Come outta the closet??

Post by mkdubs »

OK so not really but it sounded good... Ive been lurking around here since about 2006 when i randomly came across genvibe while looking for parts for my moms vibe. As of today my mom gave me her vibe and she bought a new car so i figured i would officially sign up for a screenname and join the forums. Our vibe is a 2005 automatic, lowered on B&G sport springs, aero turbine exhaust, 18x8 tsw sakata 5's for winter and 17x7 asa A1's for summer time. Car has 135k miles runs great just a couple cosmetic issues to take car of. Im a volkswagen nut at heart but have really enjoyed driving the vibe!! Anyways hope to learn some more stuff about the vibe that i dont know and maybe meet some of you guys some time! heres a a picture of the vibefrom a car show/GTG to raise money for a family in mcminnville oregon

thanks, the reason for the bigger wheels in winter, is that the TSW's have clear coat pealing and some lip rash from the nasty railroad tracks and pot holes so i decided to just buy non directional tires with a good tread pattern and we run them when the weathers bad, my ASAs are in excellent shape so when the sun is out they go on. Kind of a pain but until i find some steelies on CL the 18s are gonna stay winter wheels.

thanks for the welcome everyone, i have some plans for the vibe such as recovering the headliner in a patterned fabric along with the A,B,C pillars, get a new hood, jiffy lube pulled ours down with the prop up and i didnt notice until i got home so time for carbon fiber. i also need to install my HIDs and finish pulling off the black tape from around the window frames
