How should I raise my new baby?

[WormGod]

Only has 6200 miles? Garage it, put a cover over it, and turn out the lights. Dont open the door to the garage for 60 years. That has got to be a gem right there. Thought I was fairly low with 36k miles, but you take the cake and the icing too.

Do what you want with it. Cant tell a man (or woman, sorry Anita) how to raise his VX. However you decide to raise it, just enjoy it. Thats the key. I have enjoyed my last 5 years of VX parenthood and spoiling her never gets old.

Vehix,

I have put my car up on all 4 jacks, and with the Aisin hubs unlocked and the car in drive the front wheels do not turn.

Ditto on the dubs, the handling will go to crap. Get lighter wheels and (better)tires(turn the Stones into tire swings)stick to no more than the 18's you got...wider though...265 or275 won't cause much trouble . Get a set of nice,steel,brakelines and you're on your way to making a great car better. Pull the back seat (unless you REALLY need it)bloody useless anyway.Get runflats...ditch the heavy,inconvient spare. You might look into a CF hood insert, and lose the weighty OE one. Last, dump the 55gal. drum of a muffler Isuzu gave you...something throaty but not obnoxoious. KEEP THE STUFF YOU TAKE OFF/OUT. none of these changes void or harm anything and can be easily undone. did I say get a K&N airfilter? Get a K&N air filter. These are the few things I've done (plus change all lubricants,grease and all, to Mobil One. My times improved,no problems at all,and now with 21000 miles,it is getting 21 and 22 mpg routinely! This is flat Florida. Think light. MY $.02.......Wayne

Vehix,

Really? What speed did you take it up to while it was on the jacks? TOD doesn't kick in until about 7 mph IIRC. I'm not doubting you, I just thought that this was impossible without removing the front drive shaft or having a TOD disconnect mod.

the tires won't turn but the rest of the front drivetrain will

Like area51 said, its the just wheels that arent spinning, but afterall, when I made the comment originally, I was talking about traction. Vehix, I really cant remember the speed, wanting to say 30-40mph, it started making my antilock system freak out, even made the trouble light come on, but reset itslef shortly after getting back on the ground with normal driving.

Gotcha! Thanks for explaining
