Just wanted to say hello. I just bought a Neptune 2006 Vibe GT and am looking to customize it a bit. Anyone know of any car clubs or customizers in LA or Long Beach area?

might be a good idea to start a Vibe Club down here in LA. Wonder if there is any interest? I have had mine for two days. Love it.. Bought it over a X3 and a Lexus. The money I saved is going towards mods. I just need to know who can do them.

I'd love to join a Vibe club in SoCal! I've had mine for 2 years and finally got in a "club", but they are very disorganized and rarely meet. That and the sad part is they claim I have the nicest car in the club! Welcome to GVC!

Let's organize a club then. I know that there are race tracks here in LA that have car shows. No reason why we couldn't get in on one of those. That or just get a bunch of Vibes together to meet. I am looking to "upgrade" my brand new GT. I know a guy that works as a fabricator for Injin Tech out in Pomona. I could talk with him as well.

Injen already makes some stuff for the Vibe and more for the GT. As far as meets go, I tend to try to stay down here, but if we can meet somewhere in between that would be cool. I hate driving in LA! lol

I hate the LA traffic too, but it would be worth it if we could get a club goin and find a spot where its easiest for all of us. I got the 05 vibe and my fiance has the 06 so there arent many parts for mine... and im still waiting for the cosmo intake!!!_Jason... I might end up goin out there next weekend. I heard the HIN is out there that weekend too!!! ill let you know for sure!

Welcome to GVC, It's good to see another L.A. viber. Check out Brainstorm Performance in Culver City - ballrub's the new GM (?) there. Also might want to search under the Engine forums - lot's of mod info there.

Crazy I thought I was the only one in Oxnard Ca. Only thing is I no longer have a Vibe!

No Turbo charger?

Not from Injen, but C-One (I think?) and XS Engineering make a turbo kit, and both Blitz and GReddy make a supercharger kit.

I don't think it could be that hard to organize a SoCal Vibe Club, do you?

How about this?

Pretty nice... and it has layers so the back layer can be reflective to get some attention.What other fonts can you do so we can get other options...

I could work on something tomorrow. Need to start a SoCalVibz thread to get more interest in membership

Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2006 12:34 pm

Yeah, you could do a new post and just let every one know of this thread that we all need to meet up in the new one to find members. you can try in the Southwest section i think it is, towards the botton of the forums list?

Well, let´s see if it will fly. Would be nice to get this thing going. I think if we start a SoCal thread, it will work best.

Greetings! Welcome to another so-cal member to genvibe!I'm up for a so-cal club as well, but psycobroker, as of Saturday, I left Brainstorm Performance (they were severely under-funded), and am back to being semi-retired again. Good news is the pilot for the tv show is done, and 6 cable channels are bidding on it now!Team Infidel--you have a GT?, then the only thing I'm aware of as far as forced induction for our cars is the Greddy supercharger kit (made for the Celica GTS--2zz engine), and am already in contact with them about making this application fit our cars. But there's still a lot of things you can do to our cars: suspension, tires/wheels, body kits, intakes, headers, exhaust, and interior enhancments too!

As far as fonts... i dont know, i went to find a few fonts last night and damn pop-ups galore came up... i had to clean my pc out. well just pick a few good ones or if everyone agrees on that first one then we should roll with that.

I'm happy to hear that your show is going to be picked up. That's sweet! Any chances I can slide in for a shoot?

If we can get enough cars, I know some folks at Irwindale Speedway where we may be able to meet. We probably need about ten cars or so to get involved. I can do the shirts with whatever designs we come up with. I have a press here at the house.

I am meeting with an engineer from Injen this week. I will ask him about engine mods to the cars.
