Ok, so I got my hands on a set of rear coilovers from the Mazda MX5 Roadster, like I was planning. The bottom was fine, the height was great (looking at the shocks themselves). My problem.... The vortex strut assembly has a coil cap, and a top mount, and both are seperate units. The Mazda strut asse...

Hey Fury. Yeah, the graphics do make people look, but sometimes it is just the "what the hell kind of car is that?!!" look too. I am aware of the limitations of too much boost on a standard engine, long before I found the topic on the internet. I had a mate (long time ago now), who informed me of th...

Oh yeah, I forgot, I have a boost guage, and have upped the boost to about 13-14psi using a standard T-piece.

I do remember a while back about inverting the top mount to lower it a bit more, and I rember, when I tried it, there was not enough clearance to put the pin through. Might have to drill a hole above the strut. Getting the shocks off is easy for me.... I have a rattle gun. Have used it so many times...

Hey Suparoo, Yeah I get that comment about the wing all the time... some love it, some hate it. The best comment so far was....."has Quantas asked for their wing back yet?" Last time I tried the shock manufacturers, all had either the stock replacement, or nothing. King will manufacture a spring to ...

The rims were already on the car. I was lucky and they are 14", currently with 205/60's all round. All my others have only had 13" rims. I have looked around for bigger, buto nly found 2 styles anywhere, and they are both butt ugly, and still only 15". To me, it is not worth the expense of changing ...

There are a few pictures in the Members Rides area.
But not with the back lowered yet.

Yeah, I understand the nasties with cutting the springs, and I do not wish to drive on them. It is just because I needed the measurements of how low I wanted it, and how much suspension travel I needed to hold the new ones. With the normal vortex sturt, and spring, the front is so low, you practical...

Hey guys, Just thought I would show you all what I have, and what I have done. As with most, it is still in progress, and will be revived this year, after about 2 years sitting around awaiting a part to repair. Specs... 1989 Subaru Vortex Full-Time 4WD Turbo 1.8l EA82T Under the hood (Standard) 3" I...

Ok guys, I have read through this forum as much as I can and cannot locate an answer to this dilema. I am lowering the Vortex. I already have Monroe Lowered Struts, and Super-Low king springs in front, which eaqual a nice low ride at the front. The back is a different story. I have (oops!) cut about...

I Had a 1985 Subaru Vortex 4WD Turbo back in NZ (my first of 4 in total), and it had ALL the jap specs, including the digital dash, but nothing like in the photos in this forum. It was a full LCD dash, which even showed a picture of a car, which raised and lowered according to the height control of ...
