GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hi gang,just curious to know since the summer is coming and its mod season Myself?Well I've done a couple of little things but the next biggie is:Lowering the Vibe in a week or so You guys?

Well I'm pretty much done with mine, the only thing I need still is some wheel spacers for the rear wheels to push them out maybe half an inch or so to make them flush with the outside of the car, that's bout it tho!

I too am done modding. Actually, I'm taking stuff off as I am selling mine within the next 2 months.The G6 is in, but my dad gets to drive it first for 3 months (only 2 left). Part of the GM PEP process.

Too much to list, but I will get them done as the money comes in. Modding=Expensive.

My big summer mod will be Supercharging.

What are you getting rid of from the Vibe?

a pant job...and if i decide to sell my bike, a supercharger...

Kharman's bike What kind of bike is it?I'm thinkin about the JP header G/B as well as springs, wheels, roof caps (in a couple weeks), if someone gets a set of wheel spacers in a set of four I'll buy the two extras from them. I also eventually want to put a screen in my glove box for a PS2 incase I go on any long trips.

Quote, originally posted by ArcsVibe »Wow another G6! What are you getting rid of from the Vibe?Yeah, this has been in the works for a while now. My dad is PEP'ing a G6 GT for me. Since he is 8th level at GM, he drives the car for 3 months putting up to 7500 miles on it, then I buy it when it's all said and done for a heavily reduced price.We've had it for about 3 weeks now, I just haven't taken any pictures yet. I will do that soon. Black GT, 17" chrome wheels, panaramic roof, XM, 8 speaker Monsoon stereo, remote starter.Basically fully loaded minus Onstar and Leather because I didn't really want/need either of those.

Yeah, I'd like to jump on those JP group buys, but feeling a little broke at the moment. If the hood from JSP ever comes in..... Um, Doing the Hotchkis setup this weekend, getting the body kit in today, so I will have to get that fitted, painted, and installed. Lets see, if I can find another SC for a good price I might jump on that provided I am financially capable. Some painting (i.e. hood cover, interior trim parts, some misc engine compartment parts, thinking of getting the wheels fixed up and powdercoating the spokes.....). Racing seats and an underbody neon kit are good possibilities. Interior trim kit. Too many, doubt I will get them all done this summer, but I'll sure try!

You know I will have a follow up thread that: Post pics of your summer mods

You pose a great question Arcs....After a CAI, exhaust. spoiler, satillite radio, tires and rims, etc. I'm at a stand-still. Between the supercharger, a nitrus express kit or a chip, I'm not really sure which way to go. I'm not much of a system guy, so that is out of the question. Maybe I should save my oney and buy a GTO...LOL

I;m sure it can happen to anyone with any aftermarket add-on, but just seems like a lot of nitrous explosions have been showing up. I know it is way cheaper, ut I would still go with the SC. Maybe the chip after it all.

Hmm...starting with last weekend's mods:1. changed tranny fliud to AMSoil severe gear lube (great mod for the tranny, BAD mod for my clothes )2. TWM Short Shift Kit w/ weighted shif knobupcoming in most likely dated order:1. coolant flush 2. RPS street clutch w/ sport disc (on the way)3. MWR forged chromoly/lightened flywheel (on the way)4. painted mid-spoiler installed 5. Aerogear fenders & roof caps painted/installed6. full paint job w/ cosmetic body work for dings, dents, deep scratches, etc7. painted 04 rocker panel extensions in lieu of side skirts8. JSP hood? (removed) I doubt it I think that's it..

patiently waiting for a CARP approved CAI for the '05 that doesn't require (significant) modification...

Going to be putting on the Progress RSB that I got from damronjr. BTW, Got it safe and sound today! Thanks again damronjr Future mods, putting on the CF hood that's been sitting in the garage for the last 6 months. Not sure if I'll be installing the nitrous or selling it. I'd like to upgrade the speakers and have my old school Rockford Fosgate HD Punch 150 installed. I'll be adding some led lighting and maybe some different head light and driving light bulbs as soon as I do a little more homework. Other than that, I don't know.

I see that alot of us are going to have busy summers with our Vibes lol keep it up peeps

a yamaha YZF 600R...

i hope to add a couple stains to my backseats...

I have been contemplating getting one against my better judgement!

"i hope to add a couple stains to my backseats..."Why don't you change the dome lights to Black Lights, then you can see all those stains at night! Headliner too...No real mods for me, working on a glove box light at the moment.Otherwise regular maintenance items, my wife does not want to really mod the Vibe.

Quote, originally posted by damronjr »I now know it can be done! There are at least 3 Matrices that have them on MO!Yeah, but that'd be like rolling on rubber bands

to my knowlege, 19" is as big as you can go without messing up the speedo...

Quote, originally posted by drunkenvibe »to my knowlege, 19" is as big as you can go without messing up the speedo...I don't know... like Christian said, as long as you have thin enough tires it will still be the same cirumference. I should think it will make your ride suck, but they have said it is still an at least semi-comfortable ride as long as you dodge potholes and stuff like that.

Quote, originally posted by damronjr »OEM CF hood? What kind of nitrous kit? Let me know if you decide to sell it. I have been contemplating getting one against my better judgement!Yeah, OEM CF hood. I'll see if I have enough energy to go outside and drag it out for a picture. I'll take one of the nitrous kit to.

I am going to put in a dual stage boost controller. I am going to put in a different nozzle for the water injection. Finally tint my windows (what is wrong with me!?)I am going to turn the boost up. I am going to add wings so that i can fly. I am going to turn up the boost. I am thinking of putting in a six speed tranny from a gt, with an LSD, Probably a quaife..$$ is the issue here. I am going to turn up the boost. I am looking to have a heart attackOh yeah, did I say "I am going to turn up the boost"?My next project is to go to the beach! I miss the beach! I live in the desert ...they dont have water out here!....They dont have the color "Green" either!. Maybe I should paint my car green! maybe that will help me feel better....

Faultline I'm going to kick you in the shins You lucky boy. Actually I'm planning on doing alot of traveling this summer. No more school for me so I'm probably gonna be camping alot with friends.I'm thinkin CRY02 as well for me. The Vibe wont ever be fast unless I get F/I so the only reason I want the CRY02 is so I can purge it and scare everyone away. Make them THINK I have a fast car with nitrous. Kinda like those catipillars with the faces on their backs to scare away the birds How ricey is that?!?!?!

I know personally that the next couple of weeks I will be doing a few mods and can't wait to post the pics!

/thread hijackSpeaking of travelling, my GF and I just returned from a camping trip to the Grand Cayon...whoo boy that was AMAZING! We left L.A. @ 8pm PST, arrived at the GC 3:30am and didn't sleep until about 5pm. Sunday we drove down to Pheonix to watch the Dodgers stomp the D'backs (go blue!), then drove back up to the GC to camp the night again. Sunday we hit up Meteor Crater, ~35 miles E of Flagstaff, then jumped in the Colorado river on the way home @ Needles.This was definitely the most memorial Memorial Day for me ever Especially since I think I found my future wife /end thread hijack

On the way up there was a bit on the 15 until about the 210, then it was pretty smooth all the way to the 40.

correct. there are threads about it here and on matrixowners.com. none of the currently available CAI (that i'm aware of, please correct me if i'm wrong) can be installed without modification.

Anyone else? Keep it coming I love summer lol
