yep... I had 3 motors (inc the original), 2x replacement diffs, 1 x rear cross member, 2 gearboxs, 3 clutches , 2 pwr steer racks (and don't talk to me about exploding brake discs )
in the first 20-25000kms with mine


been fine since

The other main hassle with this model is the exhaust - quietest and worst note of the lot, which gets frustrating with a V8.
stick a VZ cat back system (off an SS) onto the VX
its a 1 hr bolt on...the note is 'noice'
