Well, I was driving home from work and heard a big pop and my exhaust got really loud. I thought maybe a bolt fell out or something but no, there is a big gaping hole in teh side at the bend at the bottom rear or the rear axle area, it wasnt hit or anything, looks like a torch burned out the hole. T...

Here is my moonstone!!! Hope it is good enough. Added a Megan Racing Gunmetal strut tower bar and TRD oil and radiator cap since these pics.

I was cruising through dealerships today and noticed a cobalt with a pontiac front, looks awsome but to my surprise it is the new G5. It is a cobalt in disguise. I like it. There is some info in it at http://www.pontiac.com/g5/index.jsp. It is the G5 pursuit in canada and it is the G5 here.

im from southampton county, but all my relatives live in fairfax and fredricksburg. I am up that way alot.

rlfreese

congrats. A child will change your life, trust me I know. But theya re also the greatest part of your life as well.

rlfreese

i actualy like it. not a big honda fan but this is a great car for the money. and pepy too. I test drove one and it is nice. very good quality. Might get one if it didnt have the whole honda thing going on.

rlfreese

nice choice in color, and im not saying that because I own it too. I just love that color. welcome to the club.

rlfreese

this is a very pricey spoiler but would look ok i believe. maybe a little race like styling. or this from the focus. might need some work to fit though

rlfreese

wish I would have known this earlier. I already got them. love them too. they look awsome.

rlfreese

actuall non of thee above. I use PIAA Rainbow for the headlight and PIAA JDM yellow for the fogs.

rlfreese

wow. that looks really nice. been wanting to do that . might get around to it since it is getting warmer. need carpet to keep stuff from scratching plastic.. I plan on making a few trips this summer

rlfreese

northvibe, join the club. I am gettting tired of the DBW. It has me flustered over no supercharger. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

rlfreese

man that sucks about the canadian tint laws. I though virginia was bad. I would say go with 5% if you want. the only windows you cant tint are the windshield and the drivers and passenger front doors. I would say go with 5% in the rear hatch, 5% on the little rears and maybe 20% on the rear doors, p...

rlfreese

i like your offset, waht is yours at. I like how the wheels kinda line with your body

rlfreese

I did a searcha nd got no answer. I am looking at getting 18x8 wheels. I just need to know what offset and tire size is going to work the best. I have tien springs and want it to look nice. here is the wheel design I am going for. I had the rs-gt wheels on my old zx2 nand they were easy to clean and...

rlfreese

looks to me like it most likley is the switch. I cant see anything else but a relay that might couse this but that isnt realy happening either. So Yes I would try replacing the switch.

rlfreese

you can get a cosmo racing CAI (cold air intake) pretty cheap from cosmoracing.com I love mine. and you can also go for tien springs, they are chap on ebay. nice ride and great drop. perform very well as well.

rlfreese

yeah, IM broke but Im not mexican. so Im a original broke americana. I wish I had the cable as well. I relly want the supercharger and it is relly pusshing my buttons.

rlfreese

you are correct. the 05/06 base have DBW the Gt and AWD still have cable.

rlfreese

I found a Wire diagram for the vibe wipers. Still doing some research. it was raining today and the garage was otherwise ocupied so i couldnt pull the panel off the hatch. I will try tomorrow when it is sunny.http://www.raintracker.com/Com...3.pdf

rlfreese

Here are some lexus wheels that are very hot and i want them to fit. to bad they are 5x4.5

rlfreese

that is weird. the wipers should nt have anything to do with the defrost. I will look tomorrow and see waht I can dig up on the wiring schematic for the car. I have to replace my 2005 vibes front left wheel bearing so I will have time to do this while i am in the garage tomorrow.

rlfreese

I turned 35850 miles on my vibe and it sounds as though a wheel bearing is going bad. I Had it aligned and tires rotated and still the front left wheel area makes a roaring sound. Sounds like a bearing to me. Now here is my problem. I was in ONANCOCK VA when this hapened and there is no dealer nearb...

rlfreese

I was going to get an 05 fusion at my dealer but all theirs were automatic and they are very hard to come by. I wanted fusion so bad and yes they had it in 05 but like I said. Very hard to come by around my area.

rlfreese

36541 miles and only had it for one year on the 31st of march.

rlfreese

click this link, you will love it. yes they are real bloopers too.http://www.killsometime.com/Vi...s.wmv

rlfreese

Oh man, another 05/06 moonstone vibe. I feel like I have a brother from another mother now. Welcome to the forum. i love my moonstone vibe, it is awsome.

rlfreese

So I was in my old hometown of Emporia, Va to visit my family and pick up my son. I was sitting at a light going straight and there was a state cop in the right turn lane about 3 cars back. So the light turns green and before I can even let off the clutch all the way I see him slap over in my lane c...

rlfreese

sure wish i could have a supercharger in my 05. they dont even have a turbo option for us yet. this sux. nice vid though

rlfreese

i have the fuzion HRi tires. they are great for the price. cant ask for much better than what I got. I am extremely happy with them.

rlfreese

I got mine a cuple weeks ago. one got slammed by a rock and didnt even phase it. the paint is sctratched around the fog light area bot no broken light. whew, saved me some money.

rlfreese

i just had my 05 realigned but it wasnt off very far. the shop said the rear cant be adjusted. is this true? never heard of that. but as far as tire wear. my rears have been fine, the front is where the wear was. even wear though, no camber just toe.

rlfreese

This is waht I have to deal with around here. This guy is a great hider and let me tell you from experience. A ss camaro cannot outrun a GTO. He pulled a guy I know who was busting 70 in a 45 in boones mill. The car looks stock other than black rims, black tint, and antennas that you cant really see...

rlfreese

Welcom to your new addiction. Cant wait for pics.

rlfreese

pretty blue bar. Just ordered my gunmetal one today.

rlfreese

yeah that is the only downside to TRD is having to alter a couple minor things. By the way the link was to a TWM shifter on ebay for a discounted price.

rlfreese

yes. you are right. i just looked at my cosmoracing intake and the filter is rather small.

rlfreese

have you looked at those filters at advance auto that are orange. I cant quite remember the name of it. had one on my zx2 and loved it. very good quality filter in my opinion.

rlfreese

that is what I thought. good test though. the ingenuity here at genvibe is crazy. Where can you get the hotchkis setup pretty cheap. ust the sway bars. I have tien springs and love them.

rlfreese

true. I like the roominess. vibe isnt as peppy but much more roomy and great on gas. I had so much stuff in my z that it bit on gas mileage. had 138K miles on it when I traded for the vibe and still running strong.

rlfreese

oh I wasnt worried about the house I know it isnt near solomons. Just not too far away. Just saying that we go to solomons all the time in the summer. I hope everything is alright. The tiki bar must survive. Sucks about peoples property though. Our house caught fire when we first moved to virginia. ...

rlfreese

I just oredered the Gunmetal Megan strutbar. Can you tell any gains in handeling with this. I have tien springs and I am going to get the progressive RSB and energy suspension bushings. I hope this strut bar will add more to my handeling as I am going to try auto-x this year. I did it with my old zx...

What a small world. i had a TWM on my Z before I traded it as well. I miss my tred zx2. that thing was fast as all get up with all the crap i had on it. I pl...

My dealer here is really good with things and said that it is a compression/firing issue witht he 05-06 mostly with DBW. That is the only cars he has sen this problem on. Mine doesnt do it too bad since I changed the plugs and had the ecu remapped by the mechanic. try that. If it is under warranty t...

rlfreese

dude, that sucks. when did this happen. My family has a beach house not too far from there at piney point near the coast guard base and naval base. We visit there all the time. this really sucks. how bad is the damage I wonder?

rlfreese

nothing "voids" the warranty unless it is the DIRECT result of a problem. Now if you tinstall an intake and part of it gets sucked into the engine then yes it will but I have never seen a dealer void a warranty for any aftermarket bolt on where I live.

rlfreese

i just think it is funny that the matrix name was used as well instead of just the vibe. Take that matrix owners. lol. this is really pathetic.

rlfreese

i did my old zx2 myself and it was perfect. but the vibe is another story, this thing doesnt seem to want to take the tint very well. the back hatch window was a pain so I took it in to a shop and let them do it for $125 all around.

rlfreese

did some reserach. so far the only parts that I have found that wont work is the rear bumper. side skirts should go and allt he fromnt should work. The bumper comes up the tailgate a little too far due to different tailight design.

rlfreese

since they are the same platform there should be no difference. I believe you could replace the fenders hood headlights, and front bumper with the matrix with no problems. that would be sweet. maybe if there is a matrix owner willing to let you look at the difference that will help. from what I ahve...
