Thanks again Bennie,

Just the front end as in Front Bumber as I am not the biggest fan of the Series 1 front

Thanks again Bennie.

If everything goes well this weekend the turbo engine will be running and slowly start the transfer

Is it possible to change the front end so I can have the S2 or am I stuck with the S1 front?

Thanks for the advise Bennie, I’m going to try this weekend to get my turbo engine from the Series 2 running and then start transferring everything over the weekends with my mechanic :) and yes it was the Green body with the brown interior and that will be swapped over with my sprayed black interior...

Thanks for the reply guys. I will be picking up the car this weekend and be posting photos soon

Hi guys I am about to buy a Series 1 Vortex and just want to know if I can put all my running gear eg: Engine, Gear Box, Diffs etc.. from my current 87.5 Serioes 2 to the new one as the Series 1 is Non Turbo, Auto and FWD. All I know is that the body is the same and just want to know if the engine a...

Hi guys Just had a quick question on doing an engine swap as I am looking into getting a FA20 from a BRZ (complete with manual gear box, looms ecu and keys) for around $6,000. I just wanted to know what’s involved and will the 4wd system still work as the engine will be from a rwd car or do I have t...

Hi everyone Just searching on gumtree and found this nice looking vortex, This has a rear wing (had to find) and only chasing $100.00 for it. Also has heaps of other good parts, worth a shot having a look before it gets crushed :) www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/caboolture-south/auto-body-parts/wrecking-sub...

It may be possible he cant see the difference as theymay look the same to him. I would of told him he should of gone somewhere else than spec savers because his getting ripped off. when it comes to buying things off ebay I like to go and see the item before I buy it so I know what I'm getting. Have ...

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...
