New to The Forums. Not New to Vibes.

Well hello there... Fancy seeing you folks here.

First off, my car; because why else would I be here?
I drive a 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT, jet black. Bare bones stock, aside from a totally awesome K&N cloth air filter that gives it like 30 horse power hurrrr. NO.

It's a great driver and is a blast when I get the chance to go on closed roads or track days. And that little 2ZZ in her? Purrs like a kitten. Got about 310,000km on it, so it's had a pretty good life so far. One owner car too.
Planning a few things for it, the usual cold air intake and headers. But then there's a few things that I just love to do. Rebuilding the head when I get a free week; new valve springs, valves, lapped valves and a port and polish. I'm also going to be using it as a test bed for a new intake plenum that I've designed, the stock one is horrid... Then there's the obvious suspension components and stage 3 racing clutch (I've never been comfortable with "soft" clutches).

Me. I drive a vibe. I'm an engineer. I used to race touring cars and karts. In karts I was ranked 7th in Canada at one point. Built my own racing engines for a number of years. Built up a 1985 BMW 325e with a '92 M3 engine myself when I was 17.

That's really all there is. Any questions?

Welcome to GenVibe! Amazing to me to think that Vibes are beginning to turn 10 years old now.

Did you just recently go searching for a forum, or have you been lurking for awhile?

I've actually been lurking GenVibe since the later bit of 2009. This is my go to place for trouble shooting! Just started getting interested in doing a few things to my Vibe and figured that picking the brain of the collective community would be far better than googling things for countless hours!

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to GenVibe even though you've been "lurking " for several years A Canadian Engineer also Probably a Mechanical engineer like myself ................... Cool Our minds can vision things before they take shape. I used to be so good at this BUT now I rarely have the time to be creative like in my younger years Post pics of your Vibe when you get a chance. Looking forward to see and hear of any mods done to your Vibe

I am indeed a mechanical engineer my friend! I'll be sure to throw up a few photos when I get the chance and actually do something to it! Can't wait to start!
