The engine bay in the Vortex is a lot longer than an L series.

The 357 cubic Ford powered Subaru Vortex Drag car ran a lightning fast pass of 9.19 @ 148.76 MPH over the standard 1/4 mile at Tasmania's AC Delco Motors drag strip in late March. Even quicker times are expect at the up and coming ANDRA bracket meeting at Victorias Heathcote Park Raceway on the 16t...

There used to be a supercharged V8 Vortex getting around. It was a tubbed rear wheel drive. Looked the goods.

Congrats Bryan and Bec. Well done. I bet you are stoked! Good name too.

I love the proper crook short cut for plumbing in the boost gauge too. Saves having to go through the firewall hey?

The EA82 has an inbuilt rev limiter. It is called engine design.

I thought we found a small hole on the passengers side around about where 2nd gear is, I mean was.

Let me know when you get all the bits back and depending on how much work I have on at the time and Dane, we may be able to shoot up there. Just need some notice.

Did you sort out the starting issue after the dash was built?

One thing of notice is the larger tyre size actually makes the speedo read closer to correct speed than the factory fitted tyres according to GPS. Stamp-licker has the same tyres as mine but one size smaller (215 compared to a 225 x 70/16) and his speed is exactly correct according to his GPS. Mine ...

A 2" lift kit comprises of 2 inch (50mm) blocks on all your cross members, suspension mounting points and your struts. You are lifting your body 2" from the ground while all your running gear remains at the same height from the ground. All you suspension geometry remains as per factory. When you fit...

I wish I was there playing cars. Looks like fun.

He always has Dane with plans of eventually doing the Aus Safari and vehicle need to be registered for that. That pipe is around about where Dave and I originally wanted to run it but Stuart thought it would have been too noisy. I suppose now knowing how quiet the car actually is it will work well t...

Barry, I just read your post on the other forum and I think you are a little off on what can be done with a Gen 4. Due to the lower control arm set up on them you can not go any more than 1" higher on the struts than your lift kit size. That is if you go a 2" lift you can squeeze in a 3" strut top. ...

I would call Sunspares. 54727222 oe email them via http://www.sunspares.com.au They are a Subaru Wrecker and if you get them in a good mood they will be very helpful.

The lead WRX has just been hit in the back corner and it has broken 2 wheel studs. Now it is in the pits having the hub changed. Bugger.

About half an hour left to run and at this stage the closest WRX to the front is in 5th place. He is catching the leaders but I don't think there is enough time left for a win.

There is a simple way to work it out. It is not 100% correct due to inefficiencies of manifolds, turbos, heads etc and the atmospheric pressure being not exact. It is very close to being right though. Atmo pressure about 14psi Your boost 6 psi So divide 6psi by the 14 gives you 0.42 Now at 0.42% to ...

Half the fun of the photos is working out which way is up and where they are. Looking good mate, keep it up. I love threads like this.

Hey Stuart, is Hyden a definite? I'll need to make plans ASAP if it is.

Grant, going to fly out again (finke). Cost is cheaper than driving and takes waaaaay less time.

Finken-oath mate. I'll be there but flying solo this year.
