GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Alright guys, 2005 is almost gone. That year for me was quite "important" because I got the Trix in august (no Trix, no Genvibe and no MO). Basically I invested in coilovers and a nice set of lightweight rims. Those two things were my main expenses for 2005.Now that 2006 is almost here, what are your planned mods for the year? Mine: Hass turbo kit.

I'm planning on a custom AWD header & Dyno Tuning the e-Manage and Camcon.

Can't wait to see what you get out of your "dual" set-up Called once for a custom header and was quoted about 900$ can... A little too much for a few hp. Do you have any guesstimate for you in the US?

I was quoted $300-$400. But I think I will be able to get it down a little lower because I will be supplying the header flange and and exhaust/downpipe flange that I found on this site: http://www.ppeengineering.com/DIYSexhaust.htmI'm also considering a Throttle Body bore from http://www.maxbore.com as well. We'll see.

Are you going to have your intake manifold done at the same time? Too bad dyno time is so expensive or we could have had the "before and after" whp of those two mods together...Keep us informed of your "(removed) dyno" experience.

The intake manifold I will have done when I have the exhaust header made.

I was thinking maybe a Magnaflow system......already did most of my mods. I would like to add a DVD system in the car for my son though

I just put on a Magnaflow exhaust, red Cosmo CAI, dual red Fiamm horns, carbon fiber sill decals, Vibe decals over airbag warnings, red engine cover letter overlays, metallic black badge overlays, custom inside brake light decal "Raven", stubby antenna and I have 17" Motegi DP-5 rims in Gunmetal and Falken FK451 225/45/17 tires ready for spring. For 2006, all I need is a Progress sway bar and Tein S-Tech or SS Coilovers, if I can afford them.

You're going to love the Tein SS coilover if you get them. Lower them in spring, raise them in fall, best of both world.

Anybody else? Come on guys, let's keep the MTL section alive

lift controller, camcon, canuck motorsports springs, hondata gasket, aem pulleywould also like to bore the tb and port the intake and exhaust headers....but i dont wanna get ahead of myself....

I didn't plan some mods for 2006! Maybe I'll buy a second Vibe, but a used one this time. It will depend of the price and of my budget!

Depending on my economy,i will try to put a -cai cosmo racing-tint window's-paint all the engin bay-weathertech window Deflector-maybe change my hu

- install my general lee horn I've bought in december, come back to summer setting (see sig) and- save money for the wedding... no mod for '06

I'm going to paint my metalic grey interior pieces and my engine cover a color changing paint (copper to green) like I did my calipers last summer.

Well I guess my planned mod for 2006 didn't take too long to happen.Just ordered the kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now 4 weeks to wait to get it build.

After my accident today I am getting a new front end lol

You're not serious! Are you OK??? Did you kiss the SRS?Were you at fault?We want details!

I am ok. My car was parked at work (AGAIN) when it got hit.More info here: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=20986tabarnak!!

Finally, I won't do any mods for my Vibe for 2006, because I bought a 2000 Toyota Echo to replace my old 1994 Geo Metro.

Congrats on your new purchase Fred!

As long as it is on the weekend Car is ok, waiting for the garage to call me so I can repair it.Let me know when you guys would want to. The garage in question is on Papineau near Fleury. My buddy is a janitor and has a nice big garage to work in.

Un peu tard dans ma reponse, non j'ai pas de garage a moi mais quand je travaille sur ma voiture, je le fais au "stealership" que je travaille. Unfortunatly, employee only...De toute facon, Sam semble avoir acces a un garage, on pourrait-tous s'y retrouver. BTW, as-tu installe tes bushing de shifter???

BTW, as-tu installe tes bushing de shifter???Oui, j' ai installé mes bushings au mois de novembre, j' aime ca!Je comprends que c' est juste pour les employés du garage...mais tu voulais m' aider ou au juste?Merci Sam, je prends ca en note!

pour ceux que ça intéresse, le gars est à Montréal...GenVibe posteBay

Anywhere!!! Usually with those things, there is always somebody coming through with a place and this time it was Sam. I don't mind going to MTL if you have a few mods to install (or anybody else for that matter).Nice looking hood there on Ebay. The guy seems to have a few for sale and accept local pick up too (MTL). Good deal.
