I'm a realist....

Would really love a 1981-85 mazda rx7 with a bridge or street ported 13b/20b twin turbo and a mariah body kit.



Hell. Right now I would be happy having a stock 12a powered rx7 again.

Not doing too well yet. But I drive with a real heavy foot.

Sorry. They are actually purple. Lol. Going to try getting a better picture.

As prommised to j_to_envy, pics of the overlay. (not the best pics, though) Front (had to cut the star out myself, for some reason it was only cut out on the top layer) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu236/03PTCruiserGT/2012-09-09093007.jpg Rear (ignore the reflection of the ugly guy taking the ...

Thanks. Looks great!

My 09 just rolled 61k a few days ago.

Got no summer vacation this year, but snuck out earlier during spring break and went to northern florida (little town called Old town, not to be confused with old town, kissimmee, fl near orlando.) Rented a cabin, a small jon boat, packed the dogs in the prius and off w went for a week away. What we...

Awesome work! I wish I had 1/4 the skill you have. If you have time, think you might be able to do something with this? Already have 2"drop on it's way and purple overlay for the front and rear emblem and toying with the idea of purple ground effect neons and lights in the grill. As far as back...

J_to_Envy. I'll post pics soon as they are on. So far I have the overlay and a set of ~2" drop springs on the way. Since I promised not to start modding the engine, I may just go for looks. Have been tossing around the idea of powdercoating the rims to match the color of the overlay, Thinking o...

Well. Decided to put tinting on the back burner. Got a overlay on the way for the pontiac arrow head, and depending on how the color turns out, may go a bit further and powdercoat the rims the same color. Oh, also want to do a nice 2"drop, but the most I can find is a 1.5" drop. Still no l...

Ok. The point of this thread was just to share my old car, which I would still miss even if I would have bought another pt. Did I ever say I don't like my vibe? No. On the contrary, I said "As much as I like the vibe, I miss my old pt" I actually enjoy it a lot, and yes, it is still slower...

How long before you get a turbo or SC for the Vibe?

Got to wait a while. 1. No funds, 2. My partner would kill me. (didn't quite get what the mod bug is)

The last thing I ended up doing to her was new tail lights and backup lights. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu236/03PTCruiserGT/2012-04-20bluePT.jpg Yup threw her on the dyno. When all was said and done I had her at 227hp and 281tq at the wheels and could have probably pulled a good bit more wi...

Well. as much as I like the vibe, I miss my pt cruiser. Thought I'd share a little of what was done to it. Show off a few pics and just think back on the good times I had with my PT. She was a 2003 pt cruiser gt with the same 2.4l turbo motor that is in the srt4. Bought her over 4 years ago with ~45...

My thoughts as well. I could even deal with the toyota beep.

My pt used to honk the horn at half volume at lock. Oh well. At least I know nothing is wrong.

2009 base 2.4l 5-speed. When I lock, or unlock the vehicle, should there be a honk or beep? This is the first car with keyless/factory alarm that locks silently. All I get are the parking lights flashing. Just curious if this is the way it was designed or if someone disabled the audible lock/unlock ...

Yeah, well, going to be tinting the windows as soon as my diablosport sells.

Stupid question, but would 5x114.5 fit the vibe? Means I could get the srt rims I really wanted (caliber srt4 19")

Good to know. I feel like an idiot now. Lol. While they were powering the car and I saw the curb rash on the rims I just did a quick search and came up with the 5x100... Reading/researching >than me. Ooops.

Honestly have been trying to be naive about my car just to keep me from wanting to mod it.

Can't speak for the vibe, but on my pt I had the in chanel visors and after almost a year the front driver side decided to snap in half on the highway and go tumbling down the street. This was just out of the blue one day when I rolled the window up. This happened twice to me as well as another PTer...

Hope to have the time, and money, to get the windows tinted soon. Great first "mod" for sure! Do you have any other plans for it? Well, I'm kind of wishing I would have kept my srt4 rims. Think they may have looked decent. No real plans for it since I haven't seen too many mods available ...

Thanks for the compliments and welcomes.

Hope to have the time, and money, to get the windows tinted soon.

Thanks for the welcome.

As far as mpg, I'd be happy with 25 considering I was getting 12-15mpg HWY! Highest I got in the last year was 16mpg hwy. Lol.

Oh, and that's with Premium required. Does the vibe require premium?

Good to know. The dealer had no clue on the engine and I just assumed it was a base. Now I just wish I could easily double the HP for cheap. lol.

Well, as of Thursday evening, I am the proud new owner of a 2009 with the 5 speed transmission (not too sure on what I actually have) but i'm guessing it's a base 1.8l. A lot of fun to drive, though I still miss my old car that I traded in... Just moved from a 2003 PT Cruiser GT (2.4l turbo) with a ...
