GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hello!My name is Chelle. I'm from Essexville, Michigan. I'm the VERY PROUD owner of a 2003 Vibe GT 6 sp manual. I just bought it back in Feb. after my vw golf died on me on the highway. I'm planning on doing some mods to the car before I move down to Florida this coming summer. I would LOVE to get some pointers on where to start and where to find it all cause I'm not having any luck by any means.I also belong to the Bay City Rides car club, but yet, no one owns a vibe and my baby is the laughing stock there, so I'd love to give her the kick to show what vibes can really do.Thanks

welcome. there are quite a few members in MI. every summer there is a genvibe super meet in Fenton (i believe). Do some searches and you will see what is available. however, if you really want to kick some (removed), rio trix has his 2zz (GT motor) turbo for sale. he dyno'd up to 262 whp (292 on another dyno). now that would shut them up pretty quick. LOL

Welcome!!!! I'm sorry that the car club is not respecting you and your Vibe! Maybe when you get to Florida you can join a Pontiac club to get the recognition you both deserve! I'm sorry I can't help you with the mods...just wanted to wish you luck with your project!

Welcome to GenVibe, Chelle! Show them "Lift" and they will think differently. The ultimate "Kick" would be a turbo. If you are not that hardcorethen an intake, header and exhaust should be fine. Then get apiggyback computer like the Unichip or Camcon and get it tunedfor your mods to get the most out of them. You can get it all athttp://www.neverenoughauto.com - Brad will give you the best prices.Another place you can get everything you need is Ebay. Whensearching for parts, remember that the "Toyota Matrix XRS" is the same car and you can use the same performance parts listed onEbay or any other site.Good Luck with your quest. Don't forget to use this site's search function for finding answers to your questions also.

Welcome to the forums Chelle

Welcome to the family!

hey chelle, welcome to the fam. i've got an 05 gt. all i have on it so far is a k&n short ram intake that helps w/ throttle response and power. and damn it sounds good when lift kicks in now it's time to see some pics of your new baby

Welcome to GenVibe, we Florida Vibers will look foward to you moving down here, we have lots of meets.

I would say welcome you as a Michigan member but you're moving so never mind j/k. Mine used to be laughed at now I just get stares and jaw drops.

Welcome to the site! And for those who laugh, boy are they showing their ignorance and are really not car people!

Thanks for all the welcomes.I'll surely look for those mets here in Michigan, and Florida..lol!I would love a turbo. How much would rio trix like for it?!I'll have pictures up within the next day or two of her.

what's so funny about a 4 banger family sedan capable of running a mid to high 15 stock?

I think their embarassed about the fact they can possibly be beat by a vibe...who knows!

Welcome! what other kind of cars are in that club?

Taking it to redline before shifting will make it easier to stay in lift between shifts. 1-2 is tough, but keep practicing. Welcome to the family

welcome to the family chelle!

BTW that was before the engine blew. Now it just sits in the garage and waits for me to gather up $3100 for a new used one.

Welcome!! yeah post pics asap I wish I got a GT, "Lift" sounds fun Merzbow - dude...dude what did you do to your car

There's nova's and vettes and trucks, bikes....you name it, it might be in the club.3100....OUCH! good luck with that one...

GT is the way to be

welcome to the forum fellow michigander, it is awesome here!

Thanks!I was wondering when the next meeting for the michigan vibes would be?! I'd love to see what people have done so I get an idea of what is possible

i dont have a clue, i guess there was a meet (non vibe) at grandvalley a couple weeks back, i guess a couple people on here go to that, didnt know about it though, so i didnt show up

hmm...well shoot.I'll have to keep up on here to see when the next one is...it'd be great to have the michigan crew come up to bay city to the bcr lot on a nice day. who knows.
