if you want more info join newtiburon.com they will help ya out with anything you need.
good luck with the tib|||I would run with the SE. better gas potential with 6 gears|||I can not say for sure about the newer ones but I have a 2003 and in that year the six speed got the worse gas millage of all the other transmissions. (that included the auto transmission) The Auto was also faster that the six speed. Now if you want to sound cool and like to shift I would go with the six speed transmission. Whatever you chose, enjoy the car as I really enjoy mine.|||neither.
08 chevy malibu
08 pontiac solsitce/saturn sky|||I am into performance, so I would go with the SE.
It has a 6 speed manual transmission instead of 5 speed.
It also accelerates faster.
0-60mph in 7.2 seconds for the GT SE and 7.6 seconds for the GT Limited.

What are my chances of being found not guilty for failing to stop when the car wasnt mine and had bad brakes?
My car was in the process of being repaired when my friend A dropped off her car at my work location so that i may borrow her car so that my co-worker B and I have a ride home. I was pulled over about 5 miles from my work location when as i gradually pushed on the brakes since it didnt have ABS (anti-lock brake system). before i knew it i had past the stop sign. lucky for all of us there was no cars coming but a chp passing. he saw and immidiately made a U-turn and gave me the ticket. I didnt argue the fact that i passed the stop sign but i would like to know if i have a chance in winning this since i had little time to realize how bad were the brakes. Prior to that road i was pulled over i was approximately driving below 40mph. I will never borrow an old car!!|||maybe but I have to ask this. In the five miles from your job to the stop sign didn't you use the breaks at all?*|||pretty low percentage.. maybe 10 percent, and that is better than what I wanted to say, at 0%..|||No chance. You were the driver and it is your responsibility to know what you are driving and to stop in time. ABS wouldn't even play into it.
Another factor is that you chose to drive this car. You had other options. Another friend, a rental car, public trans, etc. You weren't forced as no one can force you to drive a particular car. Once you get behind the wheel, it is all yours.|||I agree with the others. You drove that car for 5 miles. Unlikley that you had to used the brakes. Your chances of being found not guilty are very slim at best.|||The law simply states a full and complete stop. It doesn't mention bad brakes or bad drivers. But go ahead and waste the judges time, it will amuse him.|||Judge won't buy that you did not use the brakes once in 5 miles.
Sure you could pay to have the brakes checked and all of that. But it would still come down to the fact that you did not stop..... and you were in charge of the vehicle.
It would probably be best to just pay the ticket and get it over with.

Jeep Cherokee 1989 ABS?
Is there a way to disable, disconnect, unplug, or remove the Anti-Lock Brake System for a Jeep Cherokee 1989 4WD 4.0L V6 4-Door?|||ABS makes a chattering or hammering noise when activated. If your brakes lock up without chattering, there's no ABS.|||you can totally remove the entire system from it and you,ll go back to standard brakes,i have done that before for a customer that hated having anti lock brakes,you have to remove every part of it though and change the lines around also,but they will work fine like that,that's what a lot of people are doing when they cant get the anti lock system to work right is have it removed,you still have power brakes just minus the anti lock feature,you also have to remove the anti lock brake light bulb from the dash or it will stay on until the bulb burns out,but its perfectly safe to do this if that's what you want to do,i have done this numerous times and have had no problems from doing it,good luck|||4.0 is an inline 6 or I6 not a V6
anyway, an easy way to tell if it is working. get up to a decent speed, 30 or 40 should be plenty enough..and lock em up, if the tires actually lock up and skid, chances are it is not working properly. ABS prevents locking up the tires so you can still steer the vehicle from danger if need be.

Jeep Cherokee 1989 ABS?
Is there a way to disable, disconnect, unplug, or remove the Anti-Lock Brake System for a Jeep Cherokee 1989 4WD 4.0L V6 4-Door?|||I believe there is a relay and a "brain", basically an ecu for the system under the hood for the ABS and if you remove them, I'm pretty sure it disables the system, as well as the dash light. Just don't ever mention to your insurance company that you did, you usually get discounts for abs and things like that!|||IMPORTANT...To answer your question, yes, you can go to a junk yard with similar year and pull the master cylinder and piping. Exchange components as you are there.
HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not kidding, you have a LIFETIME warranty on the ABS pump and master cylinder!!!!!!!!!!! Have 1990 and Jeep has replaced it three times..FOC!!! Go to the jeep dealer!!!!
One more point, if you completely disable your ABS, the pump will not work and you have NO POWER Brake assist.
This is not like some later systems.|||In order to disable the Anti-Lock Brake you need to simply pull the relay.|||Pull the relay.

Brakes, Calipers and Rotor "Problem" for 2001 Z24 Cavalier?
My car has had a strange low "wooing" sound since October 2007. I've been to three different places with three different opinions:
(1) need a new wheel barring (replaced and paid $300.. noise is still there)
(2) need four new tires -- the noise is "tire noise"
(3) Anti-lock Brake System needs major repair
We definitely need new brakes, but apparently the noise is a result of the rotors and something being completely destroyed.
We were told that the car doesn't have any front brakes and is extremely dangerous to drive right now. It is stopping with the rear brakes. Obviously it's not safe to drive without brakes, but if this is the true problem, we have been driving the car for 2 1/2 months. I'm freaking out because I just had a baby 10 days ago and don't want to take any risks.
We were quoted a minimum of $500.
How legit does this sound? Has anyone had this problem before? Advice?|||I would rule out the anti-lock problem unless the anti-lock brake light on the dash is on and I have still never heard an anti-lock brake system make any noises like that, are you sure they replaced the right wheel bearing?, the other side could have been bad all along and finally if you need new brake pads I would get them put on and 2 new rotors as those rotors are really cheap to buy at the parts store, like $18 each.|||The front brake pads have little metal peaces that will rub against the brake rotors when the pads wear down. since you have had the same brake pads on the car for SIX YEARS than this tells me that you are in Dyer need of a brake job. I would have new front rotors and pads installed and new rear drums and pads installed. If your tires where making this noise than they would be bald they would have no tread on them at all. If the well bearing was bad than you would only hear it on one side. Also when the mechanic that "fixed" the wheel bearing was working on your car he should have examined the brakes any ways and told you what the car needed.|||well alright i had a situation were the peice of the metal that held the brake pad in place stuck out and made a loud sound when ever i moved my car it was very noticeable and it was just a little peice of metal that i took off it sounds like thats what it is|||that wooing noise maybe a roaring sound? , to me could sound like a wheel bearing,i guess he thought so too,its just strange that you need to remove the brakes to change the wheel bearing and he said nothing about them, if they were that bad it should have been obvious,how does the car stop? if you are only stopping on your back brakes it is going to take longer to stop, enough to where you should notice a difference. take it somewhere else get a second opinion, something does not sound right|||Revisit that "fixed" hub bearing,cause it sounds like your mech. may have put on a used bearing. As far as the brakes,you will definitely need new pads and rotors,and before anyone does the job,find a reputable service center to do a thorough check,including the wheel bearing assemblies.
Now,even though $500.00 sounds steep,as long as a reputable shop does the job,then safety and quality will not be an issue.
