Thanks! I've been going for more of an understated euro-rally look rather the popular "fast and the furious".

If I remember correctly, it was just over $100. I bought it from my local bike shop. They were running a sale - 20%. REI had them on sale also (rei.com - 20%).

Thule 886, if I remember correctly. I just attached it to the factory roof rack, put the bike on and was ready for action. No special modifications or Jimmy rigging. If I would have had to do any of that silliness, I would have just gone with a different system. I'm not into modifying these kinds of...

I had to mount the rack backwards so that I could open the hatch. I thought about putting the bike inside however, road bikes don't usually come with quick release seat posts and is too tall (about 3 inches or so). The position of the seat is too important to fuss with and too much of a pain to alwa...

Thule rack, and I don't think I'm going to do anything more to the car. I may concider a Borla exaust depending on the sound.Thanks for the compliments.

Here are my 18 inch Enkei RPM 2's with Nitto 235's.

I was just at the local Pontiac Dealer and notice they had a GM bike rack installed on one of their Vibes for demonstration. It is the exact rack that I bought from my bike shop a few weeks ago. I purchased a Thule 886 however, after tinkering with it I found that I needed to install it backwards. I...

MAN! That sound cool (second clip).I have family in Essexville and would love to stop by and say hi next time I'm up there. I would love to hear your ride in person. I really like the way the tail pipe looks - not too crazy. Good job.

I was thinking about doing the same. I like the euro colored lights I've seen on BMW and Audi. What are those called and are they available for the Vibe?

Saw a Mini Cooper with the cool stripes on it's hood and it got me thinkin. Stripes - yah or nah?

Sorry-You've had 18 wheel and Nitto tires for a while? How do you like them? How do you post a message with the description of your car under your username? Did you get, or are you going to get, the Hyper Black or Hyper Silver? The Enkei website shows only silver however, Discount tire's site calls ...

For $1200 I got the wheels, tires and CAI. Just wanted to make sure I was not missing anything good. I think I'm done for now anyway.

What would you do to your stock GT, "right out of the box", if you had a $1000 to spend?

Just went with the Enkei RPM 2 wheels plus Nitto NT 555 235/40ZR-18 Extreme Performance tires! If I can find some way of posting a picture, I will. The buys at Discount Tire where a little pushy at first, but they came around. By the way haggle, haggle, haggle, shop, price and haggle some more. I wa...

Sorry - I guess I'm a little sensitive. This forum is quite a bit less cordial than I'm used to. Some of these guys really seem rude. Let the worst get the better of me - my apologies all.

Forum Tough Guy I see!!Probably a coward in person.Ease up on the attitude *******.It's not conducive to the discussion

Who did you have install your injen?

215!! I can't believe it either. I don't know why it was so dogish. Maybe it's weight - dunno.All I know is that I would be pissed if I just spent all that $ for such a slug.I wonder if my friend test drove one before signing? I used to be in the car business and I thought I taught my friends better...

Hey Folks,I just drove a new PT GT and it SUCKED!!! I can't believe it has a turbo. -What a dog!Sure does make me feel better about my Vibe GT choice.

What do you guys think of the V Max Fuel and Oil treatments?

Worth the upgrade?

Thanks to everyone for your input on the Tornado. I just installed a K&N air filter and have noticed some performance change. I couldn't tell you if it is just in my head but it seems more responsive. I don't have access to the equipment to comment scientifically on the actual inhancement percen...

I just installed a Thule 889 Roof Rack. Much to my dismay, I found that ounce it is installed I can't open the hatch! I have now turned the entire rack around so I can open the hatch however, it appears backwards (the bike faces the rear of the car not the front). Any suggestions? By the way, it doe...

Is this thing for real? Anyone have experience with this Tornado deal?
