Dak6351-2004 GT (all options I could get)

[dak6351]

Hello everyone,

I wanted this to be my first post but I posted in the "mileage" post first, sorry. Well my name is Bob and I bought my Vibe GT in Oct. of 2003 with 50 miles on it and it now has over 214,000 on it after 9 years. After all these years I still drive it like I stole it! Its black on black and had it pegged once and it scared the hamsters under the hood so bad I didn't do that again. I have been wanting to talk to other people about mods I can do to it in order to keep it doing longer than the energizer bunny and maybe make it a little faster and handle better through the curves. If you would like to know anything else, please feel free to ask.

I have an 04 too, got it with 12 on the speed o. As of now I don't have quiet as many miles on it as you do, but still a very fun car. Where you from?

Welcome to GV! Want PICS!!!

I second that motion ........ Need pics Oh & welcome to this great forum

[dak6351]

The pic size requirement is too small for the camera on my phone but here she is, this was my last detail job.

Really slick looking vibe! I have to say, I'm kind of jealous haha. Black on black and a GT, plus that body kit. *drools*

Needs lowering (I have some springs for sale in the classifieds section)
Have an intake? If not, get one.
Love the body kit, but have never been a fan of the spoilers

Thanks guys, ppl have been drooling over that since before I got it. I don't want to lower it because there are a lot of pot holes where I live and the water dept. keeps the road crews in business if you know what I mean. I do want to add on some stuff but I am afraid the block can't handle too much.

mac99d where did you get all of your aftermarket "goodies" from? I do want an intake but I am thinking about doing a 3-5 year project of rebuilding a new engine from the ground up, I have a lot of miles on this one and just want to put something back in the 'ol bucket. Thanks guys, I look forward to continue these talks.

Here is a good web site to help you out in case you don't already know about them. http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
My car is 10 years in the making and counting.

Thanks Mac, that website will get me in a lot of trouble!

[DVibe]

Welcome! Looks good I'm digging the black too!

Man, that things a testament to what this car is capable of.

Keep that odometer rolling!

[dak6351]

Thanks DVibe and Psycho, I am driving the wheels off but looking to replace them sometime this year if my budget allows me to. I have proposed a crazy idea to my friends and that is "rebuild the engine" the way I want it to be. It will have to be a 3 to 5 year project because I am a student and my job sucks. But I am ambitious and the sites I have found in conjunction with what Mac99d suggested I am in for a long haul! If I decide to do it, I will have build photos and a huge suggestion box attached. The only thing that is lingering in my mind is that the next accident I have with it will total it. But I will continue to drive it like a madman!
