[Jpuga87]

cant wait for the sun to come out . i have my mech comming over in the morning to get her fired up.

so far tommorow im installing a set of pro comp wheels on 31s ive had sitting in my garage forever. new plugs maybe an oil change & filter and fuel filter, and i might even order up a new fuel pump im sure the one in there is tired and in need of replacing.

any recommendations on some preventative maintenance i should do or parts i should replace.

Replace the PCV with the oil change, grease the rear axle shaft u-joints & run some seafoam through the intake, that'll make her purr.

Congrats on the purchase

No to Chevy 6-bolt. Those wheels have a smaller center bore. You want 6 bolt wheels designed for Nissan, Toyota, Isuzu...bigger center bore.

Yes and no. Chevy/GM OEM wheels probably won't fit due to the bore issue, but aftermarket wheels are often designed to fit GM, Nissan, Toyota, and Isuzu. Just need to check the bore measurement on anything before you decide either way.

bad news looks like im gonna need a new gas tank. nice custom opening flap for the fuel pump access.






im guessing the original owner was either oriental or a ninja lol.

Looks like you got yourself a "project" there - I hope you're still a young man!

I think this answers the question "when is 1600 bux not 1600 bux?"

But with a lot of TLC and removing the purple tint (I die), it should be good to go. Plus, you'll learn a whole lot more about your rig than you bargained for. Good luck!

That's gotta be some sort of testament as to how well the Isuzu fuse/relay box is sealed...

Lightly (2-3' away) go over the engine bay with a power washer & she'll look like showroom...though mine has run a "little funny" after such endeavors, she always comes back after the engine has heated up & evap'd all the moisture.

Hey, if this guy can do this to his Benz, then I think the VX can handle a little splash under the hood.

Still cringing,

O....M....F....G !

That's almost GOTTA be related...W T F...

OR, that's his cheat'n wife's car...

Could one of our Russian brothers PLEASE translate?

[vt_maverick]

Too bad he didn't zoom in on the VIN too... be nice to put that on a black list if you're an MB shopper.

Hey maybe this is just an advertisement for the quality of MB fit and finish - you know, like how watching 4 dumb-***'s bounce up and down on the doors makes me want to buy one because it's obviously so high quality.

Your 2000 Dragon VX #0475 used to belong to the following fellow members:

"fng1" (Kent, OH), Circa 2007 -- 2008.
"Rapp" (Kent, OH), Circa 2005 -- 2007. Pictures in link below of "Rapp" photo gallery (when it saw much better days).
"DragonVX" (Central Mass, MA), Circa 2000 -- 2004 (owned as a "lease" vehicle).

Perhaps you can contact these previous owner's via PM/E-Mail and find out more info about its previous history.

That Merc was probably left at Jiffy Park for a few days and used to conduct "business". That kind of wash is the only option after something like that.

That VX used to belong to fellow member "DragonVX" and he leased it. See "link" below:

Yowzer...nice search'n skillz Riff...

However, my guess is...someone who posted once, (yeh, 1 time) and was also leasing, prolly doesn't even remember owning a VX...

Not being my usual butt-head self here...just say'n...
