Johnnyboynz Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Pic here: Parts I'm looking for: Interested in pretty much any spares I can get that are specific to the pre 87 Vortex. Let me know what ya have? It's always handy to have a few indicators etc lying around for when some prick backs into your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Shit me they were an ugly car back in the 90s when they became a more common appearance in NZ through Jap imports. Still ugly but kind of a trendy ugly. I must have mellowed in my old age. Approved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think there's something in the nz new thing with these subarus. I had two square shape nz new Leone wagons. One did 350k, and the turbo one did 320k. They were actually pretty well thought out cars. That said I doubt I'll ever own another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Vortex were 4wd too, selector was on the gear lever. EA82T was slower than a wet week though, couldn't much past 180 in my one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboynz Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yea, certainly not the fastest, only 110 odd hp standard, but this one isn't about speed for me, it does the speed limit just fine and I'm not 12 anymore after all. I find there is more to life, like cruising with the 1980 tunes on the updated ICE, in a perfectly quiet, rattle free car with an air cushion ride. Suits me down to the ground. I should buy myself a leather bomber jacket and raybans just to drive it. I'm not re-powering it unless something goes totally wrong with the engine and i can't replace the heads or something, I've had my re-power fun with my Brumby which has gone from ea81, ea82, ea82T, ej22, ej25 then EJ20t and so on, Plus 3" suspension lift, Adjustable Suspension, Disk brakes upgraded, Link G4 ECU, Electronic throttle, Diff locks, fiddler brakes etc If it can be done to a old subbie, I've probably done to be honest. Times and attitudes change though. It's certainly push button AWD as Dell'orto said. Wee red button on the joystick control. They did make a 2wd only model in non turbo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
