Post by slow4dr »

Hey all!I picked up a used '03 Vibe GT commuter since gas prices are getting out of hand. The car will remain mostly stock except for maybe some airflow mods to help with mileage. So far I love the car, it's alittle "buzzy" on the freeway but that's probably cause I'm used to driving the Magnum. I find it very strange/cool that when I think/hear that I need to shift I look at the tach and realize I've got 3K rpm left before redline. Anyway, I've been a long time member of the SRTforums since I bought a '03 SRT4 in March of '03. I sold that car to buy the Magnum and I had a low 12 second Galant VR4 that I sold to start the Nova project. I'm a member of a few other sites like SRT8ownersclub, Stevesnovasite, Honda-tech, SOTsyndicate and a bunch of others I don't frequent very much. Here's a cell phone pic

Thanks everyone! The Nova is definitely a "work in progress" but I hope to have it drivable by the end of the year. I'm having random bad thoughts about lifting the Vibe up an inch or two, putting a light bar on the front and making a skid plate for the front......RALLY STYLE. It must be the 909 mentality rubbing off on me. I am in Yucaipa, and I used to work in Cat City.
