Just for the record...it's not my Vibe. I'm a Grand Prix guy, I just thought the coating on the wheels was pretty badass, and that the dealer actually did a decent job matching everything together. It would have looked awesome with a set of aftermarket rims, but at that point, I don't think anybody ...

abe98gt

At a dealer across the highway from NUMMI. I dig the wheels too. I might try to call them back and find some info about where they had them done.

I've seen the 05 in person, and I have to say give it a second chance in person. It looks better in person than in photos, I actually thought it looked better than the 03-04.

Two annoying things...1. 6 disc in dash CD changer can be heard while playing...kinda a whirring sound...this isn't right is it? It shouldn't be!!!2. The weatherstripping that runs along the roof in front of the roof rack is wavy going up and down now. What can be done about it?

abe98gt

I bought one of these yesterdayhttp://users3.ev1.net/~chauvin555/LS1M/and was wondering if I could also use it on my Vibe. What kind of OBD2 port does the Vibe use? I hope it is the GM one. Does the Matrix use the same one as the Vibe (I would assume so)...Thanks

abe98gt

Yea, its a good one

abe98gt

Seriously man, buy yourself a few more Kiss CD's, the K&N drop in won't do anything for ya.

If she doesn't know squat about cars, then just work it in as mantaining your car. "Honey, the shop said my car needs a new intake...you know, these Vibe's aren't Rolls-Royce's, they need a new intake every 20,000 miles!" I heard a C5 guy tell me he told his wife that Corvette's need new h...

CS? IP?

abe98gt

This is not a vendor situation, but if you want one, contact me and I can get you a new one in box minus a few bucks. Only one! Preferrably in the bay area around SF, but anywhere in the US should work just fine as well. AIM - abe98gtemail - abe98gt@hotmail.com

Is this from perfect fit?

Thanks Nova!

abe98gt

oh yea, missed that...sorry...was replying to the post based on memory, which obviously failed me at 1AM. Thanks again nova

abe98gt

ttt, any new info? I was really hoping for something more traditional, likeintake duration/exhaust duration, intake lift/exhaust lift, lobe separation angleex.Stock Grand Prix L36/L67 CAM 182/190 .412/.408 115with 1.6 '' rocker

abe98gt

On supercharged Grand Prix's, an aftermarket intake, whether it is home-depot-in-the-fenderwell or a $200 CAI will bring out the whine quite a bit. If you have the supporting mods, put a smaller pulley on the supercharger, and it'll whine even louder.

abe98gt

Has anyone here with a base and/or GT Vibe scanned their car for KR yet? What kind of KR are you getting for 87, 89, 91 or 93 octane gas?These cars do have knock sensors right?!?!!

abe98gt

What are the stock spark plugs, and how long is the recommended interval before changing?I assume the plugs for base Vibe's and GT's are different, so if you know the info, post it up, it would be a nice faq thread (I couldn't find any on search). Thanks.

abe98gt

looks good

Not too bad of a price either.

abe98gt

Hey, I toured NUMMI sometime after they just started making Vibe's. It's a nice place.

abe98gt

only 4 feet? You should be able to do better than that!

Just like to say that genvibe's pages load really quick, quicker than any other forum I visit. It's quite nice.

I will do this for you. I hope your father gets well, and that you can keep your nerves. God bless

congrats to genvibe!

its amazing hwo fast stuff spreads around the internet now. That is one awesome project. Cost him about 75.000 euro, which is about 89-90K US dollars. Very unique. Specs are right on, even though it might look short, its just the pics.

abe98gt

My driveway is really steep too. It's better to let the clutch out fast and just drive up the driveway than it is to slip it all the way. It's okay for your engine to be pulling around 1300~1500 rpm in a low gear like first or reverse.

abe98gt

$3K is probably without installation. It's about right for the price of a supercharger. Superchargers for C5's start around 5K, a centrifugal kit for Grand Prix's goes for around 3~4K, so it's not too bad of a price.

abe98gt

Dude, that is the nicest looking Vibe I have seen YET. Those wheels are badass. Good job!

abe98gt

damn they are taking forever with that

abe98gt

i'm sure your car sounds much faster now too.

abe98gt

Just do it. On the Grand Prix boards, tons of people debadge their GTP's for smoother look, and no one complains about it looking like a GT without a supercharger. Or the GT guys take off their badges, and no one can tell by looking from the outside whether they are a GT or GTP. It's all about the l...

Awesome! I love Evo 5's!!!

abe98gt

thanks guys. 205/55 16 is a nice tire size to come standard!

abe98gt

I know I could spend some time searching and come up with the info, but it'd be easier to ask one of you knowledgable genvibe people. If I remember, there are 15", 16" and 17" avaliable right? Could you also tell me wheel material and width too? Thanks for the info!

abe98gt

LOL! Best post of the week!!!

Just thought I'd share this thought...Our Vibe is much more comfortable in the rear than my Grand Prix, in which you sit low and the cushion is all pushed forward. In the Vibe, there's plenty of headroom, you sit upright, and theres more than enough legroom too because of that upright position. I ha...

I tried to check on gmbuypower and edmunds.com, but they haven't updated their pricing to 2004 specs yet. In 2003's, you can still order them separately. I did see that other post in this forum about 04 pricing, and they mentioned a new option package, the protection package, which was side airbags ...
