like mikey00 allready said, our little engine is not "big" enought to generate enough heat to warm up to operational temp, which is around 180. Few weeks ago we had cold weather with snow, while cleaing my sidewalk i statred my vibe to heat it up and melt the snow from windshield. after 30...

Pawel

Am I reading this correctly that the milage info is stored within the cluster? So, if I get the '04 cluster as a replacement for my '03 cluster, the new cluster will not indicate "my" milage?

Pawel

spyder...i just checked their zgperformance ebay store and they only offer the hid low/halogen high kits. where did you see your kit?

Pawel

do i have to punch out the bolts to remove the disc from the hub assembly?

Pawel

I'm planning on removing the front and rear disc to service my brakes. does anyone ever tried this? My mechanic told me that it is "pain in the (removed)"... I just want to know if i should do it myself or go to shop.

Pawel

Looks great!

Pawel

I'm at the point where everthing is off except the rotor. Is the next step to punch out the wheel studs from the wheel hub and rotor?

Pawel

Hey Psychobroker.What kind of rotors did you get? X-drilled? I'm looking to change my rotors but all I found so far were slotted ones and I want X-drilled. also, where did you get your pads?

Pawel

ragingfish, you are correct. I have a 03 GT with that ugly pontiac red cluster, which is ok during night time driving but really sucks during day time (DRLs are off & auto headlights) . And I want to swap it for the 04 or newer cluster. The guy from ebay didn't respond yet, so I guess we will se...

Pawel

I really don't know much about clusters, but what's the difference between non GT and GT cluster? I believe that except for different suspension set up, rear disc brakes and engine, the rest is the same??

Pawel

Will 2005 cluster assembly fit a 2003 vibe??The assembly i'm looking at is from base vibe and i drive a gt. Please i need help on this. Thanks

Pawel

Hey everyone... I got LEDs installed in back with the load resistors. everything works like it should. the only one problem i foresee is that the LEDs do not generate as much heat as regular bulbs... and they will not melt snow off the lights.. i'm just lazy to clean them i guess

Pawel

I guess I will post my pic as well. This was taken in Grand Canyon last summer.

Pawel

Hi all. I got a quick question. Does anyone know what might be wrong if engine above 3000 rpm acts like "there is a fuel shut off"? From 0 to 3000 rpm everything is ok, then as soon as rpm needle goes beyond 3000 rpm it shuts on and off (similar when fuel shut off engages to prevent over r...

Is anyone thinking about installing a HID kit? Did any of you find a kit which allows both Low/High beam operation? I'm really considering geting a HID kit.

Finally, I got my AEM CAI installed. I love the sound that it makes! I will "test" it today.

Pawel

Thanks everybody. I just ordered one from adventon

Pawel

Can someone post links to site that will have either Injen or AEKM CAI for GT? My GT is in the shop and my mech said that he will install one for me.

This is my 3rd car with manual tranny. I never put p brake on unless I'm parking on really big hill. I believe that leaving car on only p brake is wrong. P brake cable might get lose much easier then tranny popping out of the gear. Just my $.02

The AEM makes more low end power, and the Injen give the best high end power. Here is the dyno that show you are right. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1116&postid=21548#21548 [/QUOTE]Hmm.
