De-Modding then Re-Modding

As many of you know I have been liquidating a bunch of my stuff. I have had a lot of people asking me if I am selling the Vibe.Don't worry I'm keeping the Vibe and I 'll be staying here on GV. (I'm sure that will disappoint some people - Ha, Ha!)I'm making changes to better suit it for my needs more for utility and performance than for looks. I just finished raising back up onto the stock springs (sold those before I even had them off). I am installing my hitch so I can start towing a small trailer.(for trips to the dump and lumber yard). I also just exchanged out my 14" Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler for a 20" of the same.(It's about 1/3 quieter now). I have a lightened oem sized Alutec crank pulley and a Unorthodox Racing lightened oem sized alternator pulley coming next week.(This way I won't be underdriving anything, I will be able to keep using the stock belt and be able to gain some ponies with the lightened pulleys). I will be ordering a new pretuned Unichip next month from http://www.Neverenuf.com for only $519.00 (Cheapest I have found).I loved how my Vibe looked, but I need to start using it for more practical tasks now. This is quite a versatile little vehicle. I love it.

Wow, lot's of changes there BC! I agree though, this car is VERY versatile, and it's nice to know you can still USE it for something other than going fast and looking good. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a little sacrifice to gain some of that utility back (i.e. springs).

Awe man, come-on! You can't bail on me now! You're my boy, Blue! Wish I could say the same, just put the S/C on the new engine! Looking for the header, that's next! Porbably gonna do the tranny cooler too while everything's apart. Let's see how long this engine lasts!

Ha, Ha. I'm not bailing. Just revamping for a while. I will be also looking at getting a custom AWD Header made later this summer.Hopefully one that can be put into production.
