I have made a decision to swap everything over to GPX.

Will make my own GPvR aero.

This is going to be interesting.. . ! 8O 8O 8O

Not he same and never will be the same and it's going to still be a gpx with no higher resale value than a gpx

yea..its damn near impossible to find the FTO with the combination I want.

I've suggested keeping both to my wife and it didn't go well.. haha too many toys.

Looks like Ill be sucking the life out of the vR and nobody might want it at the end. Then, I will have no choice but to keep both! But I'm not telling my wife that! HAH!

Yea I'm 100% committed. I built few cars over the years & have pretty good idea of what I'm in for. Only difference now is I don't have much time and have dodge wrist. Which means lot of $$ spent at the mechanic.
Oh I've changed the mechanic btw, this guys nothing like the previous mechanic. Haha never going back to the old place.!

Seems a shame for the vR. For another perspective, isn't the extra money you'd get from a vR with all the good bits still on it worth spending on mods for the GPX?

It is a bit aye..
Ill start looking for vR parts as soon as I sell vR with vR bits!

There's more to mods than just the extra stuff on the vR. :lol: though I do get why you'd want to swap everything.

Oh, since you have both models on hand also, is there any chance you could sus out the rear lower control arms for me? I've heard the vR ones are slightly more reinforced than the rest, but if you could confirm that would be cool.

Yah I just want you to compare them for me so if I ever come across another pair I can grab them if they are indeed better. ;)
