One year on

[VX-157]

I had an annoying front end squeek, looked all over for it. It turned out to be the hood latch, I wrapped a little duct tape around the "U" on under side of hood and turned the bumpstops out a little and the noise has been gone ever since. I saw this on a thread here and thought 'no way' yes way, it was. Hope this helps, I hate squeeks and rattles.

Thanks for that tip, i have just adjusted the rubber stops and wrapped the "U" with some tape, went for a quick hoon and it has seemed to stop the squeek, tomorrow the drive to work will tell me if its worked or not.

Got pics? As another FoxFire owner I'd be interested to see a 175 model...

Yes! Great to have another Aussie on here! I'm working on bringing over a 1976 Falcon Coupe right now so I need as many mates down under as I can find!

Welcome, and yes, post pics!

Wow,
Your Foxfire looks quite a bit brighter than the USD versions.



As a fan of British vehicles, I would love to see someone take the RHD wing mirror on the left fender and reverse engineer one for LHD/right fender. I think that would be to mod of the decade and would make enthusiasts' VX's standout.

Any overseas members willing to loan a wing mirror? Anyone here smarter than me with more capabilities than I to produce a 'mirror' image of the RHD wing mirror for LHD use? I got all the ideas and none of the capabilities, but I can dream.

Welcome, Hetzer, and don't be a stranger, Bren.

I don't actually think that is technically a "Foxfire". Being a JDM model, I think there is another color name for this as it is more of a candy apple red than the deep maroon of the US market Foxfires. Somewhere out there is a JDM brochure with the colors in it.

I have the color palette book and it looks the color one down from the upper right corner. Now if only I could read Japanese...

Not keen on the mirror, but I'd love to have the JDM steering wheel...

Even better would be to have this: 2009 VehiCROSS

Speaking of fender mods, depending on how good I get with body work this summer, I been thinking about patching the hole where the side markers go so I can get rid of the side markers entirely.

It sounds like you actually have one of the very rare 175 limited edition VXs. There’s a Japanese web site that would be very interested in having you register your baby. Check out this link.
