    Well, if my tags aren't enough to discourage road rage like that (ARMY VET} vehicular assault gives me the right to defend myself in any means necessary. No one screws with me around here, no one has the balls.

    Well, ive had it with Florida, time to move. Guys n gals im opening a shop near Ellicott city MD. I grew up in the area but id like to say if you need help keeping you VX alive im open for buisness in the area starting say the 12th of May. Just VXs and RX-8s. Also one of my projects that I might be doing is a STI engine swap to the VX. It was a little conjested under the hood anyway and ive put alot of thought into it, theres only so much you can do with the stock engine and thought what would be a good reliable swap out plus STI parts are a dime a dozen. I just wounder if they have any kind of of auto tiptronick settups to replace the tranny?? Im going to see what it will involve. Also on the list, im pulling the body off to expose the rolling chassis, entirely. Beef up time baby. Plus I want to rework the wiring harness, other then on the body everything else just runs down the frame rail. Ive been planning a major overhaul since I dont plan getting rid of it anytime soon. Its time to build it to go 200K with out any major problems. Dont get me wrong, shes never left me stranded and its done her job very well but I cant wait to rework it and tighten the whole package up. Gotta get it done buy next winter.

    Ok, been a while since i posted. The VX is a 110k strong and still running great. I was in the prosses of replacing the brake pads, rotors and painting the calipers today and noticed the passenger side rear axel seal leaking, this is the secound time im gona need to do this. Its due to 1 of 2 things unlike the first time (towing a 35ft boat). 90+ crosscountry steady for 3 days at a time towing my Quad or I got sand in the seal some how maybe at Glamis or in the swamps of florida. Im not happy about it but what are ya gona do, well fix the f!!!!! thing. Im sourcing parts for the fix. Ive also reworked the PCV system. Im haveing better results keeping the oil clean for longer periods using a catch tank with a VAC on it. It keeps oil from being sucked into the intake like with the stock settup. Theres also no oil in the catch tank every time ive checked it. Ill post a pic when I get to it.
