Hi Guys; got me a 2003 base Vibe/ manual/ Lava a week ago. Hook into your web site and pretty much gone over all posts on engin/tran forum. With your help have decided what mods to go with first. I am not in the need for speed on the Vibe ; but do want to get the most out of the engin. I am going to enjoy keeping tabs on site. Jim

Thanks--Have talk with Brad [ got his name from your post] and will be getting parts from him. Read good reports on there site. Have to be honest; I have been mod crazy for about 9 years. Have a yelo pearl 1991 300ZX TT The Vibe is great and since it red it goes with the wife red Honda Fit. The dog is really mixed up not knowing who red car it is. Am sure will have ? and hope to have some helpfull input too as time goes on

Nice looking Z Body still stock on mine with org. paint and 95 % of interior is org. I am at stage 3/4 on mine and running around 400 hp at motor When 300Z change body style in 1990 I fell in love ; but 35000 to 40000to much but got a great buy in 1998 and belive it or not wife help me get it. So anyway this is Vibe Country and it will be my daily driver. Do a lot of miles on weekends ; with packing lot of stuff[ playtoys-whitewater kayaks-mt. bikes] Love the way the back seat fold down for gear. thanks again for the welcome Jim

welcome to the site... glad to have another fairlady lover on here too. i had a 90 n/a 2+2 that i was gonna do a tt conversion on... but i hydrolocked the engine a day n a half after installing the intake. i shoulda put a bypass valve on it considering the location of the intake, but i was excited to put it on n couldn't wait here are a couple pics of my baby(r.i.p.)after the spoiler was stolen:

yeah it sucked. i had it towed to the shop after i drowned the engine, and a few days later i talked to the shop manager to see what the verdict was, and he said "i've got bad news, someone jacked your spoiler last night". i never put any more $$ into the car because the poor thing was too @#$%ed up for my budget from the start(long story, not the place to post it). look @ the bumper in the first pic, the first time i washed it, the bondo came off on my mitt exposing that wonderful yellow color which promptly got covered up with autozone's finest can of $6 glossy spray paint. lol i ended up sellin it to a guy from arizona who came with a flatbed n towed it away. it's still my fav car, i've wanted one since the "they couldn't catch me" and "barbie" commercials in the early 90s. i will get another one down the road, after my vibe is paid off
