    That's why we welcome each new member to the 'addiction'.

    The VX isn't a perfect fit for everyone ... but most owners would never be caught without one in their driveway ever again.

    Just a quick introduction

    Hi Everybody,

    Robert here from South Africa. After spending the last 2 years dreaming about importing a VX from Japan or the UK (we drive on the lhs of the road here), a mate of mine stumbled accross a '00 VX already in the country (the only one as far as we know) up for sale. Well, taken by surprise, we jumped at the opportunity and subsequently bought it as a joint venture. So I am now a very pround owner of a Firefox red VX Yabadabadoo!

    Unfortunately the previous owner had little respect for the VX and abused the interior somewhat, which means we need to find quite a few parts, some of which cannot be sourced in the US as this is the JDM. Anyway, I am really excited and looking forward to getting it back into showroom condition.

    I am an Isuzu fanatic and now own 4 of them (well 3 1/2). I have 2x '98 Trooper's (one standard and the other modified for competition) and a '00 3.2L V6 Supercharged crew cab, also modified.

    I look forward to chatting to you all.

    Cheers

    Welcome Impi...great to have you here.

    Be sure to check out the JDM and UK threads for others who also drive on the "wrong" side of the road...

    Nice looking VX Impi! But you don't have a Foxfire VX... that color was never produced on the JDM models. Looks like you have one of the these three colors, although it's hard to tell in the picture.

    Code 745 - Raspberry Mica - 5 produced
    Code 756 - Radian Red - 19 produced
    Code 808 - Brilliant Red Mica - 10 produced

    Of course that's assuming the PO didn't repaint your VX. If not then congrats on owning a really rare color!

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the welcome and the info.

    VT_Maverick, I took a look at the colour code on the VIN plate, and it is 872. Any idea what the colour code is?
    The vehicle is still the original colour and has not been repainted.

    Believe that would be Red Rock Mica...nice color indeed!

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on what to look for in purchasing a VX. I decided not to fly in on one I had spotted. The price was just not right and it came from PA. So I'm still looking...

    Stay patient cdvntx, when it's meant to be you'll find what you're after.

    MH & Impi - 872 is "Leadlock Mica" according to the Wikipedia site. That doesn't sound like a red, but I don't have my 25 Color brochure nearby so I can't say for sure. I'll let you know Monday.

    Just bought a 2000 Foxfire, last one I could find currently in CO had to jump on it. I've waited too long to own one of these.

    Welcome to the madness...lots of CO members around.

    This is the place for the information and fun that you need...

    Did you buy the one from Rich up in Longmont?

    Interesting, according to the color guide 872 is a red and was one of the main colors offered on the JDM VX (which seems to mesh with the reported production number of 125). MH I've heard the color "Red Rock Mica" as well, but the Wikipedia page indicates Leadlock Mica. Maybe it's a typo? Too bad I don't know Japanese or I'd translate the color guide text myself.

    Thanks, already finding tons of great info. No, I bought the one from Stan's Auto. I didn't even know about the ones in longmont until today, never saw them on CL, Autotrader, or cars.com. I didn't check ebay either, I needed to go to a dealer since I didn't have cash. Although, I got mine for a lot less than he's asking.

    Thanks for the info guys! Leadlock Mica sounds like a Japanese translation gone wrong of Red Rock Mica , so perhaps we settle for Red Rock Mica for now.
    vt_maverick, have you tried any google translators perhaps?

    Oh yes, I am a HUGE fan of the Google Translator tool. Use it to read the Japanese and Russian VX forums/sites all the time, as well as read news articles from overseas. Probably one of the coolest tools Google has ever created.
