Shawezzell.... Love it... I just say in one of the many mags I get... a Honda element with a 350-400hp, T-boed 4, RWD running the drift circuit...

pretty sure thats one of the better sleepers ive ever seen

nothing gives it away like having drag radials on the back of a front wheel drive car though...

I love Astros (and own one, a rusty old AWD one though) there are guys on AstroSafariVans.com that have 502ci BB's in some... there is a guy here with one converted into a truck for some reason, and a guy near by that makes solid front axle conversions and lift kits for them... There used to be a guy that built on with some monster of a motor, mounted mid engine and it was like a 654ci beast he built for river boats racing (that was his business)

Many people would argue the Vibe being one of the Ugliest (and have aginst me on another forum i'm on)Everything except the Aztec has it's place... lol

I just got the new issue of performance auto & sound, and there is a company that made a turbo kit for the M3, it's pushing 600hp on stock internals...!!

wyatt89 · Post by **wyatt89** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:29 am

i believe it, m3's already boosted anyways, a company got a scion tc to 440 on stock internals...just think, that engine is going to be in the '09 vibe >:}

I think the Vibe is quirky, but not ugly.

I know this is an old topic, but i stumbled here! I looked into a v8 for my vibe a long time ago, and it doesn't matter what people i called they wouldn't even consider the job, even the racing team that made the V8 Focus years ago with Shelby.

I want to do that to a Prius someday. Chevy V8 and internals, conversion to RWD, chassis strengthening, and the quietest exhaust ever to be put on V8, just to have the FULL surprise on those muscle cars...

I looked into a v8 for my vibe a long time ago, and it doesn't matter what people i called they wouldn't even consider the job, even the racing team that made the V8 Focus years ago with Shelby.That's because there is literally nothing made for the Vibe in terms of chassis stiffening...You'd basically need a full custom tube chassis to do a v8 in a Vibe.. Show someone some money, they'll talk to you.. some punk come in and talk of dreams, well, it's a waist of their time (i'm jus sayin that's how they look at it) Show them some money, things will change... Rally builders might talk to you if you show them the money... you are in Fl.. should be a whole grip of tuner shops in Fl..
