Ok so i also have a set of those grey WRX rims that i thin would be nice on the vortex but should i leave them grey or paint them the iconic gold?

Or should i get other rims? I was under the impression those were light-ish compared to most other common factory rims

good to see a few more vortex's, sad to see the state of the interior, if only id known earlyer u needed rear seats mine are resting at the local tip few months back, unfortunatly i dont realy have much other interior bits that i could pass on. my conversion to ej20t will be in progres straight after i take it to the track for one time with the old donka. so sure keep us posted on how ya go n sure we can share some tips.

Shame:( those seats would have helped to restore this car...

Ok so i started taking the car apart 2day after uni. So much red dust:(

So much work left to do:(

Sorry to say it Guy but "Swampy" is making "Jetcar's" interior look really good.

I hope you are wearing some sort of face mask as that mold can make you really sick if it gets into your lungs.

Keep at it, eventually you will have it finished

Where is the computer that was bolted to the console, the cable is shown in this picture.

Is that the reason the rear window was smashed?

What computer? yeah i didn't figure out yet what that wire is for. What is it?

Post by **Alex** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:56 am

it looks like a code reader?? it could well be linked up to the ecu???

but thats just a guess

it looks like who ever last had the car was running a stinger or something like that. the cable is a 9 pin serial that plugs into an aftermarket ECU normally.

Well the car started and runs fine, i also took it for a drive. Shouldn't that not happened if the aftermarket ecu is missing?

Post by **TOONGA** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 2:45 pm

nope if it still has an ecu it should run the other computer could've been a boost controller.

I didn't specify what it was used for just that it was missing.
