Hey everyone, just an update, I'm finally starting my project on the vortex and I've already have a few new problems, and I would like to know if anyone can help me out on this one :) Problem 1: When I moved my car into my drive way the car was sitting level and the adjustable suspension is working ...

For example what happens if you get a car for free? Do you still have to pay for a transfer fee?

Yer I think the same rule applies to Vic has the same rules about the going up 2 sizes up as well, but how easy would it be for me to change over the cross hub to a 5 stud option and would it be worth it if I do change it?

I'll keep you updated on what my next move is on this car

Hi everyone I would like to know if anyone can tell me what the standard stud pattern size for a 1987 Subaru XT Vortex is?
And also would like to know if 17" (There 4 stud) rims that are 125mm apart would fit the standard Vortex?

Any information would be a great help
Thanks

I do have one question though, would anyone be able to tell me where I would be able to find a new window wiper mechanism for it because i...

Ey Toonga, lol you may not steel my gear box, but i know a person who has a manual gearbox for a brumby, I'll ask them if they want to sell it, just send me a PM and I'll get back to you.

Hey all, thanks for the reply's, lol yer i know this is gonna be hard to rebuild to original, though it doesn't have much power but I was thinking of maybe of putting a larger turbo on it, as I know very little about these motors or turbos but I do know finding a larger turbo on it is going to be ve...
