Re: Check out this snowthrower! (MiVibe-ToolGuy)

Yeah, LS1 would be much better. Roughly the same power and a lot lighter, and easier on fuel. Just not the one from my GTO!

Re: (Faultline)

Garrets are easy to rebuild, 150 bucks for the kit and I have done two of those. Mitsubishis on the other hand are much harder. My guess form the garrets Ive rebuilt is your dumping oil into the intake side. Pull the intake boot and check for side- to-side play on the shaft.

My GTO has an immobilizer in the ignition, you have to keep one of the keys in the car in a box and have an immobilizer unit.

Re: (northvibe)

The vibe already comes in AWD, so just expand on the stock rear drive shaft and do a RWD conversion. Then stuff an LS1 in it. With a stock LS1 it would be in the 12's in the quarter, and with some basic upgrades you would easily break into the 11's.
