I own a Black on Black 2003 Vibe GT. It has 90,000 miles on it. Everything is in good condition except the engine. The engine has a rod knock and needs to be rebuilt or replaced. It has new tires, clutch, rebuilt transmission. No body damage and some minor scratches inside. 6 disc changer. I am tryi...

I have a small leak in my AC condenser. The other day I was in Rite-Aid and I noticed this product (can't remember the name) which claimed that when sprayed into the AC system, replenishes the AC coolant, as well as seal any leaks. Before I throw down my $20 for this stuff, I was wondering if anyone...

I don't plan on going that fast. Just curious...

does it hit top speed in 5th or 6th? My Dad's '98 Z28 hits maximum speed in 5th gear.

I am just wondering about the top speed of our cars. Mention how fast you have gone in yours and also what the factory claims the top speed to be. Base vibes/matrix please share also. I've had mine up to about 120 mph on a open stretch. '03 vibe gt

I was wondering what some symptoms of having worn or broken lift bolts could be. Other than the obvious symptom of the lift fuction not working. Are there warning signs before the bolts acutally break? Thanks for any input

What he quoted me was $450 for the part, plus 3 hours labor at around $85 an hour. So we're talkin over $600. I'll get some other quotes. Thanks for your info

I am wondering if it would be possible to fix a tiny leak in the a/c comptressor in my '03 GT. I suggesting welding the hole shut. My mechanic said that it wasn't possible to do that and then quoted me $450 for the part and about 3 hours labor. I have already found some condensers online for about $...

it would be great if it was a 2 minute job. Anything too far beyond that and I will let it be. Frankly I'm sick of my passangers commenting on it.

Does any one know how to dismantle the reverse beeping sound for a 2003 GT. Any input appreciated. thanx

You know... I bet they didn't rebuild the head. It took them several attempts to get this far before the even knew about the lift function. I ignorantly assumed that they would do their homework on this engine. I'll be on the phone about that tomorrow. Thanks

I'll see about that. Maybe I can get something posted tomorrow. thanks

I recently had my GT's engine rebuilt. The shop and I are still trying to iron out a few kinks. One issue I'm having is asort of high pitched metalic ringing/whistle type sound during lift only. (Bearings??) It is loud enough to be heard over the engine. Any one have any input on where to look for a...

that is what I was expecting. thanks for your time

thanks... looks like it's probably a 1zz. I need a 2zz or other worthy replacement. I did leave a message anyway at the # they had listed

The folks at carparts.com sounded a bit shadey to me. I basically got the impression that they advertise engines like they have them in stock. When they get a buyer is when they actually begin to look for that engine. Hopeless

I am wondering if anyone has any info on engines other than the 1.8 2zz motor that will work in my 03 vibe gt. Honda motor perhaps? I blew the motor on my vibe and I'm having a bit of trouble locating a replacement.

Thanks. It looks like I might have found one through car-part.com. I guess I will know for sure when I can speak to someone on monday. They are asking $2,000 for a 2zz with 58K from a matrix.

thanks. yeah I am aware of the various applications of this motor. With so many applications you would think they would be easier to find.

No kidding... a small world after all. my vibe had about 85K on it when it went. or when I killed it. advice to all- don't down shift into second when your doing about 70mph in a poor attempt to save your brakes. You will destroy your car but, thank god, your brakes will be just fine. You could call...

Hello all. I am looking for a used 2zzge engine for my 03 vibe gt. Any suggestions? These are hard to come by... any input will be appreciated
