ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

Hi all
As the title says im looking for a CJ lancer.
Just recently sold my r33 gtst and now looking
Thought i jump on the forums and do abit of researching so i arm myself with knowledge
Quick question though, whats the difference b/w VR and VRX?
Cant seem to figure it out
Been looking at VR's but dont know how the VRX differ
Any help, info or links would be appreciated
Cant wait to get my CJ
Cheers

The main difference is the VR is 2 litre and the VRX is a 2.4 litre with slightly bigger brakes. There will be differences in body kit and rims too eg The VRX has same rims and rear spoiler as the RA.

Someone with a VRX or VR should be able to provide you with more detail.

If your looking at buying new visit your local dealer and pick up some brochures, I think you can download from Mitsubishi website too.

Hope that helps!

Jade is partially correct , vrx - the late 07 to early 09 was a 2 liter after that the lancer vrx was a 2.4 this is what the vrx has which the VR does not ...

Front air dams - flappy bits at the bottom if the front bumper bar
Leather trim steering wheel and handbrake leaver
CF look alike interior trim
Seats that are more bolstered to hold u in... They are a great bucket seat
Larger vrx ralliart rear spolier - both sedan and hatch
Ralliart vrx 18 inch rims
Front and rear sway bars not all vrs had these
Front strut bar
Chrome accessent air vents
Some vrx have MMCS - multimedia system
Vrx well 99% of them have the premium rockford fostgate sound system
Not all VR have map lights or auto lights or auto windscreen wipers all vrx with exception of the early 07 model have this as standard
Better suspension set up - sport suspension (so they say)
Larger brakes


These are all extras on a vrx which you do not find on a VR unless someone has modified it

Hope that helps and good luck .... Trust me buy the vrx I have 3 of them

CHeers for the input guys. Seems like its worth the extra $ for the VRX?
Not sure how much i can stretch out my budget though but we see

What's your budget if you don't mind me asking?

If I were you, I'd go for a VRX. Because the VRX has a more powerful engine and it has all the extra gadgets and exterior parts. Infact, I sold my VR just today because I want a VRX. But it also comes down to your budget.

I don't think they're making VRs anymore. You might as well get a VRX.

budget is about 12k atm. Only aiming for a MY07-09 CJ

Hmm. I had a quick look on the market. It would be hard to find a decent vrx for 12k. Why dont u save a bit?:)

Yeah seems like i need to

I'll stack my VR against any stock VRX, cost 10.5, plus various mods done over 18 months

To be honest, with the 9 as the weekender I would personally go the VR, as it uses a touch less fuel = cheaper to run = more money for the ix

Other than the engine you're not really getting much more with the VRX that wouldn't costa few $ at a wreckers (eg front pods etc)

Cheer for the I put rye. Didnt know the VR uses less fuel then VRX.
Will take that into consideration
