Re: (vibe-04)

I have been battling lower back problems for about the last 5 years and I find the seats to be comfortable in most ways, but they provide no lower back support unless the seat is outrageously reclined - and that is not comfortable at all for me.I put 19,000 miles on this car in its first 8 months an...

Re: (2tone Vibe)

I guess I'm taking my seats off the market (at least for now). I found an inflatable lumbar unit at an Aircraft supply house. $40 each. If they work, I'm going to have them sewn in to the existing seats.

Re: (Tubaryan12)

Thanks, I might check them out before I take a plunge in uncharted consumer territory. I had heard that before and, being Toyota equipment, they might fit nicely.Nevertheless, my current, top o' the line factory seats would still be for sale if anyone wants leather seats. The funny thing is, I wante...

Re: (Raivis)

Corbeau has a seat with an inflatable lumbar. Uncovered base seat is $219.00. With the lumbar and leather, they will probably get up to 350 -400 each. I'm thinking about buying uncovered seats and getting them finished locally to match the car.Anyone want to buy my stock seats? The car is an '06 and...

Front Seat Replacement

I'm thinking about replacing my front seats with a more comfortable seat for long trips (I drive a lot). I now have 19,000 miles on my '06 since I bought it last September.It wouldn't have to be a power seat - something with a manually-adusted lumbar would be just fine. Has anybody done this? I woul...

Re: (K-NINE)

Yeah, mine does it too. I have put on 15,000 miles since I bought the car new in September, but it still does it occasionally. I've never been able to pin it to any particular event or situation, so I have just dealt with it.

Re: Im happy with my vibe.... but (Flak happy)

but I wish it had a bit more low-end torque and, somewhere in the power band between 50 and 70 mph, I'd like it to be able to get around those semi-trucks just a little bit faster on those 2-lane roads. I also wish it wasn't so white, but I wanted the 5-speed.I think I can live with everything else....

Re: Possible Illinois meet???? (tribalman)

I'm in Springfield, but I have been known to travel for my Capri owners group and would like to meet other Vibe owners. I might have some time in April or May.

Re: supercharger installation (NascarXprt)

I have 14000 on my '06. At the rate I log highway miles with work, I should be at 36,000 (end of powertrain warranty) in another year. I plan to do the supercharger then.Sometime ago, I had tried to locate some performance specs on the supercharged vibe, but no luck. I have a base 5-speed and I thin...

Thanks gang. I suppose I will wait it out until the product comes to me. If others want it bad enough it will. I just hate getting jerked off by corporate amerika.

Re: Question about 170 HP Supercharger Kit (VforVIBE)

I just picked up my '06 Vibe yesterday, after reading about the factory supercharger. The dealer didn't know much about it, but I gave him a Mr. Goodwrench part # and told me he could order it for $2995.00 but wasn't sure about the labor. Ya see, if you install it yourself, you only get a 1-year war...
