Hey all, my name is Dave and I just picked up an '06 Vibe 5 speed a couple of weeks ago. So far I'm in love with this thing. Can't wait to start modding!
(I'll upload some pics as soon as I can)

Thanks guys! and Doug14, its dark gray (moonstone if you want to get technical). I'll get some pics up as soon as I figure out how in the world to upload them. If anyone could give me any help on that front, that would be great! (I tried uploading them from my computer but it said the files were invalid?)

Was the engine replaced or is that a GT?

Nope. That would be the stock 1zz-fe in there. It's the base model.
first "mod"

We are going to need to get a PA meet going here soon for all the new members from the Commonwealth. From the spread, it looks like a central location may be an idea. LOL
Welcome!!!

Hi and welcome
Out of curiosity, since you bought a manual, why did you not look for a GT

?

well when I got her, I didnt really go out looking for a vibe. I was just looking for a car with better gas mileage than my 4runner. I stumbled upon her at a local used car dealership and decided to get it because it was toyota made (for the most part). At that time i didnt know about all the different models of vibes. (but now I'm all about em!) Interestingly enough, I was driving around today and pulled up to a frosty GT at a stoplight. I already knew i was gonna be smoked, but tried to get a freindly race in anyways

needless to say, I beat him off the line, but while I was at like 5k in 2nd gear, he just took off like a rocket

But no hard feelings because I know that guy is gonna smoke some little fart can civic someday. Heheh. Anywho. Still love my girl, regardless of it being non-GT.

I was wondering if there was any way to mod an 03-05 supercharger to fit an 06? If there is i might try that sometime in the later future.
