Picka's Fto
Hey Guys
Thought i'd start up my own thread to show progress on my FTO,
It's got a couple of things done to it but nothing crazy.
Tein Coilovers
Leather interior
Exhaust
Extractors
Upgraded intake
17's (soon to be rota Grid R's)
Slotted brakes

Re: Picka's Fto
It is easy to pull out... Just follow the wire to the passenger foot well. There is an adapter plug which runs from the Mivec Controller to the ECU. Just pull the adapter plug, and replug in the clips from the ECU direct back in ...picka wrote:The things in the dash???vanadinite wrote:Very nice and clean, whats the computers for though?

Should be no wiring or anything ... You may even be able to sell the MIVEC controller here...
Car looks pretty fresh too by the way ...
I just had to add it ......

Re: Picka's Fto
It would have reset the MIVEC kick in point to 4,000 rpm as well... So you will probably find at 4k you hear a beep, power drops for a sec, then it kicks in...picka wrote:rock_it wrote:It is easy to pull out... Just follow the wire to the passenger foot well.

Re: Picka's Fto
some quick shots after they got fitted.
I'm pretty happy with the choice and they sit nicely in the guards
