thanks everyone for the warm welcome, im really excited about getting it, i already got questions, mainly regarding my current rims/offset im not sure what the offset is on my 17"s..but i know that the size is fine, using an online tire calculator, im .02% too slow i believe

My sunfire was a 96 black GT. I didn't have much done to it other then some light covers and neons... I did my tuning to the Vibe with rims, springs, unichip, exhaust, intake, strut and rear sway bar and stuff. no neons lol. I've moved on from that scene. Its all about what helps in performance

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 2:56 am

lol it's surprizing how many former J owners have vibes now. I traded my 01 fire for the vibe

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 7:34 am

just a quick question..when you all say "wave vibe"..you know it's the color..and not actually a pontiac wave right? i know..i sound dumb when i ask a stupid question but just curious

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 7:38 am

LOL!!! Yup, we all know its the color.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:30 am

alright cool...love the color tho..i should have it with in 2 weeks as i've been updated today..so once i get it..i'll definitly be getting some pics up

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:50 am

I love that color. Saw a few along with a Matrix sitting around at a dealer a few weeks ago. When I bought mine, they only had like Lava, Abyss, Satellite, and Neptune availible. I would have gotten your new blue if it was around then.Welcome to the site. Bolt pattern is 5x100. The offsets I've seen people get on here range from like +35 to +45 or 48 so...

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:58 am

alright thanks for the info on the offset..i knew the bolt pattern and im sure the offset wouldnt be much different between the two cars..i'll have to experiance it once i do get the vibe and it gets nicer out around march...btw love your vibe merzbow

DopeVibeGT · Post by **DopeVibeGT** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 9:41 am

Yeah, like that wave color. Seen it on the lot. Kind of wish they had that color in 03.

Welcome Waveblue. Your going to have a sweet looking ride with those wheel's. What are your plans for the stance (springs) How low are you planing to go?...... nuvibe

nuvibe · Post by **nuvibe** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:32 pm

That's pretty kool how you do some of these photochop. I wounder how my ride would look with those wheel's. I'll ask to do a photochop on another post, do not want to highjack. The pic you have of your concept look's like it's lower than 2", but anyway you chose it will look nice..... nuvibe

nuvibe · Post by **nuvibe** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:35 pm

By the way who make's those bronze wheel's on the photochop?.... nuvibe

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 4:38 pm

sorry, but unless it's a subaru, i'd stay away from the gold/blue look.... it just looks like "i with i had a subaru." not like they didn't steal the world rally blue color from them already. *waiting for the flaming....*

Mav has those on his vibe w/ stock springs and after 3 years, no problems still. he was in woodstock, ON and now on his second winter here in Anchorage. ride heighth is fine for daily commuter driving. if you drive during the day time though, you might have some clearance issues, but not too much really. my car sits lower than his vibe w/ the s-techs. i also have s-techs on my LGT, but it sits maybe 2" above ground. i do bottom out and have to be careful of scraping. don't have problems in the vibe driving the exact same route. and yes, wave color is very very close to subaru world rally blue.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:08 am

I like the Subaru color blue but I personally would rather get something else with that kind of money (I'm more fond of old school muscle than import/tuners if I could afford them:( I'd be rollin in a '69 Charger if I was rich lol). To have the option of that color though on other cars would make me happy if I ever was in the market for a new car...not too many new cars worth buying now-a-days IMO but you know what I'm sayin I do understand your concern for unofficial official colors to be kept vehicle specific though. The Viper GTSs seemed to originate the blue with white stripes scheme and not very many other cars can pull that off successfully besides maybe the old Cobras, so I think it is best left with the Viper That's all the fire you get outa me Now what if Freestyle's old Vibe had the Subaru blue and bronze rims with that STI scoop of his? That would be pretty neat looking. Maybe get the gold Impreza rally vinyls and that would really confuse people! (removed)....just kidding

LOL.my dad is the same way. i took him to subiefest a couple weekends ago while i was down in WA visiting. his first car was a race car. his family raced stock cars down south (still do) so all his cars were 454's or bigger. so it was funny watching him try and figure out the tuner scene as to what all that shiny tubing and hoodscoops were for. LOL. he's like all that power comes out from that little dinky engine?? ha ha ha!

well in my opinion..i think the color of vibe im getting is more lighter then this "subaru blue" we all speak of...my color is more of a baby blue then the blue used by subaru
