GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Well, thanks to V, you guys are having one. The closest ones from me so far are in VA beach or This one. So I am taking my pic and going with it.

I will supply all that you will need for the bypass for free (but donations are appreciated the pack is $8 for 2 connectors) but if anyone wants to bring a pair of pliers that would be awesome, I only have 2 that means we could only do one car at a time.

Sorry To Be Late In This But What Of ByPass You Are TalkINg About...?

the throttle body bypassQuote, originally posted by BlueCrush »Cold: It prevents the hot coolant from circulating through the TB. This will help to keep intkae temps down so your engine creates more power. Not much just a few HP. But you will notice the slight difference. The coolant running through the TB is mainly for cold climates, supposedly to prevent any frost from building up in the TB but I, and may others, have done it with nice results and not problems with frost in the winter, whatsoever!

Thats only if you have a Intake Installed Right?? I Have My factory On Mine (Runs Jus Fine To ME)... SEE THE PIC I GOT ON HERE

nope, this can be done to any relatively new vehicle, this has to do with the throttle body, in the older vibes, I've been told it's on the back of the TB, but what you're looking for is and inlet and outlet in the TB. you know where the intake leads to. I haven't been under the hood of an older Vibe, so I don't really know where it is...

yeah i guess you`ll have to show me... ...my car is one of the very first vibes made with hardy no options so you will notice that there are alot of open spots under my hood Like No Abs No Power Options Like (windows locks or sunroof).....the option i could get for my vibe in 2002 was a cd player...lol...an it has been changed by the dealer over 4 times....

If you let me know what the part is, I can order some to bring too... kind of my "donation" to the meet. And I will definately bring my tools.... I always do.

Remind me towards the date and i will bring a couple pairs of pliers as well

ok, so far I have three of the connectors, and the box say:800-011 Quick Disconnect3/8"Union for Nylon fuel line and I;ll try and remind everybody to bring the pliers

haha well alot of it has to do with Anna wanting to see a beach & I'm getting alot of help, too I wanted to go to the South Central Rally last year but things just didn't work out. So far everything is going great for this one. The drive is the only downside but I think we'll have some nice scenery most of the way. We need a short vacation anyway haha

Hey Hey Now My 20 Minute Drive Will Be Long And Grueling Too....Ha Ha I Gotta Leave The City...lol *jus Joking* its so good to see everyone coming...im very excited

We need a short vacation anyway haha Now that i realize where you live, and considering i have at least a 3- 3 and a half hour drive (if traffic is smooth) it sounds like a fun drive, Hope you have cruise control Knowing me, i will probably leave for St Aug. super early on the 17th

Cruise Control A bunch of my friends have been suggesting leaving Thursday night that way the traffic won't be so bad so that's probly what we'll do. I guess we'll get to see the sights on the way back

Hi all, I will be making up some window cards for the Meet. It will identify each car so everyone will know about it. If you are coming please email me the following info: (1) Year, Make and Model, (2) Color, (3) Owner/Driver (4) Your city and state. There will be room on the card to add options, mods and other special features. The cards will help when voting and aid in appreciating your vehicle's assets. Send info to david@landscapesartstudio.com

I emailed my information in and i have to say that i am so very excited this meet (its my first one) and i know that it will be great ...but until then i got some waxing to do...lol..

Oh i almost forgot to tell you guys i drove to atlanta an got a ticket because my headlight was out and didnt even know it (left side)..and my right fog light was out ..i was in pure shock because i changed my lights at like 50,000 and now its only at 81,000 and im changing them again they are not cheap (when your on a budget)..lol total whole bill was $102.73..ticket and lights

Viva,Could we see a sample window card?Tronic,I think this is a first for most of us

yeah i actually would like to see one too but ill be happy as long as it has my name on it..

All righty then, I just got the prizes for Favorite Peer Voted Vibe/Matrix and Best in Show... So get your information in to VivaVibe for better judging at the meet!!

I am so amazed at how big this is getting. The Northerners better watch out or the "Florida Meet" will be on the home page and knock off the "Ohio meet" and "Michigan Rally"Go SOUTH!!!!

just so everyone knows, i am trying to get fellow Vibe / Matrix owners at work interested in this as well, being the fact i seem to be the only active "genviber" in Palm Beach and Martin County. We will see how this goes.....

just a copy and paste of a post from mo.com from meQuote, originally posted by Domino's Chris,Jan 31 2007, 04:43 PM »haha; if you want, i can bring some tools, wire, and miniswitches, and i can do DRL disables if people would want....just ask around for me before the meet so i know how much stuff to bring...i could usually use a miniswitch or two, but if i have like 6 leftover, i'd probly lose them before i used emjust a thought....any other easy, car specific mods out there? perhaps that thing for the 05+ for the CAI's so people dont throw codes...i dunno besides the DRL snip and the coolant bypass....i could do some LED cupholder lights....or something....i dunno, give me suggestions

Does that DRL bypass also kill the autosensor for the headlights at night as well???

T-Minus 10 days and counting

Welcome to the darkside Chris

hmm, 170 miles away, 2.3 - 3 hour drive. If my parents dont think its a complete waste of time and gas money, and i can get off work, i think i may have to come up there for this.

Yeah i dont think anyone should miss this event...so hopefully you can come "JesseWHHS".....cause it should be something we all talk about years from now...

(and if you want LED's do you want a switch and what kind?)any other lil mods?

I'll go for some cupholder LEDs in RED I'd like a switch but I'm not sure what kind I'd want...

[QUOTE=]I do need to know what i need to get, so who wants LED's, who wants DRL cuts? (and if you want LED's do you want a switch and what kind?)any other lil mods?[/QUOTE]can i opt for both??On the LED's I Would like to do the redlet me know if you need wiring or connectors, I will see what i can do to help with the materials costs...

do we need to list what everyone is bringing (i.e. tools, parts for installs or whatever)?So far I think all we'll need is pliers (TB bypass) & whatever is required for LEDs.

i can bring wrenches and stuff if needed; pliers i dont have really cause people be jackin them at shop...i need to go pick up LED's, switches, and maybe some splice connectsother than that, im probably just going to have some screwdrivers, the drill, the bits, a 10mm boltdriver, some wire, crimps, a crimper, a stripper, splice connects, tape (electrical and duct) switches, and LED's. contemplating throwing in a lil' multimeter and a testlight too. if someone else want to bring sockets though, i't'd probably be for the best because my collection is rather extensive and lives in my box at schoola quick note on the LED's...if you want a switch for them, it can be done, but i've been running on with the console power (i.e. ignition switched) for over a year now with no switches and problems at alli'll make myself a cheat sheet on the DRL cut, it's been a while since i've cut my own and i cant remember which wire it is...as far as the LED's, i can decipher what's what real quickanything else im forgeting?

I have a small socket set and lots of screwdrivers. nm the switch if it's too much trouble I just don't want them to be too bright.

switch isnt much trouble; and the LED's arent that bright...enough to light up a bottle if you've got one in there though.i can do my best to find a switch that fits in the coin holder in the center console, or we can just drill for one and hide it...if you'd want anything special, like a battleswitch or a light up one, i might have to charge a lil since the cost is kinda high on them...silverhawk, did you want a switch to the DRL cut or did you just want to snip the wire?so i got two sets of red LED's and one DRL cut? is that going to be all, or are there any other people that want anything?

I'd rather have a flatish switch instead of one of those silver toggle switches.
