I like it. According to Autoweek, a V-series variant is likely but there is no definite timeline for its release.

Nervous_Dog

Well, you said 1-series. The 128i is also a 1-series BMW and I wouldn't really call it totally different just because it has less horsepower.BTW, the price difference is $6,300 between the 128i and the 135i. The difference between the 328i and the 335i is $6,500.

Nervous_Dog

According to BMW's website, the 1-series starts at $28,600. I thought that was reasonable, considering the engine and suspension come from the 3-series.The 135i starts at $34,900, but did you really expect to get a twin-turbo BMW that's quicker then the last generation M3 for under 30 grand?

I have the same winter tires on my GT. I bought them from Tire Rack and had them installed at Discount Tire. It cost about $10 per tire to get them mounted. Even with mounting and shipping, I saved close to $40 PER TIRE over what stores wanted locally for snow tires.When they were mounting them, the...

Only 440 HP? They haven't much done to that engine I guess. Probably why the price is so cheap. I've seen quite a few Supra's throwing down over 1000HP on the stock 2JZ block.

Durr! You're right Millster. Thanks for correcting that.

Blitz makes a 2zz supercharger. On the upside, it performs well and looks great with the front-mount intercooler. On the downside, it costs over $6000 + installation.Blitz supercharger Magazine article about the Blitz superchargerRob

Your eyes will feel like that for a couple days. Make sure you rest over the weekend. I had medicated drops I had to put in my eyes, if you have those make sure you take them and you'll heal quick. The end results will be worth it. I think Lasik surgery was the best thing I ever got.

Nervous_Dog

My wife I cut the cord 3 years ago. The only people who ever called the landline were telemarketers. All of our friends and family called our cell phones anyway since they knew it was the easiest way to reach us.

The bolts are 12mm, but I can't find the thread info anywhere.

Nice job. The body color badges look great.

I had Lasik done about 3.5 years ago. It was worth every penny. It came out great and I haven't needed glasses or contacts again. I took 2 days off work to rest afterwards. My eyes felt like they were really dry and scratchy for the first couple of days, but that feeling goes away as they heal. I ha...

Nervous_Dog

I also vote for jealousy. I own an '04 GTO and an '03 Vibe GT and I bought them both because they were Pontiacs, since we can't buy Holden's over here and I don't get employee discounts on Toyota. I also like Pontiac styling.

Welcome. I was also a member of Jbody. I had a 2000 Sunfire GT that I traded in on a Vibe GT.

Nervous_Dog

I'm thinking about replacing the Vibe with a Saab 9-2X Aero. Turbo AWD for under $20k is a great deal.If money were no object I would go for a Mercedes G500.

Nervous_Dog

Good luck. I was going to have my clutch done there and made an appointment to drop my car off at 12:30pm. I ended up being able to get there about 1 hour early and no one was there. I had to get back to work so I couldn't wait around and I couldn't come back since I had used my lunch hour to get th...

Congrats on the GTO. Your Vibe looks great too. I was seriously considering going turbo with my GT. I finally decided to just put that money into a faster car.

I love my GTO. It's a really nice car, inside and out. Fit & finish on the interior is just amazing. Plenty of power. There's a huge aftermarket for GTO's also. When my father-in-law drove the Charger R/T Hemi he said there was no way to disable the traction control like there is in the GTO (but...

Just swap the rims between the cars in the middle of the night. If she says anything in the morning just mutter something like "lousy teenage pranksters" and tell her you'll switch them back when you have some free time.

Nervous_Dog

I got my Tenzo's off ebay from a Tuner shop in Arizona. But if you are near a Discount Tire they could order them. Discount doesn't stock them but they can get nearly any rims out there. I ordered my Team Dynamics rims (imported from England) through DT and got them in a week.

The Blitz supercharger has been discussed before. It's more expensive then a custom turbo setup. It was released in Japan a few years ago but Blitz N.A. still hasn't brought it over. A couple of guys on one of the Celica boards have it and they paid ~$7000 for the Blitz Japan version, plus installat...

Yesterday I saw a Smart fortwo Cabriolet on 696 near Gratiot. It had Canadian plates on it. I wish I had my camera with me. It looked just like the pic below that I got from their website. It was so small I could probably fit 4 in my garage LOL.

Dealerships get paid a set amount for warranty work. If the GM repair manual says it takes 8 hours to replace a head gasket, the dealership gets reimbursed for 8 hours from GM, whether it takes them 6 hours or 2 weeks. So it might actually be costing the dealership money to keep your car this long.

Nervous_Dog

That is sweet Merz! I wish I could have been there. My wife likes El Caminos and would love to have a Ute. I hope they bring it over here. Not to bust your chops, but the 5.7 liter isn't a Hemi. Hemi is a Chrysler thing. The 5.7 liter is GM's LS1 small block V8, same as in the 2004 GTO, SSR, and Cor...

Thanks. I'll have to check some local distributors and see if anyone is willing to deal. Mostly I've been looking on the 'net and not finding much.

I cruised around Gratiot in Roseville and spotted a Neptune Vibe. It was lowered with gunmetal wheels and dual exhaust.

The hitch should fit both. What brand is it? You can search for the Vibe and Matrix on etrailer.com and see if they both use the same part number.

I haven't ordered from them but I imagine it would take a few weeks for things to get here from New Zealand. If you are really worried get a phone card and call them.

Nervous_Dog

I think if they do make a Redline version of the Sky it will be supercharged rather then turbocharged. GM already has a S/C version on the Ecotec in the Cobalt SS and Ion Redline. I also think it will be longer then 6 months but I hope I'm wrong

Nervous_Dog

I hope they release an SRT version of that. Vibe functionality coupled with SRT-4 power would kick (removed)!

JDM isn't a brand per se. It stands for Japanese Domestic Market, which is an industry buzzword right now.
