Hey guys. New here ^^

My name is Ryan, I'm 16 and I'm from Acacia Gardens, NSW.

Recently got a 1995 Mitsubishi FTO GPX (manual) as my second car. Currently on my L's.

It's had a few mods done to it. Puts out roughly 220-230hp. Car is very nice and clean, smooth to drive. Short shift needs to be fixed because sometimes I struggle to find 2nd gear. Other than that, no real complaints.

You guys got any tips or suggestions? And OF COURSE, what are some cheap ways to make me go faster?

Looks tidy! Got a dyno sheet for those power figures? :lol: Unless it's got a sneaky turbo hiding under the bonnet.

No dyno sheet :L

It's what I was told from the previous owner. With two people in the car, it pulls a 0-100 in less than 7 seconds so it's not too bad.

What work's been done to it? vipfto here is putting about that much power on 8-9 psi with a TD04 (If I remember that correctly). The best NA set ups around here (aza, dstocks and others) top out at about 140kw atw.

Well, i'm not too sure then.

I know that it has

- Hi flow cat back exhaust
- Ceramic Clutch
- Lightweight fly
- K&N panel filter (had a pod filter in it before. Pretty good power increase after swapping the filters)
- Running on BP Ultimate

Not sure about other mods. I know the car has been tuned by MRT Performance though.

It would be making about 125kw at the front wheels. Any more than that and you'll need to get a dyno sheet to prove it :lol:

Anyway, welcome to the club. You're close to our president Bennoz. Big bogan fella that's a real life aussie version of Homer Simpson :lol:

You may have seen a turbocharged red FTO flying around Acacia Gardens?

Lightweight flywheel you say? Tell me more, I've been looking into them for my engine build :cyclopsani: :cyclopsani: :cyclopsani: :cyclopsani:

@Daniel,

I have no idea about the flywheel. Just going off what the previous owner told me there. Hahaha. The only thing I have done to this car since I bought it, was put in the airbox and panel filter, empty out the boot, give it a wax and replace my melted cup holder (5 cent coin melted in)

Not sure about a turbo FTO? But I do know that near me (1-2 minutes away) there's a house with two FTO's in the driveway.

Yeah mate that would be Ben and Kaz. Club president and Secretary. Ben will come through here and rip on us for being gen Y or something soon :lol:

Ah bugger. If you ever replace your clutch be sure to take some pics and weigh your flywheel :lol:

Edit: Moar pics! And what other car do you have? When do you get your Ps?

Yeah. If one is red and one silver, that'd be him.

Or if there's a boat. :lol:

Won't be changing my clutch for a while. Car was serviced just two weeks ago with a full inspection. New timing belt put in too. The mech (Elite Autos) said the clutch was in very good condition and doesn't need to be replaced just yet.

Pics?

Looks clean mate. Panels line up pretty good, too. Unlike my POS :lol:

How do you like the FTO in comparison?

Yep that's them. Although I think the silver car still has its wing.
