How would you build a Vibe? (factory and aftermarket parts)

[SeattleJeremy]

If you had to have a Vibe as your weekend second car how would you put it together? (not you're daily driver, no gas misers here)What parts would you use? Try to use real parts (no 6speed AWD's )Here's what I came up with ChassiesuspensionBrakesAWD chassie (with the multi-link rear suspension) Rear Disks from a GTUpgraded front and rear sway bars (Hotkins front, and Celica rear)Matrix M Theory RimsMatrix M Theory SpringsDrive Train1ZZ BaseAWD engine with Factory Supercharger6-speed transmission from a GTUpgraded ACT Clutch TWM Short ShifterRear drive shaft, rear Diff, and axles removed (because they don't hook in to the 6speed).Supercharger intakeDC Sports Header2.5" exhaust pipe with resonator Magniflow mufflerChrome Tip.Energy Suspension Engine mount BushingsInteriorICEFactory Nav unit, Monsune sound systemFactory LeatherBoost GaugeExterior Yellow Lexan Fog Light Covers by MiVibe-ToolGuyDebadged

Since you're using the 6 speed,I would Turbo instead of supercharge.Way more power available.BTW,what's a supercharger intake?

I agree with kev... TURBO!!! lol + a MWR engine/partsI think he's talking about the pipe thingy that comes with the S/C which make the stock box more like a CAI.... instead of getting an aftermarket CAI
