hotbug1776

Welcome, love the color!!! I hope your vibe gives you years of joy and faithful service.

Maybe we'll see you in Erie, Pa on the 7th of July at the Genvibe meet.

Again, I hope you enjoy your vibe for many years to come.

Autoplicity.com carries the base header for around $270. I'm ordering mine this week.

hotbug1776

I'm almost 6'3" and would so rock an IQ. I think as a non-family vehicle it's just about perfect. Why lug around all that extra just to go to work, or on a solo road trip. I'd like it more as a diesel or electric (for driving to work).

hotbug1776

Just a reminder that the show is up on the "events" of the Genvibe Facebook page. I see some of you have RSVP already, which really helps me to get the event planned. If I could get a more "final" number by June 1st, I would greatly appreciate it. Better numbers helps me to bette...

Option 6

I tend to be messy and black is easiest to hide. Lol

Sarah's is at the entrance to the park and a couple minutes walk to Waldameer amusement park. Also, a very popular seasonal eatery is located here.

Keeps the car from rolling or tilting in the round parts. curves I was hesitant to take at moderate speeds, I can now easily take at posted speeds, and perhaps higher speeds under the right situations.

hotbug1776

I'd like to have some shirts for the meet, lets get this rolling. I'm down for a various amount depending on final price.

hotbug1776

Yep, the 3.6. I was shocked the first time I popped the hood. NO EXHAUST MANIFOLD!!!!I'll try to link up some pics tonight.

hotbug1776

Thanks, yes, a sedan. I was thinking about it though. 50 years have passed since the most popular Impala, the 62. While not as cool as a 62, the 12 has its own feel to it. It is a nice car. I am more into small cars, but, the wife and kids seem to be content in it.

hotbug1776

The wife was in need of a car in a bad way. We were looking for some time (I have posts on trying to be a 2 vibe family), with no luck on financing.Good Friday we FINALLY lucked out and were able to purchase a car.DRUMROLL PLEASE...A 2012 Chevrolet Impala!!!Base, but well equipped, V6 (same one as i...

Ok, Update.Progress rear bar is onAlutec pulley is onScangaugeE is hooked up and scanningAlternator isn't in due to needing to tighten the pulley, and the springs aren't on due to time restraints Easter weekend.Those two SHOULD be on by the Erie meet... I hope.

hotbug1776

Come on over to Erie. I'm sure we'll get back to Indy again, but, the wheels are in motion for Erie this year. Hotels and location are booked and I've begun work on meet souvineers. You'll have a great time. It's always an adventure on a road trip.

hotbug1776

It comes with 3m two sided tape as well as suction cups. For those who hate things suctioned onto glass. Lol

hotbug1776

Give this a looksee. http://www.formotionproducts.com/autocompass.htm

hotbug1776

Well, I have the I, but, haven't gotten around to the H or E yet. On my list, just, not in the budget this week. Lol

hotbug1776

Any benefits with this for us base 1zz people? Could I tune in some more powah!?!? Or maybe just enough to make a difference going up hill?

hotbug1776

I'd send you my badges, but, I'm skeered to take them off. Although, somehow my front badge is missing some of the red in the arrow. May need a new one. Still skeered though. That and my rear arrow is now pink!!! Two new badges!!! This may work out better than I thought. Pricing badges now. Lol

hotbug1776

So is riding around on a partially emptied gasoline tank, but, it's common practice. LolI wouldn't begin to suggest using a large tank, that could be bad. Just enough for testing purposes. In fact, not even on the road. A side by side test of fuel consumption at off idle or idle conditions. Just to ...

They sell hydrogen in tanks, I don't know in what sizes, but, to test the HHO theory before committing to a generator, a tank system feeding through a bubbler into the motor as a generator would may help in determining if the hydrogen is giving you good results. You would also, with enough supply, b...

Ok, how about this then. Friday night, we meet at BW3 (aka buffalo wild wings), and Saturday afternoon, we have an afternoon meal at Quaker Steak & Lube. I can set up reservations at both in advance and make sure there will be enough seating for 20-30 guests. Again, please pm me if you are atten...

hotbug1776

That's where it gets tricky to me. Have enough seating for the 20 or so, and have food everyone will eat. LolI know Quaker Steak can do it. BW3 can do it. I'll check around a few other places.

hotbug1776

Well then, I guess we can choose which restaurant we want to go to, or, I can surprise everyone. I was thinking five guys burgers and fries, as it's a classic burger joint, no frills, just burgers. Or the old standbys, Quaker steak and lube, buffalo wild wings, or one of the other theme restaurants....

hotbug1776

If its going to be trouble, 224 runs all the way to I-71, then I-271 runs to I-90, which ends up in Erie. Or, Ohio route 2 from East Toledo is 4 lanes at 60-65 mph running just north of the turnpike until Cleveland where you catch 90 again. I80 in Ohio usually runs smooth and open, and it also split...

hotbug1776

Hey all,Just an update. I'm thinking of having something on the grill like burgers and dogs with small bags of chips, or byomar (bring your own meal and refreshments). My wife suggests we all just go in the afternoon and mob a restaurant as part of the scenic drive. I like the restaurant idea, as I ...

Infinity kappa perfect 12dvq can run in a box .75ft3 sealed. Essentially the box can be smaller than the sub itself. Lol. It also handles something like 1600 watts. It's a big SOB so it may be too much for what you are planning. Research accordingly.

hotbug1776

Just be safe. Sleep in well lit areas like rest stops. There will be cake when you get here.

hotbug1776

I'm liking that too. We have around 6 car audio places here, so, any last minute needs shouldn't be an issue.

hotbug1776

I'd wear 4 on a shirt AND put it on my car as well.

Went to change my O2 sensor (6 codes all pointing at the O2 sensor). Got the strut bar off, the 4 bolts for the heat shield, went to unplug the pigtail, and found it laying next to the plug. Needless to say, plugged it back in until it clicked, put the bolts and bar back on, cleared the codes, and w...

I try to drive nothing but manual shift anything. My push mower has a clutch. (removed).

hotbug1776

Hmmmm. Not too bad. Let's get a poll going to decide. I may just have to go for more than 6!!! LolHow often do you find ANY Pontiac shirts that aren't firebirds or GTO designs?

hotbug1776

I wonder if a type 1 VW horn would work. Talk about a distinctive sound!! Although not nearly loud enough by today's standards. I may have to get some new, louder horns.

hotbug1776

Any size? I'd be down for like 6 in different sizes once we got the details all worked out. I'd like to see the design before I commit though. Might I suggest the Pontiac logo and vibe combined. Maybe a Toyota logo hidden in it somewhere for good measure.

hotbug1776

Sweet deal!!! It was even easier than you thought when you posted the idea on Facebook. No drilling!!! LolNext up, you should try to figure out sequential blinkers. Now THAT would be something.

hotbug1776

When idle stop start systems become aftermarket add on systems, then we'll get closer to that 50 mpg average. Not until then though.

hotbug1776

any pics yet?

It's like a mercury switch. My sunfire has one on the trunk. Door closed, liquid pools away from the contacts, lift and it pools on the contacts, light on.
