Hi Everybody
First of all, I would like to thanks this forum, because all of you helped me to take the right decision. Buy a VX. It tooks 3 months to take the final decision, my wife and my daughter are the one who push me, and we finally bought this car for 3 of us.
I didn't expect to have one, as in cambodia we mostly have Toyota / Lexus. But there was this VX Yellow 2001 in a website for more than 3 months, when my wife ask me to change our Jeep Willis (A2) 1967 to a "normal car" (I don't agree with her) I told her, there is only one car I want it is the Vehicross. She looked at the pictures and looked at me and reply, When? I was trap.
I sent her to check the car, then she came back and admit last week that the first time she seen the car, she touched it and pray by telling the car, "you will be my car". By the way my wife is Thai.
We then went to the process of purchasing it, and finally last friday we received it.
The car was dirt and some part are missing (but I am sure I will find the spare parts with this forum). We spent the week end together even our daughter cleaning the car and make it more beautiful.
This car is already unique, but in Cambodia, it is more unique than ever, this Yellow car in the middle of all the big black Lexus LX570, it is like me, I am european in an asian country.
I will post soon the pictures, but as you understand it is my wife car, and now she is driving all around with it. I decide then to send the Jeep to have a new painting and change some parts.
Thank you again and I am very proud to be one of yours

Heheh, that's funny! He wanted it and she's driving it. Men and women, the same world over.

Thanks for your help

That being said...the search function will usually provide answers to most of the commonly asked questions...:yesgray:
Sometimes you'll get stupid answers, but that's usually due to the unusal amount of WARP in the combined sense of humor around here...:laughing:
:luck:
Dear Ldub and others
Thank you for the help, I just downloaded some pictures of the VX

Very nice...:thumbup:
Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie here. I don't have a VX "YET" but hope to in the next week. I have a couple I am looking at. I'm still in the investigative mode though. I really want the Ironman, I'm very fond of the white...but very not so fond of the red/black interior.
I have been eyeballing them for years, and now in a position to get another vehicle and I'm determined to get a VX. My husband suggested I confirm availability of parts before going out and making the plunge. Maybe someone can offer their 2 cents on that subject. Especially if I get the red/black interior and want to switch it out.
I built VW's as a kid and really miss having something I can make my own. (Lift it a little, put some big tires on there, etc) My Benz is no fun for that kind of thing. :)

Interior parts can also be a challenge to get and you usually have to wait until someone is parting out a VX. I also have an Ironman and don't care for the red interior. There's options if you can't find a blk/grey interior for sale. My door panels have been painted black, steering wheel replaced and seats can be covered or reupholstered fairly cheap.
Good luck with the search.... :smilewink
I sold my iron man with a full black interior swap a couple years ago....I really miss it and want to buy it back or a new one. Any one know where it is now? Vin # 1207 :(
Welcome...
as our freind vxorado stated so well. searching for what you need (parts, repairs) is the key to owning a vx. I owned mine for a couple years before I learned this.
Interior components of the VX came from the Rodeo, and the Trooper 2Dr (Jappense market) was the base & drivetrain. You can also find some compatable parts on the Axiom ('02-'04).
I didn't really care for the black and red interior, but it grows on you too...
Last of all..... the members on this site are always available and willing to help.

I bought my VX today and I'm really excited, not just for my purchase, but to have such a great support system here. It's the 2001 Ironman that was on Ebay in NC. It will be here to me in Chesapeake, VA some time next week. It needs a little work, but nothing too drastic. Passenger window inoperable, windshield crack, etc. Anyone know of any VX togethers down here in southeast VA?
Yah, we get together every now-n-then. I drove up to Baltimore a couple of weeks ago for a meet. I've had a couple of wrenching events in my driveway in Fredericksburg in the past too. I've been thinking about trying to start planning a camping trip next summer at Assatique (sp?). We were shooting for a trip to the Outer Banks last month but it fell through. My wife & I get down to the Williamsburg area several times a year (last weekend as a matter of fact) so there's always an opportunity there as well. The possibilities are endless, it just takes someone to plan it.
I remember my VW Club days...we all had show cars and would caravan through several cities (day trip or weekend trip) 20-30 bugs, what an awesome site. Do you folks ever do that. We would start driving through a few cities and pick up more for the caravan as we went. We'd end up some place for a picnic or whatnot.
On a side note, my Ironman is getting delivered tomorrow night. :)
Grats on gettin your VX tonight.
This event happened back in 2008 in Luray, VA.

EDIT:
What Mav said below!!!
I didn't mention the meet at your place since she specifically mentioned 'road trip'. Luray was the only meet I've been to where I could find a pic of us lined up rolling down the road.
Allison - We did have a Hampton Roads meeting back in 2010, here are the pics:

The biggest cross-state type gathering each year is in Moab, UT. I went last year and it's a heck of a drive, especially with kids. But it was cool to see so many VX's (and so many different mods) all in one place. Here's a thread fast forwarded to the pictures for you:
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...t=22517&page=2
I live near Blacksburg now but I'm still in HR a couple times a month on business. I usually take a rental but if you and others in the area (Marlin lives in Norfolk) want to have a get together let me know and I'll drive the VX.
Welcome to the group! :thumbup:
Hopefully you were able to sleep. too excited? I wasn't able to sleep at all the night before I flew out to go get my vx, I caught a little nap during the fkight, Was standing next to the vx by 10am, driving home (500 miles) we got a chance to get to know each other.
Enjoy your VX.... We all enjoy our rides, and like to share experiences.

Should I post in a different thread? I'm still learning the rules of the site. I'd love to share some pictures too.
Grats on getting your baby home & in excellent shape...:dance:Quote:

Yes, by all means, move questions to a new thread, but have a look here for certain questions that have been answered in the past...
Also, look here for site rules, & how to post pics.
Welcome.
Let me help you with that JMNY...

Mercy.... that looks terrific!
I am a single professional guy in Florida who first saw the VX when my buddy who is now a Border Patrol agent took me to look at a new one on the Isuzu Lot. At the time I thought it looked a lot like a running shoe on wheels.... neither of us could afford one at the time and the VX slipped from my memory, until a trip to Yosemite in 2011 brought it all back.
I saw a VX in the parking lot of Curry Village and thought that it was a perfect size for me and my Dogs/Gear. I had just turned in my leased German sports car and so the search was on. I missed out on a 2001 Foxfire Red one by only a week this past spring, I still think I like that color the best! I finally landed a 2000 Dragon Green VX with 63K on it in Tampa last month.
Rear Seats are out, Dogs and Gear are in, and the fun is just starting!! :yeso:
Grats 63. Hope she's all you dreamed she would be. Don't worry, that stupid smile on your face won't fade with time.:)
OK,
Guy's and Gal's I live in wilmington nc and I have been looking for one of these beauties for years now and could not get the finances together at the right time.I absolutely love my vx it is still currently stock for the time being.As allot of everybody on here It will get a 3" lift and 32's I am gonna vinyl wrap the whole thing as soon as it arrives www.tiptopsigns sells the vinyl cheap depending on the style you choose.Mine is a 1999 with a 3.2l rodeo engine in it anyone live close by love to go to uwharrie and wheel?
I've seen Uwharrie mentioned several times here! I can't remember who the regular visitors are (wrong side of the country for me :(), but use the search feature at top of the page. If you dig through those older topics and sort by posts you will find some folks who go there from time to time. Don't hesitate to send private messages to them and you'll probably have some volunteers in no time! I remember seeing references to "Hallowharrie" - that sounds October 31st-ish to me so this might be the perfect time to ask some questions and put together a group! :)Quote:

I am going to purchase Henry's 2001 Proton
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=23286
And have it shipped to Mass sight unseen. I did this about 11 years ago, when I purchased a Triumph TR7 from southern California and it worked out great!
I am a Mechanical Engineer who has a passion for AWD turbo Mitsubishi's (DSM). I bought my first Eclipse GSX in '91 and have been hooked on them since! Back in the day, I had one of the fastest DSM's (running 10's 7-8 years ago, when it was somewhat unusual ;)), but my serious race car is gone and my latest Mitsu projects are:
'93 Eagle Summit AWD TSI (Eclipse race engine recipient)
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3117423/1993-eagle-summit
It is a small, AWD minivan that shocks lot of people running 12.0 in the 1/4 mile
'96 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST (receiving AWD conversion).
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/335255...ubishi-eclipse
'80 Triumpth TR7 (VERY LONG term project, being converted to the same 4G63
Mitsu Engine that is normally found in the Eclipse/Talon).
www.reitmanracing.com
All my life, I loved unusual cars, so naturally, I admired VX's since they first appeared in the late 90s. A few weeks ago, as I was looking for Mitsu Outlander as my daily driver, I found an ad for a VehiCross, and that reminded me just how much I liked these cars!
So... I found this forum, did some research and next thing I know, I am talking to Henry about purchasing his VX... It all happened kind of FAST!!!
I am not a bit off-roader, so I will probably keep it as well performing street truck.
Sweet, man! Can't wait to see what you do with the 3.5L, unless you decide to do a swap... then I'd be VERY interested in seeing what engine/trans you plop innit!(go for the 5.3 V8! ... or even the 6.0!)Quote:

Anyone familiar with the movie mission to mars? I know like probably 4 people in the whole world saw it but in the beginning of the movie theres a convertible vx and I just luv seeing it. The movie was on this evening so I thought I'd log on and finally post something. I wish they would have made it I would would have bought it for sure. Well bye for now I'll try to become a more active member unless I decide to sell him, p.s. I'm in S.A., TX
Why is Speedy sitting in your driveway. Did he break:confused:Quote:

I have had a 93 rodeo 4x4 5spd for the last 3 yrs and have truly enjoyed it. I was the 3rd owner and put a calming pre runner lift and torsion bars, and fixed it up, it only had 178,000kms when I bought it.
I remember when the vehicross 1st came out and though it was the coolest damn vehicle I've ever seen(I was 27)....but up north of the boarder in Canada I have only ever seen 3 of them, 1proton, one black, 1 white Ironman. Very rare up here.
So I'm I the process of getting rid of the rodeo and buying a 99 VX but with Canadian motor vehicle safety regulations and importing its just paper work before I get my VX obsession started.
If anyone is north of the border in Toronto area PM me
