i run my VX 120 miles daily, up highways and city and i still get b/t 38-44 mpg. Uphills suck a bit but other than that i have no problem cruising around 75.

 

I'm doing an ex/vx Frankenstein trans

 

Cool. Any brand in particular you'd suggest?

I just got my hands on the aluminum a/c bracket.

Thanks for the input. I wanna drive one so I know just how much power I'd be losing. o:

I'd love to hear what your rpm gauge reads @ 65mph

 

just ask what his VX runs at 65. I am just gonna swap in the fifth gear from a busted ass VX trans.

 

:doh:

you shouldn't have to use spacers to run HX wheels, now the VX you do.

 

ex/si brakes y0..

i'll have to take some pix for ya.

At 2000 rpms im at 60 mph, at 2500 rpms im at 75 mph.

The HX should have the same size brakes as the ex and ABS SI. And they all take 14 in wheels standard. I can see where you would need them for the VX because they are only 13's. Maybe im not seeing it.:dunno:

 

Everyone has always said that the HX wheels require either a spacer or grinding the calipers to fit... I've never tried it personally. But I beilieve the HX wheels have a different offset or the spokes are further inbound, causing clearance issues with the calipers.
