Hey everybody, its been awhile since I have posted something up here, I'm almost done putting the engine back together and should have the engine started within a few months (depending on timing) When the engine starts I'm going to run a Compression Test to see how well the engine is running, hopefu...

you useto get a kaminari kit for the vortex in america but the person who made them never finished the job, if you sign up to http://www.subaruxt.com they will be able to help you out with everything you need to know.

What rims do you have because all centre caps are different, also have you tried looking on gumtreet, ebay or the wreckers.

If you could post of photo of your wheels it might be easier to find what you are looking for.

Hey JBNielsen Nice find on the sportswagon, I can recommend "Suba-Roos" in Burwood (1/1 Alexander Dr Burwood VIC 3125 (03) 9808 5600) I have spoken to the guy a few times about my vortex and his been very helpful. There is another Subaru specialist in Clayton "Subamods" 33 Garden Rd,Clayton VIC 3168...

Hi mate, I have the same issue with rims for these, the stud pattern for the vortex is 4x140 and finding after market wheels are nearly impossible, if you want to change your wheels you can look for a peugeot 505 gti wheels that are 15" as they have the same stud pattern, if you are to keep the orig...

Hello and welcome to the club, If you are looking for a good engine I would put an ej25, I have heard that they are built to take a punishment hahah but if you want a lot of power maybe an LS1 V8 (not sure if it fits though) You should be able to find a decent half cut for around $2500. Keep us post...

Not sure if that vortex was used for police use, looks like the dash is in one piece and the rest of the car is in A1 condition too.

Thanks for that Frog, if you can let me know that would be awesome

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll see if I can get a part from subaru, if all fails I'll'll try and make one myself

If anyone still has a spare let me know

Hey everyone, I'm almost done putting my engine back together and hopefully having it started up before new years, the only thing is that I am looking for a plastic hose that has been cut from a friend who said he was going to help me but end up cutting everything. Long story short, i'm looking for ...

Welcome to the club 2many2's.

Cant wait to see some pics of your new car, let us know if you have a complete dash with no cracks as they are hard to come across

Good luck with the car and let us know how the ride is

I've seen this car for sale a since 2011 down my area, I have to admit the interior looks brand new and there are no running issues I'm pretty sure its not an ex cop car, its proberly a sales pitch to try and get rid of it hahahahha

thanks for the helpfull list, hopefully 1 of these places will have spares for my vortex

Looks great, it must sound great when the turbo is boosting

Do you have any other plans for it?
