very Honda NSXish

IF Carlsberg did Subaru's !! (maybe a UK thing if ya dont get it !)

steptoe wrote:What? in RWD only ?

Yup ! Afraid so Jonno - all to do with the "rearward bias" positioning of the engine and subsiquently the gearbox being too far back for hooking up to the front wheels !
Shame !
- Still the Toyota version has got the Subie engine !

Lots of topic here fella's !:mrgreen:

Guy's your probably not doing much wrong at all. Those inclusions are typical when stick / cig welding, they are actually small deposits of flux from the stick / wire. Ways you may reduce them are ensure the sticks are bone dry, use higher quality sticks ('OK' are a good yard stick) ensure a good ea...

LOL !! no its the headlamp washer fluid bottle ! - did you guys not get this option ? Christ you know when that is working as you get a sunami coming over the front towards you - very high pressure !! Use the bricks so we dont have to leave hand brake on when parked up for a while. ;) The pile in th...

when do we see pictures of hatchy? Ok just for you Jules - and just a bit off topic and no mention of teeth ! http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd376/1111giles/2011-10-13_10-53-17_584.jpg Wings / Fenders off - the work begins.......(old fenders used to help sell MV2) http://i1216.photobucket.com/a...

Women have a nasty way of finding these things out :( TOONGA Nah your both wrong..... She never knew I had it and she aint found out I sold it either :twisted: Hatchy is the new project moving forward following the 'cull' Jules - need those parts you and Paul are sitting on. pm me with the latest u...

The thread title says 'I own a Vortex '
Well as of today.....

'I don't own a Vortex (or in our speak XTturbo) anymore '

WTF?? Wow.. not really sure how we got from Giles's avatar to politics and guns :confused: GILES !!! where are you?? I'm still here Paul ! Still here ! The little piccy is a current gen Foz that's been (sadly only) photo chopped into what should be the new Brumby. We can wish eh ? I always felt tha...

That is whacky, unique and I like it !
How about some shots of the engine implant ?

OK so who is up for re- manufacturing some of these ? With todays modern rapid prototyping techniques, making some would not be out of sight, what we would need is a blueprint or a fresh drawing / design. With a Parasolid 3d cad file in x_t format I reckon we could stamp the first one out in about 3...

Looks great !
I want one !!!
(and I would'nt mind one of those Pumped up FOZZIES either !!! )

Computors do not do human emotion Jonno !
If you wanna be your best mate - then why not ?
Threaten it with a baseball bat mate (you'll feel better for it) but dont hit it though, as the cost to replace it will mean IT had the last laugh !

Hahahahaha ! (laughing at the starving piggy bank mate not your predicament)
The Vortex is a money pit eh? - but you lurvvv it !
Worth every cent ?? eh ??

Time to work again Jonno - that'll fix piggy !

I've done this to my UK spec MV 1800 (Brumby) - you need the entire parts kit from an MY series vehicle (any of them) which has power steering fitted. There's quite a list. one thing to watch is the extended thermo housing (clears the back of the power steering pump) - You MUST have this part for it...

Wow, this forum is international. :p Hello from "across-the-pond." :) (Canadians say that, do Aussies? :p) Have you been to Australia? I appreciate your post. Halifax UK is a bit of a far journey, else I'd swing by. :mrgreen: Hi - No, not yet had the pleasure to travel down under - but I think I'll...

Maybe pricing it at that much because he doesnt want to do it :( Sounds pricey to me - even from all the way over here in England. Or Maybe he's the only ''Tigger'' in the area so he thinks he can charge what he likes ! Pity your not here mate - that sounds like a footy ticket and tinnies job to me ...

So the really cool guy's amongst you will do a personal import then !:rolleyes:

I mean who would be seen dead driving a cough -splutter
- TOY - HO TA !:mrgreen:

Right! It is high time I dobbed in 1111giles dad for having an XT turbo, and T'subaru also belongs in here with his XT6 daily driver. Thought you guys would have held your hand up by now :D Hand well and truly held up Steppo ! But I also have to own up to having ''put down'' another one recently - ...

Main reason for it is that its smaller / cheaper to make & fit.
