I added an aux-in to my 2003 stock single CD M&T headunit last weekend following the awesome instructions laid out in this thread.And it works perfectly! Thanks!

Thanks for the input guys. I will continue to lay foam under the cargo area, inside the panels and in every crevice. Despite how much time I've already put in the car I would guess I'm only half-finished! Sound deadening is a laborious task! It is an all-or-nothing deal. Unfortunately my tire/wheel ...

thanks keithvibe, I did manage to lay down and adhere Ensolite to the floorboards from the firewall to the backseat but then ran out. I used 1 yoga mat for the 2 front doors (closed cell foam). Perhaps I'll get some more Ensolite from RAAMaudio and take your suggestion!

I finally got around to sound deadening the 2003 Vibe the past couple of weekends and although the stock audio system has improved considerably, I'm still left with a slightly disappointed feeling because I had in mind the car would turn into an S-class after this project. The project was done in 2 ...

The only reason GM/Toyota said the SC isn't compatible with the awd is they didn't want to warranty the powertrain (awd > fwd, as far as parts and $$$). But it has been done, and you're not the first to think of it. Do it!

I've been off the radar for a while haven't i?My weekends have been consumed with road cycling and racing, after my saturday workouts I'm too tired to do anything.But I still watch over MO though.I agree, I need to just get a new HU, something that'll fill up the double DIN space, something LCD, som...

(removed)? First I got that left-side LED to burn out on my radio display like a bunch of others, now sometimes when I start my car, the radio likes to read 12:00.anyone else?I've about had it with the stock Vibe H/U.

yep. What jason said:I'm running a TRD SC with the TRD piggyback. Its all the same stuff.

Sorry, I had to resurrect this old thread:Has anyone tried drilling a hole in this TBI spacer for water injection? I know URD makes one for Toyota's 3.4L, IIRC, but I don't think anyone's done WI through a throttle body spacer. It'd be a clean install if it could be done!http://www.urdusa.com/produc...

sorry to say rocketfella, but 8.5L for every 100km is only 27mpg. Where did you get that number?With solid "hwy" driving at 75-80 mph (121-129km/hr), I get 33 mpg (14km/L), "City" is more like 24 mpg (10.2km/L).I would only use the EPAs mpg ratings as a mere guideline. There is n...

Well, I finally installed my probe on the header for EGT. It was really hard taking a 1/4" bit up to that nice JP header and boring a hole in one of the runners, but once I had the pilot hole made, there was no turning back. Install was clean and easy ('42 Draft Designs' even includes shrink wr...

so the Vibe doesn't have a lock-up torque convertor? Overdrive on my 4th gen Monte Carlo was 4th gear with the tc locked up, and I always though overdrive meant having your torque convertor locked soas to improve economy on an auto tranny. on a side note, OD on the Monte was annoying: 130hp V6, 3600...

Hey guys, sorry I missed this thread. Yeah, my base Vibe is supercharged and Dreday fitted a short ram intake in there. Its just a simple one he got off ebay, and it gets a little close to the strut, but no problems. I have a TRD CAI that I am going to install soon, and I didn't anticipate any probl...

oh man. Here goes:don't give me a hard time. A photographer friend took this of me, she was artsy.

scherry2, right on. My thoughts exactly.Guys, you're talking all this aftermarket stuff. Just go to a salvage yard and find an old Caprice. Grab one of those horns for $5. They sound great.

silver_vibe, those are some nice chrome irocs you have there on that elky.

mawwaige!She's getting mawwied.Married?Yeah, mawwied.Married?Yeah, mawwied. Sheesh!/vague reference//who can guess it?

ha! I'm a registered user at montecarloss.com as well! Under the same user name. That site rocks, those guys know so much about that car, its amazing. I think the latest mod was using the spindles off the A-bodys (Caprices) to improve chamber in the front handling while reducing bumpsteer. There are...

thats too bad, I'd sell it to you - you sound like you'd give her a good home, which is all I want for her. I joke and say that as I get richer, by cars will get older and bigger. Not a muscle car, but the lines of this baby are undeniable:http://www.buick-riviera.com/p...1.jpg

Hey yeah, those are Irocs. Its commonly done within the Chevy crowd, they look nice, don't upset the lines of the car and they age well. And wow, a 383! Nice. Unfortunately, this car came with the 4.3L which essentially the 350 (same bore and stroke) but with two cylinders cut off - but lots of low ...

oh man, thats good. I did the online thing for a while. Its not as odd as one might think, and out here in SoCal, the selection is really good. Lotsa hotties. There were so many, you really have to put up special filters to minimize the crowd. One thing that drove me crazy was the question, 'what an...

I love the 4th gen Monte Carlos. Here's a pic of mine. This is my first and only car; I'm 29 and have driven this the past 11 years. I'm sure going to miss her, she's sexy. I am selling her to help with the downpayment on what I hope to be a sc'd Vibe

hmmmm....(rubs hands together, slyly). If I could find one like that, it'd sort of be a loop hole. That would rock as I'd be able to get a same-model-year with the SC. As I don't own one yet, anyone got a picture so I can get an idea of what exactly to look for? I would be able to go into the lot, p...

TRD4reel, thank you so much. This is exactly the kind of answer for which I was looking. Why can't the sales guys be as informed?/knows more about his Monte than some mechanics

I work in the UTC area, went over to Miramar Pontiac GMC Truck on my lunch and spoke with Michael (sales guy) and Marty, who seemed to be the guy to whom Michael answered. Marty seemed confident that the sc was compatible with the '05. /seemed hard pressed to sell me an '05 :/

Does anyone know for certain if the supercharger thats been installed on the '03s and '04s is compatible with the '05s? I talked to a pontiac dealer today, but at first they didn't even know you could get a sc for it, so i don't really trust their answer. I might just play it safe and find and '04

I seem to be having trouble tracking down some hard numbers on SC'd Vibe 1/4 mile, 0-60, and 0-100 times. I did a search on the board here and in most threads its inconclusive. I know its winter right now, but anyone manage to make a run and get some numbers? I hear mid 14's would be possible? thank...

cool, thanks so much guys. I would still like to monitor oil and volts, so a dual A-pillar pod might be in the works then. I am sure autometer makes something that'll mesh well with the existing setup. I can't wait to pick up my Vibe

Back in the day, both to save money and to avoid freaking out the consumer when they see the water temp creep past 180°F on a 5 mile ascent, the manufacturers installed "idiot lights." Nowadays, they install what appear to be gauges, but I've heard they're still switched. Do the gauges in...
