microELVIS

Well ill have a quick look over my contract when I get home, who knows.

microELVIS

Hey drunkenvibe , was that on a lease ?Ya it was just tough last year, having such high interest rates and the olds dieing at such an inopportune time, and finding a dealer that even had a base vibe in stock up here (some of you will remember that bs) and coming up with a down payment that wouldnt s...

microELVIS

Last year when I leased my vibe, I recieved an interest rate of 6.4% Since the interest rates are now so low on these cars I was wondering if a refinance would be a possibility. I make so much of a payment now, say around $430. So would the difference in interest make a similar payment for a 2004 mo...

microELVIS

eeerrr -26 ? May I ask where on gods green earth, or white in your case, are you located ? That is frikn cold for november 10th. wow....

microELVIS

Well maybe not switch injectors but you could at leat ask for a free oil change, or tilly hat from their little display atthe parts counter.

microELVIS

I as well just noticed a chip on my roof beside the rack mount, and slight rust. So now i have to somehow scrape the rust out and put chip paint in. I agree to the bad paint, its a cryn shame.

microELVIS

ok all done, parts are ordered. Even made sure it was an 04 rocker panel. They were great and all, had to look at the car and use their own tsb but thats fine. He explained how some dealers may get weary over you showing them a piece of paper. There is a warranty police, so to speak for gm, and they...

microELVIS

My cloesest pontiac dealer still refuses to recognize this tsb, and is going by the older one. Im gonna try the next closest dealer and see what they say. Better not give me "its a us tsb" bit again. Ill let ya all know.

microELVIS

I can possibly fax my copy to someone, who can possibly scan and post it or something.I have verified in belleville (ontario guys know what i am talking about) that the revised tsb is available in canada. Why the *&%**# dealer up here cant pull it up is beyond me. I even asked if he did somethin...

microELVIS

ya, wowHe has seen the 2002 document, but doesnt seem to see the july 7, 2003 version. I just dont get it, why does it come up down south and not up here. Im not gonna phone gm again cause I will get trouble from the representative about trusting the dealer and all that jaz. Besides they cant look t...

microELVIS

Thats exactly what I had, was an official printout straight from a niagara dealership. I think thats why he looked so surprised when I showed it to him, cause not any joe schmoe can get a hold of those. This is rediculous, if i still lived in the falls I could get it done by my friend but that is no...

microELVIS

ok, i even had the tsb faxed to me from a friend in niagara to ottawa. Has the july 7th date, has everything and I thought I was set. Took it to the dealer, now keep in mind he has the older tsb and parts on order but hey, I want the 04 rocker panel cause it looks nicer. So I showed the service guy ...

microELVIS

OK guys, got the dealership to order the parts. But the date on the tsb is the old one. So whatever, now i called gm to maybe get the actual tsb number so i could mention it to service in case there was a typo in the number above and this person gave me a schpeil about trusting the dealership, and t...

microELVIS

Ya i know, I dont get it. I also dont understand how its so normal, cause if you look at the front which takes the brunt of everything it has nowhere near the wear, its even hard to notice unless you really feel it with your hand. So I dont know, but I wont stop until its done. Just dont feel like g...

microELVIS

Well my frist visit to an olds place right next to work refused to replace it and said it looks normal and will only happen again. So I am off to a pontiac dealership now to see what they say. On the phone the rep said she had not heard of the tsb but will have somebody look at it. I shoulda figured...

microELVIS

I noticed that quite a while ago and didnt think they would ever want to replace that since its outisde and in the wind and things. Good thing I checked here woo hoo !!!Too bad its not the front cladding too

microELVIS

I picked mine up in november, it was built in September. I have had no rattles at all other then a passenger side speaker which was taken care of pronto by the dealer. No dash squeak, no pillar noise. As far as the paint, do have some surface scratches but I cant confirm a problem with the paint. I ...

microELVIS

I agree, CAI for sure. I dont know about a vibe, but it was 2-3 tenths on the ol buckeye's ET.

microELVIS

Hey guys, something mentioned in the filter thread made me remember something. What is the recommended tire rotation milage? Want my tires to last as long as possible so just thought id get some opinions. ....thanks

microELVIS

Ya im a GN owner, and I have also driven big V8s but no SC. The big motors are cool, but I love the turbo, its so cool.Id say in a 1/4 it all depends on how you drive a turbo or sc car. With my gn you have to brake torque until you get some boost like 5lbs or something, if you dont you'll probably g...

microELVIS

November 8th 2002, 4 months 7300 KM. No problems but a rattely speaker.

microELVIS

Yup thats messed, I think you may have just gotten a lazy cop, or one that just didnt care or whatever. Im sure most of the police are not like that or else there would be many many complaints already. The thing about following the person to their home and not calling 911. Well if she didnt have a c...

microELVIS

Im gonna have to say it has been exceprionally bad for me. When I am by myself I dont have much problem, even in rain the fog will dissipate when I use the vents as directed. The biggest problem is when I have two or more people in the car, then the fogging is crazy, with or without rain. Over the x...

microELVIS

i am into alot of trance, and i think ill have a look at that hardcore vibes track there justin. But anyways i heard a track that would be in the trance genre on the vibe website last summer when i was thinking of getting one. The track is Dream on by Analog p_ssy, made sure it was on my cd when pic...

Hydrogen cars are coming, dont anyone be fooled. By closer to the end of the 1st quarter century they will be coming in strong. Give it only 10 years and they will have started. Thats my prediction, the west will have to live without oil eventually. Its the saudis that are fooln with the prices of o...

microELVIS

Cant speak about the washer fluid level, but I can say I have automatic headlights cause when warming up in the garage they will turn on as well as the interiors, and show a green indicator in the dash. Well actually now that i think about it, when the headlights are turned on there may be a slight ...

microELVIS

Well All I can say is that you are not that far off. On the highway I can do 600km with a totally full tank. This was a trip from niagara falls to ottawa, at 120 kmhr or so with mid grade esso gas, the light was on when i got back. In the city, with a mixture of some hwy driving through the city and...

microELVIS

Hehe, not a gnx just a gn, and sure im up for some friendly peddle pressing fun any time.

microELVIS

Hey EDecker, your fire bird reminds me of that movie cannonball. No not cannonball run with reynalds, just cannonball with David Caradine, you know... Cain from Kung Fu. If you're a fan of the car Im sure you know which one Im talking about.

microELVIS

microELVIS

Well safe and legal are two different aspects. Everyone speeds I dont care what anyone says. 80mph may be technically illegal but it is not neccessarily unsafe. Many of the 400 series highways in ontario are made for speeds which exceed 130km/hr or 81 Mphr. I know that the main roads in the US are v...

microELVIS

Yup its pretty cool vibing it around with not too many others.That is why I still have the gn, dont see one of those everyday, it does an ego good.

microELVIS

Thanks guys, ill see what I can fool with.

microELVIS

Is anyones vibe bad for fogging up in wet weather ie rain or snow? Mine seems to be pretty bad for it, after a car wash it seems fine if its relatively dry. But last night it was washed quickly and not dried and seemed to fog up. The defogging works ok, it just seems to fog easily when its wet out o...

microELVIS

The snow sucks, and no im not in no xmas spirit bah humbug. I think im in the snow tire spirit though. Also need to cover the floor better in the vibe. The snow mats are too small, Ill have to think of something.Have a look at the link below if you wanna see the percipitationhttp://www.intellicast.c...

I picked mine up on erin mills in missisagua last friday, then sine traffic was sych crap going to the falls i drove through oakville on lakeshore. Didnt see any vibes or else I would've definately waved.

microELVIS

Its an 86, both years 86 and 87 have the same motors. Not many mods to the gn. Just a TTA fuel pump, kn filter, fuel regulator, upped boost. Nothing all that much. Its a 12.9 car on a good day, with tires of course.

microELVIS

Ya maybe I'll see ya, I live in kanata actually. But here are a couple pics to check out. Didnt wanna bother anyone so I just made a quick webpage. http://www.geocities.com/plalic27/2ofgmsBest.html

Driving an 82 olds for 3 years I picked up from a little old lady, finally gave up. First it decided to only get me to work and back then just wouldnt start after a week. So I decided to search for a vibe which I was set on getting anyway just at a somewhat later date, but ah well s** happens Wasnt ...

microELVIS

Contrary to my nick and avatar I have not played any songs by the king. Ive mostly played trance and dance, and especially made sure I had a track called "scent of a rose" by 303 infiniti. I heard this track on one of the vibe websites when they use to have a webcast of a station called th...

microELVIS

Thanks guys, Just got my vibe friday. Will post the story as soon as i get my pictures sent.

microELVIS

I have some winter tires I may throw on for a couple months just in case the roads get bad this year. My only concern is that my tires have some spare rims on them with no hubcap or anything. When you put them on a car it looks as though the front bearings are exposed, i have seen other cars doing t...

microELVIS

So i suppose its where you live really if its a benfit or not for the block heater. Thanks for all your posts, its appreciated.

microELVIS

By the underspray, i meant oiling due to the salt. But if you find getting a ander carrage wash every so often then thats maybe what ill do.

microELVIS

Hey guys !!!!! Didnt pick up my vibe yet, but that will be a whole other story I have to tell soon. I wanted to ask what you veterans of new cars do when you first get them.1. Do you wax ?2. Do you underspray ?, i am an ontarian ofterall but i know new cars are made with galvanized steel so they won...
