Thanks for that, cant wait to see the photo's

Hi everyone, i am considering getting some alloys for my vortex, the stud pattern is standard 4 (not sure what the sizes are for it) but I've heard you can put some Peugeot rims on some subaru's, so I would like to know if anyone has done this and also would the Peugeot 504/505 14" rims would fit on...

thanks for that m8, i'll keep an eye out for it

why have cool hub caps when you can install coolest alloys?

Unfortunately I don't know where to find alloys for this car because of the stud pattern, if you know a place that has alloys please let me know

Yer you can have the rear brakes lol, does harvey's wreckers have a website cos I cant seem to find 1, also I call dibs on any interior parts, dashboards and cool hub caps:P

Looks like I gotta go check it out, I heard that centre road wreckers have a warrenty on their parts or something, please correct me if I'm wrong, I wanna see if I can get the window wiper motor out of that cos mine is pretty much gone,

Nah i bought this car from my uncle, he had this car sitting on his farm for 6 years and then we moved it to this other farm so I can try and work on the car.
Do you know if they still have the vortex at centre road wreckers? (I sure hope they do lol)

Here's a photo not sure if this is the best one;

The better brand is the NGK (from what I've heard) my friend has the NGK Platniums and he strongly recommends them, the only downfall is the prices, but the quality is much better and you'll get better results. In my opinion I would go and swap them over to the NGK Plat.
Hope that helps.

I'm no expert but it could be the headgasket, because I kinda had the same problem and a few people told me it could be that, hopefully its not the gasket but get that checked if you can.

Thanks for the help guys, i'll keep you updated on what im doing this weekend on the car (depending on weather) and when i get stuck again i'll let you guys know

I have thought about the EJ20tt engine if i can find a half cut with all the parts I need, with the wiper motor I've checked all the fuses and they seem to be fine so i'll check for rust and the switch :) [Thanks for the advice steptoe]. One of my m8's told me I should get a inter-cooler for the car...

Thanks spike, yer this car is just a hobby and I don't know too much about mechanics, but I would like to learn how to fix these things slowly. With the MBC i was just thinking of getting a little bit more boost out of the car but I guess I'll be wasting my money if I got one. As for the seats, they...

Thanks for the reply guys :) just an update on the car, i got my m8 too look at the car and he said its overheating cause it could be the thermostat, so we had a look and it was completely finished, I have purchased a new one with the gasket. The weird thing is I started the car again and let it sit...

Hey everyone, I would like to know how to remove the window wiper motor from my 87 XT Vortex as it is has stopped working and I am trying to see if it can be fixed.
Any help would be great

Thanks

Hi everyone, I would like to know what type of spark-plug leads for my 1987 Subaru Vortex, its a standard EA82t engine and I am not sure what brand and how many I need, any help would be helpful.

Thanks for your time
