Time for me to take off the dust in this thread, I have some good news for the Vortex, I managed to find a set of Vortex XT6 front and rear breaks and hubs from Japan, but the only problem that I had is the air ride suspension / shocks was more than I could afford because I got out bidded. Is there ...

still here too, but no progress on my vortex as I just bought a house

so theres no more monies left for a while lol

tell me about it, ever thought about doing an engine conversion?

I know its expensive and you have to add postage too so it properly ends up being around 4k, only problem is that Cross B doesnt make the kit anymore, would be great if they started making the kit again.

Thanks for the reply guys, I dont think I would redrill the original hubs, just depends if the person stuffs something up I dont have any replacements lol. I did get a reply back from Simons and they can make the rim to any width and offsett so now its just a matter of time i can get some cash and f...

I remember when I was looking for a boss kit for mine I got in contact with SAAS to get one made, they will need a photo of your existing boss kit & (going from memery here) the teeth and spine diameter (someone will correct me here) if you are able to get one made let us know and I'll get one for m...

Just got a quote back from Simmons They are $770 each wheel in 3 piece and need 4 weeks to make them. I have also asked what the rim width is and offset and once I get an answer I will post the details up, fingers crossed we can make it all work and hope it helps someone who is also looking for some...

Thanks for the reply guys, I'm waiting to get a quote and some specs on the rims. When you put larger wheels on a car can you get it celebrated to suit the speedo? Also if the wheels get bent, I’ll just end up crying lol As I am a long way from this stage for the car, it is just getting quotes and s...

Hey guys, Just wanted to know if it is possible to fit 17's onto a Vortex without adjusting the ride height. As I had some free time and I wanted to know if you can get custom wheels made with the 4x140 stud pattern so I contacted Simmons Wheels and they said they can make them to any stud pattern. ...

Found a nice Vortex last night on Gumtree I had a quick chat with the owner and he was nice to chat to, his also go all these spares for ea81 engines and other stuff, its worth having a chat with him and you might be able to find something else you are looking for :) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/t...

Thanks for the reply Fuji, when i removed the pump all the fuel came out so i put a fresh 10L in it but only 91oct, before the car was running (years ago) it was running with 91oct in it, should I drain it and put 98oct in?

Hey everyone, just an update :) I have put the new Goss Fuel pump in the car and now I am getting fuel to the engine, after trying to start the car for 30 min (giving breaks in between), I had a small start but it shut itself of after 2 seconds, I tried again and it will not turn itself over. I noti...

Would love to get a full set of those, is there a number we can call to find out more info?

Just use the Jack as you normally would and put the stands on, just make sure the car is on a complete flat surface and make sure you have a good set of stands. Lately when I raise my car to work under it (I've taken my fuel pump out and about to put the new one in) I have been using the rails and u...

Hope this helps mate

Thanks for the reply Steptoe, the pipe to the tank didn't fit and the pipe to the fuel lines (connecting to the engine bay area) didn't fit aswell, what would be the best thing to do?

Hey everyone, just a quick update, I have the eninge block back together and having an issue with replacing the fuel pump, when I removed the old one and put in a bosh 910 pump it didnt fit (as I purchased thia pump awhile ago and the guy at the shop said it would fit) I have been to a few autoshops...

Hey guys, Just a quick update, I have received all the parts from Japan, when I get some time off I will take the trim to a 3D printer place so I can get a few extras made if anyone is interested :) On the other news my Uncle and I are almost done putting the engine back together and we just need to...
