hey yall i have a 04 vibe GT with the rear disc brakes and drum parking brake. my front hub is going bad so i figured i might as well replace all four since they are all getting old. for the front i ordered the entire front knuckle that comes with a new backing plate and all that jazz. i cannot find...
went back with a tread depth gauge and my jack turns out my new tires have more tred on them than this car and i bought my tires last september... lol... but the guy wouldnt budge from the price and the rear subframe was kinda rough. oh well. it would have been nice to have an awd twin of my car.
I see that Michigan is your territory so you would know used car buying there better than I, but personally I'd be very nervous about buying that old of a car in the snow/salt belt. If sub-$3,000 is your price range, there won't be a lot of great options out there given the ridiculous prices used c...
hello guys, i spotted a 2004 AWD vibe today for sale. one owner super clean interrior (its like a time machine lol) car has 220,000 miles on it the overall condition of the car i would say is fair/good. not great. what is a good price for a AWD vibe with these conditions? he is asking $2,900 (car ha...
hi. my trans is old and has 257,000 miles on it. it still gets the job done but has been showing advanced signs of wear since I got it pretty much. I didn't notice it right away but the car has trouble going into third gear not from a calm shift but if you are above 5000 rpm when you shift from seco...
yeah man i had the adjusters as small as they could go. i should add the next morning when i came out i took the rotor on my bench and turned it upside down then kind of loosly assembled the brake shoes, springs, adjuster, and the top cross plate. i then tried to fit that assembly into the upturned ...
hey guys, my parking brake was not working so i finally decided to fix it, got all the parts but man was i having problems... i could not get the brake drum/rotor to go back on over the new parking brake shoes, i tried everything! after meddling with it all night in the freezing garage i decided to ...
i dont know about skiis, but ive used a few different top mount bike holders, and if installed correctly they will usually hang over the portion of the hatch that needs to pivot to open. however, i found simply installing the holder backwards will usually allow you to create enough clearance to use ...
thanks man i ordered them. cant wait to do a HUGE burnout!! this car has never had the parking brake since i bought it. xD i have an old set of tires i have been saving for this.. need to pick up a set of cheap rims and get them mounted ASAP
i found these, one for a toyota matrix, and one for a corolla, will they work? im not really concerned about the mounting, i can figure out some way to mount it if the brackets are different but i assume the ends should be the same right? and the same length? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Parking-Brake-C...
my parking brakes are broken 2004 GT. gonna replace most parts, new shoes hardware and cables, having trouble tracking down new rear right and left cables. seems they dont exist anymore?
Did you have any trouble with the shifter knob hitting the dash? Or trouble with the shifter boot? ok first of all you need to excuse the condition of my OG shift knob.. (i get sweaty on the back roads ok!!) the boot fits just fine it has a little extra slack tho because of the short shifter. i hav...
i highly recommend the short throw shifter from MWR. its awesome! if you are gonna replace it anyways just get the MWR shifter you wont be disappointed!
sooo... you just ganked the parts? You have to put little filters on any vacuum lines or plug any hoses? Did you have to pull the bumper? i did get a newish exhaust manifold with the motor i imported. this manifold did not have the pipe inlet that connects back to the smog pump. i dont know if dele...
Hey man I'm from Michigan. Last year was my first winter with this car. I have a 2004 Vibe GT. Never got stuck but was really hard to get going on slushy roads. I had to baby first gear all the time.. even 1/4 throttle and you spin. The tires are pretty narrow which helps in thick snow. Snow really ...
Came in the mail today. Put it in my car and the check engine light finally is off! It's only ever been the codes from the missing sensors on the Smog pump system. But I'm so happy the light is off! Car runs better too, the lift engagement is slightly lower rpm and allows for seamless lift shifting....
hey guys i own a 2004 vibe GT and i have the Smog pump/secondary air injection system deleted. i have heard from multiple sources that running a 2003 Vibe GT ECU will improve performance in my vehicle. i am having a hard time finding the correct ECU... it seems like listings online from the base,AWD...
oh my gosh! i love the Pontiac/Toyota logo hybrid sticker!!! clean rig too! i been trying to find one of those rubber things that goes on the bumper under the hatch, that looks good as well. my rear Pontiac logo was all faded pink just like yours is. i just used some automotive red paint i had and t...
No I haven't heard that... But I have been searching for a larger size oil filter to run. Back when I had my 4.3v6 S10 I used a larger oil filter that was offered.
I'll see if the V6 one fits and get back to you here, give me until the next oil change I just did her like a week ago.
Hey man I just joined here I own a 04 Vibe GT and i had the same issue with that back mount xD I was laughing the whole time dude that's good storytelling i didn't change out the studs...(or even think of it) but I remember thinking "who made this??! This is ridiculous!"
Hey fam I have my vibe and I don't have the tiedowns that run on the track portion of the cargo area. My local junkyards don't have none either. Anybody have some for sale? Or know a cheap place to get some?
Haha thanks man! I'll post some pics later today when I get my laptop setup, I tried to post from my phone and it said some error because the image was too large or w/e and yeah ik the rust factor is unheard of!! but i had all the interior out when iwas swapping the motor because why not? and i got ...
Hey fam. Last year I crashed my Pontiac G6 and I had a Pontiac key lanyard so I was like well it looks like I'm getting another Pontiac..... XD I'm cheap ok... Anyways my cousin is 6'11" yes that's right he is 7foot With his work boots on, he drives a huge Duramax truck as expected but for his ...
