stock 03 base vibe. what to start with?

Post by technomobile »

I'm driving a stock 03 base vibe. I would very much appreciate any suggestions on what i need to do to it first on making it a sweet racer. I drive it really hard and would love to see the most performance i can out of it. If anyone could give me price ranges and part links I would appreciate it. thanks.

You've got an AWD vibe...Be careful how much you do, the drivetrain isn't as bulletproof as the standard one...

You can allways keep your eyes open on ebay. All the cold air intakes are basically the same, although mine is a Cosmo and I had some fitting difficulties. Most of the money is just for the name. Also, check the forsale forum to see if any members are selling their parts cheaper.
