Very encouraging… Makes me even less apprehensive about getting a turbo kit for the Vibe. Not that I’d shoot for 12’s, but 13’s would be fun. Hell I was starting to think I should have waited and gotten a Mazdaspeed 3 instead of the Vibe, but this news makes me feel a little better.

Haha sweet... That'd be awsome to have such a sleeper!

It's a program you can download... enter a cars specs and it calculates it's performance, not just straight line performance, it'll run your car on various tracks too. You can set up drag races, and head to head races on a road course. It’s only as accurate as the info you enter though, but so far...

Dang my gustimate wasn't far off as far as what the curves would look like... I used "CarTest", entered your cars specs, estimated what your mods & tune would have done and wham, slmost right on! Car test said your car would run 13.9 @ 98.02mph too I know you've run better, I just thou...

If you dyno’d you’d be able to see if you need to tune your set-up, or if it’s just your auto trans holding you back. You could see what your torque curve is doing, for instance tapering off in the mid/high rpm range… Then focus on either getting more mods to free things up, or maybe your tq...

If they already know a design sells... it's less risky, I understand... but it'd be nice to see some genuine creativity. That and the whole "unique styling" comment laughable…

Quote, originally posted by northvibe »I think SC stock vibes were in the low 15s..so with some nice mods you could make 14's.Ok that sounds promising... I’m debating on whether or not to spend money on stage-3 for the SRT-4, or get the TRD blower for the Vibe, and a few other goodies. I canâ...

Suzuki SX4You guys do agree though that the front clip has some vibeness to it right? I highlighted the areas I thought they copied off the vibe... Most of the nose, the roof rack style, the type of door handles, and something they shouldn't have copied... the location of the antenna.

I was wondering what the fastest E.T. was on a Vibe with mods... I looked around in the time slip thread but there was took much talking and not enough slips.Anyone in the mid/low 14's range?

"Chrystler admitted they took lines from the vibe to make the Caliber. The Suzuki does look like a Vibe in more ways than the Caliber (and that is one nasty photochop)."lol I know... I used that a while ago on the SRTforums to mess w/ some of my friends, it was meant to look like crap

I don't like it from the side at all... But the front is nice

Is it just me or are a lot of other companies starting to emulate the Vibe just a tad? I mean the Dodge caliber always reminded me of a vibe with an ugly Durango front clip, but now Suzuki is coming out with a "SX4" which at least from the front and back is all but a carbon copy of the Vib...

I'd have to go all the way and get me an SRT-8 Magnum Fast, and functional... but yeah, out of my reach

Lol yeah I have a few simple mods on it already and at least for now it’s fast enough… would have get some wider wheels or something if I’d do any more. 1st gear is almost useless as it is… it even has traction issues from a 2nd gear roll at times. I threw on some BFG KDW’s up front on Thu...

I’ll get pics as soon as I can. Yeah but I don’t know which way to go… My wife and I had our hearts set on the GM (TRD) supercharger but at this point it looks like it won’t work on ‘05’s. I don’t want to mess with anything that will void the warranty so if the supercharger is out of t...

Picked it up last night, it’s so much nicer than my Neon… feels very solid. I’m just taking it easy for now, trying to break it in right. I’ll keep the revs under 4k for the first 1000 miles, but give it short bursts of full throttle and then allow the rpms to fall back down in order to seat...

Thanks everyone, you've all helped ease my mind I'll be picking up my Vibe tonight can't wait! I saw an older model Vibe in a parking lot last night and checked out the hood and didn't see anything other than a lot of bug guts so the paint thing must not be as big of a problem as I thought. Now I ju...

I’m new to the Vibe scene (I’m trading my neon in for a Vibe tonight actually) but I was thinking about this ’05 supercharger problem for a few days now… I saw someone post that the main problem is the drive by wire throttle body, and the new ECU. Also saw someone post about a DBW corolla ge...
