Probably I don't have to say I started to love the car more and more every day. Unfortunately I had to sell it after we started our business and I really felt bad. After I was VX-less... I kept looking at adds and parts on Ebay. Don't know why it's just felt good. Funny isn't it? About one month ago a friend come from Hungary and asked me if I could suggest a good 4WD car to use in New Zealand. Of course I told him about the VX and find a blue one for him in Auckland. Well that was even worst because I started to feel I like to have one again. Than something happened a few days ago. I'v got a message from a local auction house that there will be a 99 Lava Grey up for auction. I thought I can't afford it at the moment but we can have a look at it. So went down and find a Limited Edition beauty. Who can resist something like that? I bought it! So I have my second VX now and very happy with it!

Hi Matt great history & welcome to the brotherhood.

Those 175 limited edition VX got very nice looking colors.

When ever you got the opportunity post some pics

You have couple of fellow members in NZ,one of them is SPREY.

Have a good one

I am the proud owner of a 2001 Proton VX, the only one with red and black leather interiors I might add, it looks sweet!:grinr:

Regarding the red interiors. Funny story; I work with two more people (husband and wife) that "randomly" owned the same Silver VX each (yeah, I was as surprised as anyone when getting there on my first day of work and saw the two VX�s on the parking lot� what are the odds?).

The engine of one of them blew up recently and to replace it was more money that to sell it by parts. I talked to my coworker and we decided to trade interiors on that VX and we did... including the steering wheel, panels and knobs with amazing results� now, that is my own personal opinion. He kept everything usable for his own VX and donated what was left of it... Pictures to come... (By the way, how can I download a picture on my profile?)

Welcome Sagraz! I�d love to see the pix.

**JoFotoz** · 04/16/2009, 06:02 PM

Where did he "donate" it too...

Is it available for others to get parts from?

**sagraz** · 04/17/2009, 12:05 PM

I do not know who he donated to, but if I'd known, I'd like to get my hands on the windshield that was recently cracked on the *one day* snow storm we have here in the Carolinas and because of limited insurance, I have to pay full price... (It sucks!). The rest of the car was auctioned...

Moncha, I meant that I can not *UP-LOAD* and it is not that I am completely computer illiterate (I am old but not that old) but my computer is not that friendly with me ... any ideas?

**JoFotoz** · 04/17/2009, 12:12 PM

If you work with them , can you ask??

Welcome Rob: If the Military will pay to re-locate you back to the states. Pickup a JDM Version of the VX and have it re-locate with you and be the only (I think) JDM/Right hand drive VX in the lower 48. And if you get it in the country and don't like it, I have a buddy that is a rural Mail Carrier and he would jump all over it...BTW.. WELCOME ! !

I got my vx about a month ago... my wife and I were driving along, just minding our own business and this vx was at the end of a driveway with a for sale sign ... guess the rest. I have always wanted one but never had the opportunity... ( I had just gotten my tax return $ , muahahahaha !!)
dont have a manual though and will surely be in need of others advice .
actually , heres a question already.....what is the "power" button used for ?
I know , power, but how does it work ? i.e. more torque? I dont wanna use it until I know what its function is...\
anyway , I love my vx.. live in upstate ny ( near ct./mass. borders)
work for verizon, have 2 dogs 3cats 17 chickens and guinea fowl 2 parakeets
thousands of honeybees ...blah blah blah

Welcome Jonny,

You will quickly find the answer to many common VX questions by using the "search" function at the top. The Power Button just happens to be one of those questions that comes up regularly.

Anyway, welcome....and if you screen name is a reference to Mad Max, then COOL!!!!

It changes the shift points in the transmission.It drives a little sportier.Most people turn it on and never turn it off.Winter button starts the truck in 3rd so less slipping on snow and ice.
