Hey guys, do any parts of a Brumby fit a 89 Vortex? Got a guy close by with Brumby parts from $10. Thought I might be able to pick up some spares.

Nice. I think that model in one of the sexiest looking Subies ever made.

Hey guys, I'm looking at doing one of two things to my Vortex down the track, either lower it down low as or raise it and beef up the suspension. What is the chassis like in a Vortex? I know it's not a off road 4wd but if I raised it and beefed up the suspension would it be able to handle going off ...

Thanks mate, I'll look at that thread and give it a shot. Problem, my car doesn't want to start without atleast a little touch of the pedal, turns over 2-4 seconds before it fires. Starts straight away when it's at operating temp.

Hey guys, just a question about the ecu on my Vortex. I know with newer cars that if you disconnect the battery and reconnect it, when you start the car you're meant to do it with no ga pedal and leave it idling for 10 mins so the ecu can remap and set the engine right. I've done it myself with my 9...

There's a 86 Vortex owners manual on eBay for anyone interested. Here's the link: http://m.ebay.com.au/itm?itemId=161269222614

Just wondering what spark plug you guys reckon is best for an EA82T? And is there any point buying better leads?

Hi, got a call from a guy in QLD looking to sell his Vortex, if anyone is interested his name is Garry, 07 34095081 or 0417 730 687. Not sure what year or the details but he did say it was lowered 2 inches and he had a new windscreen for it. I think he would prefer to sell the whole car but you can ...

Hi, I changed the bulb in my indicator on the outside of the guard on my 89 Vortex, thought that would be it but it won't work, all the other indicators work. Any ideas? Thanks

Damn, you're right about those centre caps. The motions look sweet on the wagon.

Anyone know if the service manual for the 88 vortex has a section that covers the turbo. Looking but can't find anything.
Canny

Any of you Vortex owners have body kits of your car?

Thanks guys. Ill have a look in my service manual later. These 5 ring binders of Subaru service manual that came with the car have been a blessing.

I'd really like to get to 205 width tyres.

No, it stays the same

Hey guys, I'm looking at some new rims for my 89 Vortex 4wd and I want to know how big of a wheel can I fit under it without it scraping and how wide the rim/tyres could be without it doing the same. Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, I had a little hose come loose the other day, bit of water leaked out but I'd only just started the car so no damage. Tightened ring clamp and it was fine but now my car makes a strange noise when's it's going, I'm hearing what sounds like water rushing through a pipe. It's not leaking wat...

Thx mate. Strange having the handbrake operating on the front brakes.
Canny

Thanks guys, it's says to take the handbrake cable off but doesn't really show how. Does it just come of with a pair of pliers?
