How could you NOT pull the E-brake!!!??? :biggringr

[Cyrk]

Which one is faster?

Your mom is so going to kick your butt if she ever see's these videos! ;eeky; :smack: :laughy: :laughy:

[Dumke]

awesome.

[nfpgasmask]

LOL, awesome! I was doing that in the big lot here at work yesterday. The VX is really hard to get into a full donut spin cause of the short wheel base I think. It loves to slide but getting it to whip in circles is tough...

E-brake, people, E-brake! :)

[nfpgasmask]

So is that the trick?

As soon as I get my new brakes and rotors installed I am going to head up to the PLAYA and take some video.

You know what would be awesome? If Ascinder and CrnCnn join me and we get some REALLY B@D@SS video footage racing over the dry lake bed...

E-brake, people, E-brake! :)

[ZEUS]

That WOULD be a cool video! Do it... do it.

[onebadtrooper]

Yeah I forgot about the ebrake. I'm used to me 1st gen troop. Its got the pull type.

[onebadtrooper]

Which one is faster?


The amigo :p The 3.2 is only 10hp lower stock than the vx. So with the supercharger it brings it over the stock vx. plus the amigo is a 5speed

We got it dyno'd and found it was running lean. So we got some more work to do on it.

Unlike most other cars, I would NOT recomend pulling the e-brake up in the VX while sliding!

I tried this a couple of times over the years and it just causes the VX to nose dive and come to a complete stop. :_wtf:

lol

I was able to get my VX to do tight doughnuts before, I've since purchased new tires though and found this makes it tougher. I don't feel the shorter wheel base has anything to do with it at all.

Billy has an Ebony that was VXCaver
If you look at the name of who posted it should be billy. thats all part of the full video here (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=9603&highlight=world+premier).

[Triathlete]

Nope, that would be Bob (VXCaver) taking the "easier" bypass! Skidplates rule!!!!!!!! ;eeky;
Mine is the ebony with the roof rack....Victor (VCamilo) is th ebony with the tube grill and grill gaurd....both of which were doing the near nose stands! :bwgy:

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, skid plates are a must for you guys. I need to get some myself...

We got some snow a couple of days ago and I decided to put the E-brake to work - I've never done it with the VX. I got two results: Once in deeper stuff I just went straight. But the next time I was in shallower stuff and it slid sideways real nice. It may be hard to pull a controlled cookie but I imagine a full throttle surge after heading into that type of slide would be hella cool with the wheel cranked full turn! I hope to try it again next snowfall! :)

[ThirtyftFL]

I believe when you pull the e-brake in the VX the TOD senses the wheels slipping and engaeges the front wheels. That is the cause for the nosediving and going straight. LOL so no e-brake fun in a VX, unless you cut the previously mentioned blue wire, but then the gas pedal becomes way more fun than the e-brake! ;)

[ZEUS]

Nah, I got it to turn - you just have to time it right!

I have a VX and Amigo. Love them both. I thought that Isuzu would start making a 2 door SUV again. The Amigo/Rodeo was a very good looking vehicle next to the VX.
