Anybody try that pre-cut kit from e-bay ?Looks interesting...

djpositivek

Hmmm... well that sucks. I have the extended warranty till 100,000 kms too. Anybody else have comments on the 5w50 oil ? Would this void my warranty ?

djpositivek

Just an update...Decided to go to Costco. Very happy with their service. No appointment needed, car was almost ready after I did a bit of shopping. It may have been a special they had on, but they didn't charge me for the tire rotation, only for the oil change. Decided to go with the Synthetic since...

djpositivek

Hmmm... interesting. Apparently the deals vary depending on what part of the country.http://www.gmcanada.com/englis....htmlAlthough the same "semi-anual" inspection in ON is $10 cheaper than in Atlantic Canada I guess individual dealers are free to offer different specials, unfortunately t...

djpositivek

I was surprised. Apparently it's not my dealer, it's GM Canada. Same price accross the Country for all GM vehicles.

djpositivek

Ok, I was going to go in for my second oil change and I guess it's time for a "semi-annual" inspection. They want to charge $59.95 for that and then another $35.95 for the oil change. In my opinion this is crazy. All I need is an oil change and tire rotation in my opinion.I think I'm going...

djpositivek

Bought at McPhee's in Dartmouth since Carroll's (Bedford Highway) didn't have much selection. Went to Carroll's for the oil change since it's in a much more convenient location. I think both dealers charge the same price for an oil change but I'm not sure.

djpositivek

Well went to the dealer for fist oil change and it was like $42.99 including taxI think I might go to Costco next time. For that price I can get Synthetic or do the regular for half the price almost.

djpositivek

Welcome fellow Nova Scotian. You will enjoy the Vibe I'm sure. I know I am.

djpositivek

Haven't seen any nice Vibes or Matrix's around Halifax. Seems like everyone here has a Civic or an Integra. All Vibes I've seen were stock.

djpositivek

Nice pics. Very Unique looking Vibe. I might have to get me a reflective decal or two.

djpositivek

did he send instructions and if so, did you follow them ?

djpositivek

I did a search and found MiVibe-ToolGuyHe's listed as being in Michigan.I think someone here made up a specific doc. to print out and put on people's windshields if you're interested.

djpositivek

I don't think VOTM is the problem. I'm new and I figured it out. The cars that had no pics or link to pics didn't get my vote. No big deal. I think the problem is one bad member. I haven't seen one positive post from George. All he does is stir the pot up and he seems to love the attention. If I wer...

Welcome to the board from another new member. A lot of new Vibe owners lately ! I must say it'd be cool to have a Vibe with a rare color but the Envy color isn't one I would choose. Let's just say it would be a good color for Mr. Poopypants

djpositivek

ok I finally got around to doing this... Worked like a charm. Too lazy to print the instructions off and my memory sucks so I brought the laptop out to the car will come in handy every now and then. I wonder if there are any other little secrets like this one ?

Congrats ! Very nice ride...How many cars were in your class and what makes/models were you up against ?You need some nice aftermarket wheels now.

djpositivek

Congrats Faultline ! I voted for Damron's Vibe but I'm new and haven't seen pics of yours yet. I'm sure it's awesome.

djpositivek

Are they covered under warranty ? Even if a stone/rock is the cause of the break ? (wishful thinking...)

I'm glad I got the extended warranty (5yr/100,000 kms)Especially by the sounds of all these problems you guys are coming accross.

Got a 4'x6' mat from Home Depot and did this for my Vibe. Couldn't find a 3x5 so I had to spend a few extra bucks. Cost me around $26 CANTurned out pretty nice, I'll try and get some pics soon.Thanks for the tip, much cheaper than $100 for a factory mat.

djpositivek

Thanks for the tip CP. I got some of this Nevr-Dull stuff and it works great. I got it at Canadian Tire and was ready to pay around $8 for a can of it but to my surprise it rang up half price. Sweet.My car is new so it wasn't that dirty but this will be good to keep it shined up. I'm impressed with ...

djpositivek

Leftover chicken & rice.I have a craving for Arby's Bacon Cheddar Melts, I think I might go tomorrow.

djpositivek

Yeah there's a kit that you buy for $10 or something. Comes with stuff to clean filter and grease it I think. Helps catch more particles from what I understand.Maybe if anyone has one in their Vibe they can comment on it. If it affected fuel mileage, etc...http://www.knfilters.com

djpositivek

Oops sorry that was the oil filter...I read your post too quickly.The K&N sounds like a good replacement like someone else mentioned. More money now but better filter and should last a lifetime.

djpositivek

Thanks I saw that photo but wasn't sure where to look. I'll check tomorrow when it's light out.I was looking inside the rear wheel wells and noticed that one side has a plastic covering and the other side doesn't. Almost looks like it's missing on one side. Anybody have these and know if they are su...

djpositivek

Welcome to GenVibe !Those Ground Effects would look nice on my '05 Black Vibe but I couldn't afford them (especially after shipping to Canada).

djpositivek

I tried to contact the e-bay seller for these twice but got no response. If anyone else tried to contact seller, did you get a response. I was going to order these as long as shipping to Canada wasn't too bad. It only lists a shipping price for US and says to contact seller for shipping outside US. ...

djpositivek

Should be the same filter I think ? I've read bad things about the Fram filters on here. You're probably better off getting the Toyota filter from the Dealer.

djpositivek

Where exactly are these holes ?

djpositivek

Sorry to hear about your situation... Sounds like you had one hell of a day.I can't believe how different things are in the U.S. and Canada. No offense to anyone but in Canada you'd be lucky if an officer would have even pulled you over. Sounds like there was no reason for all the cars and guns.

djpositivek

Thanks for the advice guys. The ones with the front holder were too big. Bought some M6 x 1.0 and they fit perfectly. Don't think they're stainless so I'll keep looking for some and keep an eye on these ones. They should be good for awhile. Once again, you guys helped out where the Pontiac dealershi...

Anyone see "Gone in 60 Seconds" ? Some of the most exotic & powerful cars and they gave them all Ladies names. Heck I'd be happy to give my car a Ladies' name

djpositivek

If you're planning on getting the windows tinted you could get them to put a strip in the front. That would look good and be functional.

No problem. I don't think there are too many "repost" Nazzis here. There have been a few people asking about this lately so having it posted a few times might mean someone will see it. I know myself I tend to miss those "stickies" up there sometimes.The "search" functio...

I only have 2000 kms on my new Vibe but I'm thinking about my first oil change. I might go the synthetic route (prob. Mobil 1) and thought that I might get the dealer to do the oil changes anyway just so they could keep track and do any other maintenance at the same time etc...Anyway they want $20 C...

djpositivek

You might have a new invention there raging. Just re-name the packaging to say "badge remover" and you could make millions ! Not sure if the gap would be wide enough on those. Maybe you'd have to customize them.

I just noticed this is a head to head league. I'm used to Rotisserie so I'll have to read up on the ins and outs.

Thanks Flab, this has actually been made a "sticky" in the tech info & do it yourself forum.
