I reckon a VRX wagon would look good, and provide the space to carry all the stuff I need. Not having a 5 speed tiptronic would be painful though.

Has anyone kitted a wagon up to VRX specs?

yeah VRX_MY02 has done one

Yes, I ahve done 2 of them, The above car was done by me and then my own wagon is also fully kitted out as a VRX, well at least is at the moment as the kit is soon to come off and be sold off

The rear bar can be fitted to the wagon bar with some modifications, you need a good plastic fabricator but can be done and looks factory

There is always this as a good base.

I'm in the starts of a TH exc to VRX / sports wagon

Cool, thanks SHOOTs, haven't seen that model before aswas never sold here in NZ. Body kit is a bit soft but the drivetrain and suspension is a good start over the standard wagon.

My ride thread for the wagon is here (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83342&p=1323864)

Excellent job - well done

i have the tj sports wagon , really nice heaps of room , and for stock suspension very liitle roll and still good on rough roads , could do with some sway bars

they have swaybars

i havnt looked , rear as well
, ?
and if they do they need to be stiffer

A good set of rear shocks will help alot. Speak to Madmagna (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/member.php?u=18), he has some Boge dampers in his wagon at the moment.

my brother has a TH wagon with a TJ VRX front lip and side skirts.. he got lazy on the rear bar and just went sportswagon rear pods

he has one of the rare manual TH Advance wagons- it's not exactly spec'ed out as a VRX but it has a cat-back exhaust, Lovell SP front springs with Koni Yellow struts and low rear springs with KYB shock absorbers, whiteline adjustable sway bar, TL/TW 17" wheels and AWD front twin calliper brakes.. so it's somewhat close to a VRX setup
