What's the best ground to use?I'm going to do Nite Owl's method on my 2003 Probe (single CD player, base). I read through all five pages of this thread and everything seems clear except there seems to be no consensus on where to put the ground.Also, some of the wires used for connected in the phone ...

Looks like DLO Transcast gets good reviews in general on the net, however, wireless FM modulators generally are rated as only slightly superior to driving around with a bucket of warm **** in your car. It's amazing what can be foisted upon consumers these days. I'm undecided between returning the Tr...

I just picked up a DLO Transcast FM modulator, the kind that plugs into the lighter for power and broadcasts the FM signal. This thing works so poorly that I suspect there is an issue with using these on a Vibe - otherwise nobody would buy them. The sound level is ultra-low, even with both the MP3 p...

Very nice review, Ragingfish! I'll be using some of that to fix the recirculating actuator on my Vibe. You should zip that sucker up and put it up on a server somewhere for download. We could collect all the photo guides on the site this way and make a fairly comprehensive, open source service manua...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about leaving it in recirculate mode when parked. It looks like the recirc flap is made of plastic covered with a thin layer of foam to deaden any slapping sounds. If a mouse really wanted to, it probably could chew through it, but then one could chew through any ...

How is that low intake in the rain? I thought about a similar mode for a Probe I had a while back, but changed my mind after imagining my ram-air mod turning into a ram-water mod. It looks like water would have to travel upwards quite a ways to get to the air filter, so whether high speeds in heavy ...

I've only got two complaints:1. Driving position sucks (removed). The wheel is too far away, the pedals too close, and the seat is just damn funky. Also, the head rest is too far forward for me.2. Road/wind noise. I don't mind engine noise, in fact I LOVE engine noise, it reminds me that I've got a ...

Well I think I've got it cleaned out pretty thoroughly. I fashioned a small vacuum nozzle with some Tygon tubing and a shop vac, and pulled out as much as I could. Then I put the blower on "high" and it sounded clean. I can't say for sure that the top of the housing is clean - there could ...

Salsa, about Toyota being "overrated," you should know that in every single quality survey or scientific study, Toyota and Honda are always at the top. Both companies make cars that are far superior in quality to anything made by GM or Ford, and that's a FACT. That is why Honda resale valu...

Disgusting. I had my Vibe parked outdoors this summer, and recently it started making a loud clicking noise in the ventilation system. I pulled the interior filter and it turns out mice had made a nest inside the whole compartment where the recirculation flap is. Ugh. So I vacuumed it out as best I ...
