Pay It Forward Genvibe Style

Ever hear of "Pay It Forward"?Quote, originally posted by Trevor Â»Trevor, the 12-year-old hero of Pay It Forward, thinks of quite an idea. He describes it to his mother and teacher this way: "You see, I do something real good for three people. And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward. To three more people. Each. So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven." He turned on the calculator, punched in a few numbers. "Then it sort of spreads out, see. To eighty-one. Then two hundred forty-three. Then seven hundred twenty-nine. Then two thousand, one hundred eighty-seven. See how big it gets?"I have to be honest and tell you that i never read the book or saw the movie. I just think that it is a great idea and i thought we could give it a try here on GenVibe.I dont have anything fancy to give away but i do have a center console (driver armest, etc.) and it has a cig-lighter in it. Now if i remember correctly i read that the '05s (?) have the hole but not the plug.I also have a spare glove box but it may be scratched, i'll take a look later.UPDATE: The cig-lighter has been given away to ShadowRuleZ.UPDATE: The console and the glove box has been given away to Ponyota.I'm giving it away to anyone that wants it, i'll even pay shipping (within reason.. i cant affort to ship it across the world.. ) All you have to do is ask me and try to keep the spirit of Pay It Forward alive, either here on GenVibe or somewhere else. // Magnus -- Doing my part to make the world a better place.mods: Thanks for moving it to the correct forumedit: updated the fact that the cig lighter is taken.

Saw the movie and liked it. I also saw this on another auto site months ago, worked well. Pay It Forward, I believe in it...

Have and love the movie! Like the idea a lot too. I have a stock RSB, stock springs, stock M&T stereo and amp, stock speakers, and an extra VVTI engine cover(needs to be cleaned up of some paint, but otherwise in good condition) if anyone wants them. You pay the shipping, that's it, and they're yours.

I'm intrested in the VVTI engine cover.... I've got a back cargo cover if anyone is intrested - pay shipping and it's yours.

Lemme make sure I got this right...the "spirit" here is Vibe parts at no cost (except maybe shipping) under the guarantee that the receiver does the same?If that's the idea of it, then this is an interesting concept...and sounds promising!I'll raid my Vibe stash tonight, I KNOW I got tons of stuff I can offer up...** ragingfish goes to blockbuster online and adds movie "pay it forward" to his queue**

that movie's such a tear jerker.I do like Jane Siberry's version of Calling all angels at the end better than the Train version that got so much radio airtime

I'm gonna see what I have, probably not much but I'll check. Most of my car stuff is still @ my parent's house.

Update: Engine cover is gone to a new life with bud_one. Still have everything else. Will have more after tomorrow! Getting some new Top-Secret stuff for a really good price!

Raivis · Post by **Raivis** » Fri May 13, 2005 10:01 pm

They work fine. Just plug in your harness' and play away!I'll have to look for them. Haven't seen them in a while but they're around here somewhere.

Getting some new Top-Secret stuff for a really good price! I Can now divulge my Top-Secret parts as I now have them in my possession and no big-$$ guys like SCVibe or BlueCrush can steal them from me! I got a full Stage 1 Hotchkis set for $300!!! Brand new, still in the original shipping packages! A guy posted them on Craig's List in my area and I just happened to stumble across them one day. He wanted $500, so I emailed him and told him I would hand him $300. He said sure, but I had to wait until I got paid, so I didn't want to let anyone in on my little secret until I had it so no one could outbid me and get it. He said his roommate had bought it for his car, but then sold his car and moved out nd left the parts behind, so he just wanted to get rid of them and get some extra cash! I'm still trying to decide what to do with it. I was considering pulling everything I currently have on the car and putting it on, but I know it won't be as low any more. Plus I would have to pay for installation or wait for another MO meet down here. Anyways, that's the big secret. I'll keep you guys informed on what I end up doing.

What does the full Stage 1 Hotchkis set include?

LOL, Big-$$, hardly still saving up for my next mod (full tank of gas). But that Stage 1 kit sounds interesting....I was just poking at you for the Ebay SC! Yeah, this kit is sharp. Everything is there, Street Kit Springs, Strut Tower Bar with Camber Plates, and front and rear Street Kit Sway Bars. All brand new. As of right now one of the bump stops has gone missing, but that is the only thing I have found gone. It was opened but still in the original packaging. The STB alone is over $400! Couldn't complain, and the guy is looking to see if he can locate the Bump Stop somewhere in the Apt.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Sat May 14, 2005 6:57 am

Ha! Good one! Not necessarily big $$, just a good at getting deals andmaybe a little $. I wouldn't be going that far with my suspensionanyways. I will just be happy when I can get my dang springs on.Looks like you found a helluva deal. Congrats!

Ponyota · Post by **Ponyota** » Sat May 14, 2005 7:21 am

You got one hellofadeal Whats a bump stop? That thing on the struts?

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Sat May 14, 2005 7:48 am

Yeah, just a rubber ring. Nothing big, even though I could imagine Hotchkis would try to charge me an arm and a leg for it!

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Sat May 14, 2005 3:40 pm

BTW, I guess I was wrong. Technically it's a Stage 2 kit because the Stage 1 does not have the STB. That is the only difference.

PhillyVibeGT · Post by **PhillyVibeGT** » Mon May 16, 2005 11:08 pm

I have a bug deflector(hood) from Weathertech. If someone wants it they can have it just pay the shipping. IMHO it does zero for the car.

Raivis · Post by **Raivis** » Fri May 20, 2005 1:43 pm

ProVibe · Post by **ProVibe** » Mon May 23, 2005 11:29 pm

OK,Is there a specific size one must buy for the Vibe. I want to get some on eBay or at my local autoparts store, but I'm not sure if lugs are one size fits all in cars.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Mon May 23, 2005 11:50 pm

They should be 1.5" long x .75" diameter and the thread size should be M12x1.5.

These are shorter so they fit under the center cap.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...66691

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Tue May 24, 2005 1:42 am

For the first one, the size is correct but it only has 16 lug nuts and the Vibe requires 20.I wouldn't get the second ones. I would go with the regular length to make sure it holds the wheel on tight enough. You should be fine with regular length lugs using a center cap that covers them all.

The one with the Injen CAI is red if I remember correctly.Red should be fine since I'm getting a Salsa color Vibe. Which is still in transit to the dealer. First they said Thursday, from that it changed to Monday and now Wednesday. I'm getting realy upset.
