Hello GenVibe

Post by 1gnvibe »

Hi GenVibe, glad to be here. I just bought a 2004 Vibe GT with only 58,500 on it. It was a older couples 4-down towed car, and with driving miles that low I couldn't pass it up.

I once owned a Neptune blue 05 base... but she gave up her life to save me from a tree that maliciously jumped out into the road late at night. I'm glad to be back in a Vibe, at least on the weekends.

I already dipped the wheels and badges and ordered up a set Tein S Techs. My Lamin-X kit just showed up today (yay!) and I will post about the install.
Thanks for keeping the good Vibes rolling :lol:

So you don't like LIFT? It the only way to go. I feel sorry for that car towing and not being driven like it should. The engine like high revs.

The only lift I'm gunning for is valve lift. That motor sounds awesome when the lift kicks on. I felt sorry for it too. It's got a hideous bracket poking out through the lower opening in the bumper... It looks like I gotta take most of the front end apart to unbolt it... I'll probably tear it all down during the spring install.

Welcome to GenVibe! 64,000 miles is awesome! Heck, both our 2009 Vibe GTs aren't too far off from that and they're 5 years newer. Definitely post pictures of both your Vibes when you get a chance. We love pictures around here :D!
