ok, ive been told that there is no difference between the tj sports and vrx :confused: is this true?
can someone please piont out all the differences to me ( no matter how small, im aware of the body kit difference!)

i will be looking for a tj vrx at the end of the year, but if the sports are the same, ill think about getting one of them ( cheaper to buy and insure :nuts: )

thanx in advance!

TJ series one the VRX had passenger side airbag and body kit over the sport (added about 50kg). Series 2 the VRX gained 17" rims over the Sports 16".

Same Power, and apart from the bodykit, Sports 16" Rims, VRX 17" (series 2 VRX)(see my profile for a pic of Sports w/17's), the VRX has a Chrome exhaust tip, different writing on the seats (sports or VR-X), VR-X sticker on the engine instead of Sports Sticker etc.

thats cool, thanx guys!

i think ive just made my mind up, im going to get a sports

got some insurance quotes today. these are all based on a 2002 tj ,insured for $25ooo

VRX- $889

Sports- $711

Ralliart- $1483

i dont care about the different stickers, and ill be changing the exhaust and wheels anyway, and a sports will be a bit more of a sleeper!

i cant wait! just gotta keep saving those pennies :cool:

Too true, and they go damn hard for what they are...

Find a manual though, well worth the extra effort looking:dancin:

VRX does look a lot better though. And they might have the only mitsubishi wheel I dont dislike.

That's my plan, a TH sports is even more of a sleeper :cool:
The sports looks better than a VRX anyway, imho.

The Sports has a downward facing pipe.

The VRX has a chrome tip.
