    They are definitely rare. About a week driving it now, and I already had people come to me and ask me, “Who makes it?” or my favorite “Are they available to buy already?”

    Forgot to mention, I went to get emissions done, and the VX did not fit in the 4WD/AWD bay, turns out the wheelbase is too short. I asked, how about the Audi TT or Golf GTI AWD, they said that those fit. They ended up doing only a tailpipe test.
    I went back to work, I have a friend with a GTI and another one with a TT, and sure enough, the VX’s wheelbase is SHORTER! That is crazy

    I bought my VX in Miami. I live in Daytona Beach. I had planned on taking it to Colorado with me but one week ago a friend was driving it when it over heated. I dont know how long he drove it for but the head is completely warped. So now it seems to be a big risk to put in new head cylinders (not sure I know what that is) at $1400 when I dont know what the extent of the damage is to the block. I am mildly mechanically inclined and probably only know enough to do damage.
    Does anyone know a good place to get an engine new or used?
    Are there any upgrades I should do considering the extent of this work?
    I love my VX and dont wish to get rid of it regardless of Isuzu pulling out.
    I apologize for being so ignorant on the vehicle but there is only so much time in the day to invest so any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance and I hope I get the chance to reciprocate...

    You should start a seperate thread on this topic for better results.
    Not everyone reads this thread every time there is a new post.

    FWIW, I think Tone (use search) has a set of heads for sale, but it's been a while since I heard that.

    Is it true that the guy that designed the VX also designed the FX35/45?
    I'm not sure about the FX35, but I am pretty sure the same designer is behind the Nissan Murano, but don't quote me on that...

    New to me Proton

    Hi Everyone,

    Recently grabbed a 2001 Proton out of New Jersey. It's new home is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I have not seen another one here.

    69k miles, 0643

    Changed tires to Kumho 255/55R18 and put Trooper face plates on the tach and speedo to get km/hr marking as required for Canadian importation along with daytime running lights.

    I will be watching oil consumption!

    Anyone know the history on this one?

    2000, Kaiser Silver, 47,500 miles

    New Home Ogden Utah.

    Looking forward to learning from everyone!

    Immediate mods planned.

    Line-x / Rhino Line all the cladding matching as close to possible to the stock color.

    And a Hitch... Still haven't figured out which route I'll go on that, probably a custom hidden job.

    Tone sells a hidden hitch (at least he used to).

    Hello folks. My name is Jason and I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I'm near Hatteras, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Duck, Corolla, etc. I'm interested in getting a VX. I had a lot of questions but I found all the answers (so far) by using the search. So thanks!!

    My main problem with finding a VX is that I'm in a fairly remote area and most shippers don't really want to come all the way out here. I am out of the way no matter where you are going...unless you are going to Ocracoke. I might have to fly somewhere and drive one back but I've been pretty busy lately and might not have the time.

    I also have a short attention span so I might forget all about the VX and be onto something else in a week!! What was I saying?

    Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks to all that answered my questions before I even asked them.
