    Japanese VX's

    Was looking around the web and stumbled on this site with a bunch of Japanese VX's on it. The guy shows how he did all his mods. Can't read the instructions but you can make most of it out by the pics. Under Owners Rides a bunch of other Vx's and their mods.
    Thought it was kinda cool to see what some others were doing

    Yep I've always like those links, cool VX's...THEY DO MOD's. We've only scratched the surface on some mod's compared to them, (mainly there street mod's) but the members here hold the Crown on OFF-ROAD Mod's...

    That interior of his is crazy. Looks like an airplane cockpit.
    If you click the little symbles in blue on the left of the pictures he shows step by step how he did them.

    Nice find! I think I counted 22 VXs in one of their pictures. I believe in Moab we had 19 or 20 VXs.

    Think of the children. The record must fall in '09 at Moab.

    Peace.

    Yeah, but some of the mods include magnets on the fuel lines, the vortex thingy in the intake, and if I'm not mistaken, a rack full of marbles glued to the top of the engine.

    A magnet on the oil pan makes some sense, but for everything else, I just want to shake my head. I feel like I should fly over there and repossess his supercharger.

    Those taillight covers were available for a while - in carbon fiber even!

    But the lenses are clear too:



    Or am I wrong? Is that just the cover?

    To think he pulled off a well-designed custom OEM spoiler and put on that aftermarket wing instead is a bit beyond comprehension.
