Thanks for the help and info. Depth is really the only restriction for that sub, as it can fit into as small as a .4ft3 box. What I may eventually do is make a box that attaches to the spare tire cover or back of the passenger rear seat. This would allow me to fold the seat down still when I need ex...

Given what you have done here, do you think an Infinity kappa perfect 12d vq, with a mounting depth pf 7", would fit into the subwoofer panel like you have mounted your 8"?

looking for the down pipe with both cats and resonator if possible. 1zz FWD. Out of state buyer.

hotbug1776

I'm interested as well, shipping to 16510 as well as price. I'm going to mount a 12" sub in a custom enclosure and just use the panel with some minor modifications.

hotbug1776

I'm interested in the subwoofer setup. Where are you located, and can we get some pictures.

hotbug1776

Any chance you have a 2zz throttle body and the cable bracket? If need be, I'll take the whole intake with throttle body assembly, even though I don't need the actual intake manifold.

Just one last call for those planning on attending. If you are in town Friday night and want to grab a bite to eat. Message me on Facebook or get ahold of me via text message at eight 1 four 566 three triple 2. I am not sure how many are actually coming, so plans may change for Saturday.

Okay, it's time for the final head count! I'm getting things ready for the scavenger hunt/road rally and need to know how many maps/lists to print out. This may be a pretty sweet meet this year, filled with adventure. I hope to see quite a few of you there.

Mark your calendars!!! Erie Genvibe mini meet will be August 29th. This year we will try a photo road rally! The rally will end at the car show held at First Alliance Church. I'm getting in contact with the organizer of the show and hope to get us a spot just for us. Here is the link for the show. h...

I will get with Corey and see if he can help me get something set up. I would love to have another meet Erie, as long as I have a little help.

So what is the current plan for Friday and Saturday, apart from dinner possibly on each night, and the cruise on the 20th? Go and see the museums, go to a park, or a movie some where (is there a drive in theater?)? I plan on getting some dinner Friday and crashing in my hotel room. Saturday, meetin...

Probably better to get something with a bigger engine, if you're going to be driving that fast. Why? Given that statement, 4cyl and diesel motors must not be sold in Europe. Your fuel consumption will increase as stated, but, you will still go farther than the minivans and bigger engined cars, as y...

I received a promotion at work. Gonna check tomorrow and see if I can get the time off for this weekend. If it is approved, I will be up for meeting in Erie, PA and following whomever out. I see you live at the east end of the devils highway (666). I've always wanted to drive that road, as I hear g...

I still plan on coming, I'm reserving a room at the super 8. The clutch is getting pretty weak, so no racing around for me. I also just picked up a nasty metal object in one of my summer tires. Which will need replaced as well. I'm on the emergency set of wheels for now. (steelies) So after the meet...

Checked at work and they won't give me the time off to go then. Oh well. I'm planning a trip to Mount Rushmore later in the year and will probably stop there and take some pics like in Vibenvy's signature. Seems like a neat place to stop. There may be another meet in Erie this year. I'm waiting for...

Ohioans, let me know if you want to caravan across Indiana and we will determine a meet point, most likely towards the western line of Ohio. Those east of Cleveland, I will be heading out of Erie, Pa around 6-7 am the 19th (Friday). I usually run 224 to 24, as it runs directly to Pontiac. It's mostl...

I'm almost 6'3" and the car is lowered over 2". Imagine that debacle. LOL

Alright Genvibers, this year things are going to change up a bit. Same location Pontiac, Illinois. June 20th or July 18th (most likely June 20th). Too bad we couldn't pull off what we did in 2010 in Indianapolis! 20+ Vibes showed up and it was a great (hot & humid) meet. I know it's tough organizin...

hotbug1776

I agree, with keeping things civil. We need to be very careful with the invitations and make sure that the groups coming won't be there simply to party. If they want to party, they can stay in the surrounding areas. Then again, I'm pretty sure by the time the event comes around, only the most seriou...

SO FAR SO GREAT !! These are the best tires I have ever had on my Vibe. Smoother ride and reduced road noise. Now for the winter traction test!! In continuing my crusade against the goodyear rsa tires, I will again insist the rsa's are the worst tires ever created and I am glad you upgraded. I will...

I would almost prefer lower and farther back. I do agree that the seating position takes some adjusting to get the right fit.

There is an interesting discussion going on in another group I'm a member of with regards to load performance and fuel economy. For those of you who regularly carry a few passengers or stuff how does the load affect (if any) performance? Does it seem to struggle up hills, or when accleratiing? Do y...

I would take the chance. Repair wouldn't break the deal for someone who is willing to put time and care into a car that is a proven quality machine.

yes rear diff leak, listen for any noises, replace the gasket and refill the rear diff oil ASAP if it's quiet still. gasket is/was prone to leakage, not sure if there were design changes to eliminate this.

As of today we are looking at a 40% chance of thunderstorms and 77 on Saturday. If the event is cancelled due to weather, we will take a point from the HCMO book and hang out at a restaurant or two, or have an impromptu cook out at the park. After all, bad weather changes things for car people, unle...

The road the hotel is on (route 832) leads right into the park, if that is any consolation. I have no problem meeting then cruising, getting lost in an unknown area is a pet peeve of mine. I'll post on Facebook and get reaction.

are we going to be meeting at the hotel and than head to beach 11 or just meet there? Cause I never been out there, don't know about anyone else.

I'll be staying in Dwight on Friday night, and Pontiac Saturday night. We were going to camp, but alas, young Olivia is still a camp wanderer in search of a potty when needed. Therefore, we will be roughing it in the motel.

My 04 has never locked any time except when I hit the button. It refuses to lock with keys in the ignition, which I like. It also locks after like 30 seconds after unlocking if you don't open a door.
