i think if i had some money burning in my pocket... i would buy those tank tread things for the VX.....that would look SOOOOO badarse...

plus it would kick arse for backcountry snowboarding :_drool:

i think jo has a photoshopped version of his VX with them on.

49's (what is on the jeeps in the vids) with 4-6 PSI will walk through deep snow as easily as those tracks. Plus they fit the wheel wells better!

Pretty Trick for a Trick Price but for "off-road" use only so this toy would be a trailered spare ride. Like Billy said, if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, it is no big deal then and you probably have a trick Diesel Pusher and a nice trailer for the rig anyways....

I have money burning a hole in my pocket and am going through the process of picking this up at a local dealer soon (but in black/obsidian.... to match the VX)....

That looks pretty sweet although I think I would change out those rims ASAP, they look like the GMC, Camaro 5 spokes, it just looks odd to see a very american looking rim on a foreign car, you know what I mean? Maybe if they were powder coated to match the car with a little wider tire on there that would look better, what do you think?

Well, I took delivery yesterday. And yes, the wheels are different. Multi-spoke BBS in silver. !@#$ing beauty! I will try to get some pics as soon as th erain here decides to stop spitting on me.

The wheels are 18x8.5 and I suppose I could go a tad wider. I would like to do that and get about a 1/2" drop.

She is fun... fun.... fun. Still getting used to a REAL tranny over that sludge box I had in the WRX though. :cool:

Looks good....but a slight bit of threadjacking to say the least.

NICE!!!!! I have Tein S-Tech springs on my rx-8 and I love the drop it gave me there, it was like 1.5" in front and .8" in rear, just perfect to level the whole car out. You going coilovers?

I honestly haven't given any thought to mods yet. I tend to wait till I hit 3-4k miles before I do anything to get a feel for what I would like to do. But, as history has shown, I usually go with suspension and exhaust first. I seriously don't think I am gonna do ANY performance mods on this one. MPG is already bad enough for a 60 mile daily commute, heh.
