Sorry for the crap video, as you can see, snows on the ground and I can't get a decent one of some real reving... But anyhow, tell me what you think....

Sounds like a beast.

I couldn't hear it... Can't wait till I get home... But it Looks SWEET

Thanks guys, i'll try and get something better for a vid here in a few days, she's outside right now !! in the cold, ice and rain.. Working on the girlfriends Jimmy, replacing the front clip...

Sounds good! Although it is kinda hard to tell with just that clip.

Best I got for now though.... I'll try and get something better soon...

I'm still waiting on the AWD donuts in the snow video.

Sounds good but you need some acceleration and drive-by vids...

Couldn't watch... dirty Vibe... needs to be... washed... needs to be... white... But she sounds good, for a 4 banger.

It's hard to wash in 20* weather... you end up icing over before you finish... she got dirty and then got cold before I could clean her up...

dude that sounds sweet. by the way, that's one thing i do like about those subarus. they don't sound like wimpy japanese engines

I've actually had "cart boys" CHEERING for me after a good 1k' driftnut...

ha ha. i've tried hard to get the car to go all over the place intentionally. can't seem to do it. however, when I DON'T want it flying all over, that's when it does. LOL

search for the thread title "donuts anyone?" there's an old video of my vibe doing donuts. they weren't really good ones, the phone didn't have the memory for the ones i did before that.

LOLall you need to do is get up to about 15 mph or so, then gas it while turning the wheel back and forth, it will sway back and forth and eventually spin out, i promise!

LOL!however, we'll be doing some winter rally cross so i can try and become a better winter ice driver (and will be better for everyone on the road!).

Kinda sounds like a tractor...I'm just sayin'At full on, I'm sure it sounds like a beast. But at idle, well, not my thing.

dang its a beefy exhaust tune...almost like a electric supercharger from ebay hahha i kid i kid

It's odd, because the actuall motor was dirrived from japanese mini- "cube" trucks....It's a TRUCK motor... lol...

Last winter, I pulled up to a customer's house. He comes sticking his head out the door to see the "monster" in his driveway, only to be surprised to see my 4 door family sedan. LOL

I know here, in the land of Ford and Chevy, people are FREAKED out over the power it makes when I take them for a ride... My mom never let me get over 40mph when I took her out... lol... Don't you love how you can hear one (with exhaust of course) coming from blocks away... I know my ears perk like a cats when I know one is in the area...

Nice sounding car!(Thanks for not putting a fart can on it)

I know my ears perk like a cats when I know one is in the area... actually i hate loud exhausts. mine is louder than i prefer. i like the quiet, don't know i'm there and alert the cops i'm coming exhaust. LOLthis past summer, we had both sets of parents come for a visit. I took my dad with me to autocross and he co-shared my car and then took phil's dad with me to the drag strip so he could "go fast." at first, he didn't think it was his thing, but once he hit 100 mph, he had this crazy grin on his face! LOL

Quote, originally posted by NibCrom »Nice sounding car!(Thanks for not putting a fart can on it) No, no fart cans here... but it is 3" from the turbo back, with dual 3" tips... (catted down pipe to, the cat-less one is sitting in the garage, just waiting for me to install it and be able to SHOOT FLAMES..!!)

I like that sound... I was waiting for you to hit it.. (or at least rev it a little)... now I'm still waiting...

honestly, you will never really be able to "hear" how the true boxer rumble sounds unless it's in person. I've tried to get recordings of mine before and it just doesn't sound right. In person, it's a very deep rumble, shakes the entire house. I can hear the car start up out in the mall parking lot when I'm inside! It scares people if they are walking by the car and i start the engine. They just don't expect that kind of rumble from a car!

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT »It scares people if they are walking by the car and i start the engine. I like that! I had someone walk by a little to close to my bike's back end, so when I started it I was partly on the throttle, when it started it was loud as usual, but it also back fired (think of a race car down shifting and back fire.. not like a ford aspire that doesn't run right with some punk kid revving the (removed) out of it backfire)guy jumped, lost balance and fell on the ground!

Here is another one, second day of ownership... all it really does is show how easily my cameras mic distorts....
