I have been toying with the idea of the twin tubes myself,preferably in chrome molly to keep the weight down over the front end, yes its not cheap,but every bit of weight saved is performance gained . Same with the LED light bar ,less wind resistance,less overhang to get caught up on off-road,and fr...

not on my old red RX,i meant my wagon.

Love the bar work,i think the front and rear would look good on mine with the spare wheel carrier and led's:)

Back from the dead ! Funny, I fitted up rear shocks and springs from my FWD Vortex to my AWD Vortex and it sat so low something wanted go CRUNCH as I let the jack down. Looked nice and low, but too low - you go fit FWD rears and sits to high ?? Howsabout you measure rear shock from centre of bottom...

A few pics of the toys,if anyone needs a project or 2,i'm open to suggestions.The engines out of the vortex at the moment,but if someone wants it i have 2 ej22's and a 25.At this stage i don't want to part with any engines.I have 6 cars and unfortunately i can't do everything.

Thanks Bennie,my main concern is the front cross-member,from what i've read a turbo manifold for a ej20/25 won't clear the wagon's as it's a different shape and RX turbo/vortex front members are ok ,basically any car that came with a ea82 turbo is suitable ,non turbo = no go.It will be a shame to re...

Hey guys,i've decided to bite the bullet and start the transference of my Vortex running gear over to the L series parts wagon. The Vortex was running a ej22 and i think a liberty box ( anyone familiar with Shufbug's old Vortex,well that is the one).I say was,because the engine was removed earlier i...

Yeah i came across those Gotti wheels awhile ago ,i was seriously considering importing some when i had the RX ,but i think they are around $500 per wheel! From memory you can have them in sizes up to 12 inches wide.....just checked,make that 14 inches wide! http://www.gbsalpine.com/wheel/gotti/tari...

It's unique anyway.

Cheers Jake

I like the wheels and the colour,the rest,um,dubious!

Looks abit under-tyred ,but there we have it. Vortex on sunnies.

All in good fun,like i said didn't mean to insult anyone,and i forgot to put that sentence in Steptoe "each to their own",couldn't agree more,individualism is what makes our world interesting. Please Toonga don't take what i wrote too seriously,i wrote it with a smile on my face,and its easy to misc...

I was just having a look at what's happening in the land of the Vortex,when i cam across your pics Toong. When i seen the first pic,i thought "wow,that looks good in white,and the stance looks spot on,"and then i seen the next pic......YUCK! Why? Why? Why?. It reminds me of several things: A young ...

See if you can notice the difference before http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/toonga/Photo0520.jpg after http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/toonga/20131013_070901_zps4bbfdb09.jpg New front struts with standard springs and 2 inch strut lifts, the rear got the shock spacer. A big thanks to R...

Hi Andrew,i have an 89 touring wagon,white,straight,very little rust,interior is immaculate,all electrics work (including windows),aircon is nice and cold,mpfi ea82 was rebuilt at one stage and once its warmed up you can hardly hear it run its that quiet. Downside is at the moment it needs the right...

I have a 89 l series touring wagon ,has a rebuilt mpfi,silky smooth box,nice icy aircon,nice straight body with minimal rust,very clean interior and i mean VERY,however it is in SA and needs: rear wheel bearings, and maybe another fuel tank depending how keen you are,as the tank is living in my vort...

I have a pretty good Vortex in Adelaide.I'm always getting comments on how "that can't be the original paint..." and its a nice colour combination of electric blue and white interior,however its not front wheel drive anymore,its all wheel drive and its running a turbo ej22/EJ25 HEAD COMBINATION,or w...

My vortex did the same thing yesterday,someone didnt have a lid on the overflow bottle did they...

Car's looking good especially with the black spoiler on the front,gives it a completely different look.

Brumby http://liveimages.carpoint.com.au/carpoint/car/private/cp5605464544547728644.jpg You can buy these rims as blanks off e bay and have them drilled,and after seeing the results,i'm glad i didn't! They'd probably look ok with big tyres if you wanted that big,offroad look which is not what i'm a...

I like the optional Momo steering wheel.
