Thank you those pics were very helpful and confirmed my suspicion.

Does anyone know where the 2004 Vibe draws in air for the recirc function?Is it the top of the dash or somewhere underneath it?Thank you ...

Hi guys, I have a coupe of questions for those of you that have a scangauge.-Does the 2004 Vibe have a fuel cutoff when coasting in gear?-And if so, where do we set the LOD # on the scangauge to watch it?Thanks ..

It may not be to far off though ... I pull 46 mpg in an automatic, over a 55 mile one way commute each day. My speed is steady 55 mphIn fact the other day I tried driving the speed limit, 65mph & 70mph in other parts and the scangauge was reading 38mpg.And I have no engine mods, so I may have to...

I do plan to lower it .. I will lean on you guys for the best advice on the proper drop set up for the Vibe. I'm used to air suspensions and the like.So any advice on what spring set up to use? Is there any that can give me less rake and more level a drop, even drop the rear more since I have no wei...

Here's my Vibe on her way to 60mpg hwy ...

I am no longer on the stock tires, I have since switched over to Goodyear tires, and have had no issues with the PSI I am currently running, infact I can say with certainty that I am getting better wet and Dry traction because of it. Either way, here are some update pics on the grille blocks I did y...

Are you good at custom fabbing parts/welding? Im pretty sure some of that was involved in the swap... look luck and keep us posted!...

I have a center console that I guess acts like an armrest is that what you mean? If so what do you have to replace it with?

It's nice to see you guys trying to push your Vibes for better mileage. It's possible, so don't give up ... my 2004 Auto averages no less than 44mpg per tank, unless I let some one else drive and so far my 1 tank high was 49mpg.I have the goal of 60mpg on all gas ... this may take some heavy mods, b...

Someone mentioned that their may be other threads on this subject. Has any member carried out this conversion? I am interested in a unique parts list for the conversion, no need to bring up price as I can manage to get it done inexpensively, I just want to prepare and gather components that aren't t...

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »If mileage is so important, why did you buy an automatic to start with? I didn't buy the car, it was given to me, so this has become another project car in my collection. I have the mechanical skills to do the job, however I wanted to gather what engine componen...

"I'm assuming you have done this before on other cars? if so any pictures? and what did you obtain for MPG's?Cool idea (for something different)"Actually no, this is the first time I concentrate my efforts for this type of goal. As far as vehicle modifications, yes, I have been customizing...

Never .. as long as junkyards exist, I can purchase all components for less than $400, Vibe's tend to hold their value, therefore I am on the right course.

Hi guys, glad I stumbled on to this site and as you will immeadiately notice my Vibe is heading in a totally different direction as most of yours. I wanted to squeeze some more gas mileage out of the Vibe so I began to alter my driving habits. Once I noticed that 40 mpg was an easy goal with this au...

Hey guys, I have an 2004 Auto Vibe. I have taken it beyond saving gas, as that was the easy part @ 44 mpg + per tank average, I am now setting my sites on 60mpg.In order to get me there I will have to switch to a manual tranny. So I have 2 questions.Is there a manual version of the standard Vibe? 5 ...

Hi guys, I jumped over from the Ecomodder board to get some insight into my 2004 Vibe. I hope to contribute some useful info regarding this great little car as well as get some help from you guys.Laterz ...
