I read through most of the six pages about the clutch going early and so forth. I have 17k on my GT and when I hit lift in fist gear the RPM gage shoots up like Im driving on a patch of ice. There is no longer that extra kick that there used to be. Im guessing this is the clutch but would like some ...

IceCold

Well I did for my Finance's car and now there is a grinding sound coming from the rear right tire. Kinda difficult to describe but kinda sounds like a flat tire (the tire is not flat). When I apply the brakes it gets a lot louder so Im thinking it has something to do with the brakes. She has a Lance...

IceCold

Not totally sure about this but I think the Unichip is a 'piggy back' unit that attaches to your cars cpu. With it you can probably change air : fuel ratio, rev limits, lift engagement points, etc... CAI stands for Cold Air Intake.

Cause of my poor driving record I have to find new insurance. Im looking at Progressive and naturally they ask about your violations. I got a seatbelt violation 2 years ago and the only category it fits into on the Progressive website is a safety violation. Only thing is though is that jacks my insu...

it was a 2003

my boss called my Vibe girlie and gay until I stayed neck and neck racing his Rustang GT (auto) from 70+ on the highway

IceCold

Anyone think its annoying that the clutch has to be on the floor to start the GT. My poor girlfriend has to basically hug the steering wheel to start the damn thing (short legs). Anyone know of a way to disable this? Thanks

IceCold

yeah it would figure GM would do that...I swear to god this company doesnt want you to have any fun with YOUR vehiclehere is a pic of a celica

Is this possible? I have everything red right now but blue just looks so much better

IceCold

I paid 18300 for mine with a GM emplyoee discount

IceCold

No offense to anyone but the cops here in Western Michigan can kiss my (removed). When I moved over here I had no tickets, still drove the same, did the same stuff and managed to get pulled over 14 times in a little more than 2 years. 1. Speeding (10 Over) 2. Noise Violation 3. Speeding (10 Over) 3....

IceCold

Kinda reminds me of when I used to work at the GM Roadside call center. No humor in this but a locksmith got sent out to slimjim an Aurora. Problem was the Aurora had side airbags and while slimjimming the door the airbag went off decapitating and killing him instantly. Later tests were done and a s...

IceCold

what do you mean by 'pop' and when does it happen exactly?

IceCold

so thats 200 watts by 6 channels then...but there is tweeters so maybe is 40x4 (for the speakers) and 20x2 (for the tweeters)...but either way i should get 45-50 watts RMS for my speakers then

IceCold

Anyone know the wattage from the factory amp?

IceCold

well to answer your question, there is a spot designated for the mass air flow sensor. just basically screw it in.

IceCold

So I was looking on the website for the 2004 Vibe and it says the GT has 173 hb at 7600 RPMS ....Correct me if I'm wrong but thats different from the 2003. Well I know it is cause mine will go to 8200 rpms and the peak hp is close to 7800. Anyone else notice this yet. I also know toyota cut the peak...

IceCold

yeah not counting on getting the car for free. Best case scenerio would be getting it at dealer cost. For the record too the car is a new Lancer not a Vibe. I have my Vibe and love it but this is the girls car but I have to do all the dirty work. There is only a few states (Florida and Texas I belie...

IceCold

So the dealership said they were going to pay the difference between the two loans. Kewl in think. Wrong. Just to be safe I sent the new loan paper to my lawyer and he said absolutely do not sign the new loan. Apparently the put the difference of the two loans that they were going to pay in the down...

IceCold

So the new contract we renegotiated was bull s**t too. They said they were going to cover the difference. Yeah, they put the difference in the downpayment section of the loan paper. Only thing is we didnt pay that much. So if we were to have signed it then the payments would have been way higher. Th...

IceCold

hey thanks a lot...

IceCold

Did a search and didnt find anything...Can someone fill me in on how to do this properly and how to avoid damaging the paint. Thanks

IceCold

alright got back from the dealership. i guess the bank wanted proof of the $1200 monthly income she makes in tips. well any intelligent server knows not to claim all there tips; therefore she can only show she makes $800 monthly. This is what they said as to why the loan was cancelled. I told them t...

IceCold

My girlfriend reciently took delievery of a Lancer (2 weeks ago). She got approved for the loan, sign and it and all was good. Now the dealership is calling back and saying that the loan was cancelled. She is a server at a restaurant so her wages vary a little. Still though we quoted $1200 a month o...

IceCold

yes quite possible defective, but I believe that the DRL do not run the bulbs at full power which would be harmfull to a bulb if it were not made to do so. Either ways a HID would be way to expensive so I'll stick with my Silverstars.

IceCold

Noticed today on the way back from class that one of my Silverstars burned out. First thing I did was cut out that damn DRL. I guess running the Silverstars at 3/4 power during the day doesnt do them much good. Question I have is the BMWs have a real nice set of headlights. They have a blueish glow ...

IceCold

ok i got a pretty good idea of whats happening and what to do. I want the lights to come on when the door opens and when I turn the dome switch to on. Basically I want them to act exactly like the dome lights do. So I dont end up cutting a bunch of wires for no reason, which two wires should I splic...

IceCold

I've kinda noticed that topics in forums here disappear after a while with no replies. Can we keep this one up? I sure as hell would want to show this thread to someone because there are a hell of a lot of VGT and XRS people having this problem...you can tell just by reading this thread alone.

IceCold

no not a lot of GT's in my area either...kinda like it that way. My experiences are the same with Roadpig. I smelled it a lot when I first got it and every now and then now. Ive know how to drive a manual for a while but this is my first manual tranny vehicle and I just figured it was normal. So yea...

IceCold

yes...to answer the question...i got pissed because i was lost one day and canned it in reverse to get back to a street i passed. lift hit at the usual spot. scared the f**k out of me. i then knew what it felt like to be thrown forward from accelerating. kinda felt like i slammed on the brakes. so h...

IceCold

cool, i actually just emailed them yesterday and then today with my other email after reading the post. good idea, lets just hope they respond

IceCold

ok so let me get this straight. when the dome light is on the red with black is the ground, but when the dome switch was off, the red with black was the power and the red with white was the ground. is this correct? if so then where locally can I get a 12v power from? Thanks all for the input, you al...

IceCold

Thats exactly what I am trying to do but only with the dome lights. Only question is where to I connect the relay to? I tried to hook the lights up to the dome switch. The dome switch has a red with a white light, a red with a black line, a white with red line, white with black line, 2 greens and a ...

IceCold

Not sure if this is in the right forum but, I wanted to put in some red lighting down by the foot area of the front seats and connect it to the dome light. Problem is there is no where to splice the wires into, except for the overhead lights, which would be a pain in the (removed). So does anyone ha...

IceCold

called the dealer back and found that the car is misfireing on the 1st cylinder and randomly misfireing on the other 3...holy s**t huh...they said the CAI could have pinched some wires but other than that they dont know...since ive had the CAI for 3 months or so now with no problems I dont really th...

IceCold

well took it to the dealer today to figure out whats happening...no feedback yet though...they said it would only be a couple hours but its been a lot more than that...hope nothing serious is wrong...also im almost certain its not the CAI since I have had it for 3 months now which no CELs going off....

IceCold

The other day Im heading home and notice that the check engine light is on...Now today the light is still on but the car is acting really weird...When I start to accelerate it feels like the car has no power...after a few seconds of this then the power comes back...this all happens around 3-4k RPMs....

IceCold

wow all...thanks for all the insight as to how to shift better...i get the idea now that you need to stay in Lift as you switch gears...when i really think about it, thats imparitive for quick acceleration...anyways gonna keep trying...thanks again

IceCold

ok thats make perfect sense, but what if your running a lot of accessories...amps, lighting, etc...is it bad to have these then

IceCold

Any tips for quicker shifting??? how about double clutching??? what is that and how do i do it...thanks

IceCold

I live in Michigan and have an Injen CAI...What are the possibilities of hydrolocking occuring and what conditions would I want to avoid driving in

IceCold

just did it...that was a walk in the park...in fact it was prolly easier than the headlights...thanks a bunch i didnt even think to get at them from underneath

IceCold

Anybody know a good way to get the foglight bulbs out from the Vibe. The headlights were a walk in the park but the foglights are looking to be a little tougher
