Rain + Wet Roads + 2wd = :)

[crotchrocket]

had lots of smiles this morning in London :D

Roads were nice and wet so put the rear LSD and 2wd to good use and did a few drifts here and there, lol

Got some strange looks but guess people dont expect to see an off roader going sideways down baker street, lol :D

[Sprey]

Haha

When i first got the vx i was turning it around down the back of work on gravel it was in 2wd mode i punched the gas just a bit and ended up nearly doing a 360 :P.

Its wet as overhere at the moment. tho id like to do a few skids and spins. but if i got snapped id loose my license :(

[Rubicool]

2wd mode?? explain......

[crotchrocket]

JDM vehicross has 3 selections on the gear box. 2wd High, TOD High, 4wd Low..

Yup, and every time I get into my wife's Axiom and see that switch (not to mention the Direct Injection sticker) I wish I could do a transplant. (Not found to be possible so far, in case anybody's about to ask.)

That just isn't fair either. :p

That's cool. They don't have the rocket boosters, machine guns, and mobile cigar bar that ours came with, so its probably even.

Jap VX's have subtle differences -a 2wd option being one of them. Cloth seats, different headlights and marker lights, mirror on fender, rear view camera, 3.2 L motor...

Did not realise we have different headlights??

Unless it is just the LHD vs RHD aiming of the low beam??

More info on the BMW X5 Conversion. I know some others have started a conversion but I haven't seen a finished product ( unless I've missed the post) And does the X5 conversion use the original BMW starters, ballast, (if they use this process) wiring etc...

Everybody likes a xenon light, but if you just put the H4 xenon bulb in to VX headlamp it will light like sh.. mmm not so well))). I would like to explain how to insert bixenon lenses to VX headlamp, for the exellent light ).
All this pics shown a JDM headlamps wich is little different, but I think, technology is the same vith US VX headlamps. I used Hella lenses only, all the rest (bulbs, starters etc) is SHOME.

1. First, you have to put you headlamp in to the oven :eek: with temperature approx 100 C (Celsium!!!) for a 10-15 min, until hermetic bekame soft, than use screw driver or knife for removing a front glass (use gloves - it is HOT:))

http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347544.jpg

2. Take out all the parts, remove a reflector, for the next step

http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347550.jpg

3. prepare reflector for lens applying

http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347555.jpg

4. 90 mm Hella bixenon lens (a lot of europinean cars produsers using it) bulb type is D2S/D2R.
http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347538.jpg

5. apply lens in reflector's body, you have to remember about "horizont line" when applyuing lens.
http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347559.jpg

6. when the horizont and vertical position is right, fix the lens in reflector's body

http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347565.jpg

7. install reflector back in to the headlamp

8. Than we can see ugly cuted reflectors surface, I used a plastic folder to make a cover :bgwo:

10. Do not forget to run out the shutter driver's control wires as shown
http://claus.fotoplenka.users.photofile.ru/photo/claus.fotoplenka/150076224/xlarge/152347534.jpg

11. put the front glass back on to the headlamp and use oven again :smilegray to apply all surface right.
