same as the vibe. the stock in dash 6 disc and my amp and sub. 600 watt rockford fosgate w/ 8" solobaric kicker sub in ported box. brent, the guy who installed everything, said when he saw the 8" he hoped i'd be able to hear it in the trunk. then after he installed it, he woke up the roommates because it was hitting so hard. woke them up to "too legit" by MC Hammer. i got a CD of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. lol. it was funny.

those rims are pretty sweet. I wish they offered some cooler stock rims for the Vibes. the car looks really good tinted too. (wasn't a fan of either choice really)

Devlop · Post by **Devlop** » Wed May 11, 2005 7:16 am

I have no idea. Off the line, this car sucks because of the short first gear. The tires tend to break free after about 4000rpm if I floor it. I'm pretty sure I'm in the 5 sec range though.I see how it is, choose me over the wife. What has this world come too.

ha ha! good choice, love!but really, i've been playing around with the manual shift in the car. first gear pulls nicely, and of course anything after 3000 rpms. once that turbo kicks and you hit 4500, it's fly back in your seat FUN! i'd be very curious to see what kinds of 1/4 times i could get w/ the AT manual sport shift. i also realized that if i keep the rpm's lower (higher gears) i am averaging about 20 mpg city driving opposed to the AT shifting getting about 17.5 mpg! sure, i can't stomp on the gas without downshifting, but how is that any different from MT?

Your new Subaru is looking really great! While I was out last night I seen one in a parking lot. I had to get out and take a look at it. It's a smaller car than I thought. It was very sporty looking. Yours looks better though, he didn't have tint and painted calipers. Keep up the good work

It's gonna take up all of the cargo space, but it'll be worth it.

Also taped the area around the calipers so the paint didn't make contact with the discs. Oh and I also sprayed some sorta clear coat thing she had in a can on them as well when the paint dried.On top of all that hard work I had to take pics, I took all those of the caliper work. The other pics she takes on the road to job stuff or when ever and she has yet to ask me for my help washing the car... she just shows up home with it clean...

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu May 12, 2005 4:02 pm

he said it best when i was going to have him paint the calipers for me: "i'd rather you paint them because you're so particular about YOUR car that i know i won't be able to do it right and you'll complain FOREVER!"and he's right. as i worked on the calipers, teresa, my neighbor came out and said, "yep, Hope's so (removed) about her car. i see she's already started on the new one!" i'm a perfectionist. i demand it. and i would have been unhappy with anyone else's paint job than my own.

well i installed (sort of) the clear bra for the hood and front bumper. let me just say it's a real pain in the (removed)! well worth the money for someone ELSE to do it! as it stands, i think i'll still have to have someone install the hood again because i screwed it up. looks fine from afar, just don't look too close!
