(removed). well he got caught up in traffic just down the road. and i caught up to him. he was in the left lane, i, in the right. the road made this 90` s-curve. after getting through that the car in front of him was going slow but the car in front of me and i were accellerating faster. now im a saf...

woot! new update. as of jun. 30 i will be leaving tejas for 3 mos. going to mccall idaho to build a barn with uncle and aunt who are moving there from here. uncle has a saab with a stick. finally my chance has come! btw, im keeping my vibe. after much reasearch, it was much cheaper to stick with thi...

yeah i went with a different wheel as noted in another post. these are 17'' racing sparco ds1 with 225/45/Z17 BFgoodrich g-force TA KDW NT. got em from "disco re co". that's discount tire co., but the lights were burnt out and thats what it spelled. ordered online direct with certificates ...

and already attracting the unwanted attention....not from cops, but "ricers" and dumb people in general. as i was pulling out of my neighborhood. i noticed a black car a few cars behind me as i was making the left turn from the stoplight. i looked in my rearview and i thought that looks ki...

i think you just remove the wire connected to the negative terminal. wait a few seconds then reconnect. (digital clock time should have changed as there was no power). can anyone else confirm? i may be wrong

*ahem* i would like to proclaim myself as mike "thunderpants" (whatever the hell that means). i too own a lava vibe. not an 05 though.

you didn't run into any deep puddles did you? well it is quite difficult to suck up any water through the intake since the vibe has such high ground clearance unless you took the short cut through the lake.hehe.seriously...that's strange....an 06 and CEL came on. you could take it to the dealer, but...

The GT's transmission isn't as forgiving as some other sticks i've driven, but it does force you to get into the groove of driving stick pretty quickly.I probably wouldn't trade in until you have a good handle on how to drive stick, otherw...

Quote, originally posted by northvibe »I also heard that upgrading the shifter with a new one helps alot (like a short throw) you are talking about the gt shifter right? is it just too stiff, resistance?hmmm any other gt owners have input? did this seem to get easier with repeated use(it needed to ...

hey that doesnt sound like a bad idea. haha i can see the puzzled look on the rental employee's face when he sees me drive off and im starting up every 5 yards.know any places that rent scions? or vibe gt's?or does anyone recommend something else?

well thanx for all the input. doing more research too. vibe is ~150lbs lighter on curb weight. though what you all say about the tc's torque seems it would be worth consideration. what i would miss about the vibe is the 6 spd, vvtl-i(and a whopping 4 hp). drop the extra gear and add more torque and ...

proud owner of a 04 base auto. i love this car, but i wanna learn a stick. i've done some work on it(intake, exhaust, springs,etc..) so trading it in seems pointless.......until i came across an 05 abyss gt that the dealer has for $15.6k. they wanna get rid of it fast. also been looking at the scion...

yeah i noticed the tc wheels looked similar. but i like the hyper black on red. paint the calipers black too.

looking to get these in 18's on a lava monotone. need money though.200/ea. and tires @120/ea. sigh....

yes a bit pricey. but if you think, manual shift knobs dont have any electronics(O/D button). and other auto shifters just have the shift button, which would render the o/d useless. it is a hefty price to pay for having a unique car though.

staring down into the exhaust tip of the magnaflow cat-back. this thing must drive the people in my neighborhood nuts.

hehe sorry i was writing the post while you were posting. Yeah it's got an O/D button. Its kinda funny though, you can click and unclick it like a pen, but thats just to lock the button in place.When its in the up position you then tap it to turn it on and off. I believe I got it from cardomain.com....

e-brake handle. its hard to distinguish but its chrome with red. sunny day what can i say?
