This Guy's F T O G P X

Post by JAM047 »

Alright, Welcome to my story. (It may or may not be a wall of text) TLDR At end.

A year ago i used to own a Silver 95 GPX, which i was forced to sell it as i had two car's and moved into a complex unit with a "friend" and i wasn't able to take both cars with me, unluckily the FTO Had to go but Lucky i ended up selling the FTO to a good dude, who's also now in the club and lives only 10-15 mins away from where i live, but still yet to hangout (Ish your reading, we really gotta do this haha)

About a month passed and started to want another FTO. So i looked around for one and tried to work something out, but that failed and i sort of went on with life without one till July 2016!!!, where i found probably one of the best looking condition wise FTO's i've ever come across. I found it on Gumtree for $4000. Black. Manual. GPX. Enkei Wheels. No Rust. And just over 100k on the dial.(Didnt look swapped out and wear and tear)


So this page is basically just going to be new pics of the car and progress pics and posts every now and again if i remember, and hoping the community is still here from a few years ago!


TL;DR. Used to have a FTO sold it to someone else now have this one. enjoy :P

Aight, this past few weeks been busy doing things to the FTO

I fixed a hole in the muffler, but its now back, but looking into a Dual exit system anyway.

I've gotta find some glow dials somewhere someones replaced my dash bulbs with red led's and there is dark spots galore all over my dash.

I also gave it an oil and filter change, this was way back when i first got it.

I've painted the bit gloss black, and door handle thingydoo's same color.

    Yeah, that sounds tough. mine has a slight subie gurgle to it.

    But i still vote FTO For noise. It still gives me the biggest smile when i'm listening to it particularly between 2500-3500 rpm of normal driving.

    Picked this up today! Super Excite.

    Car will hopefully be done early next year :D i just need to get side skirts which are being made over christmas and need to decide on what wing i'd like to put on it, there's also a possibility that i'll change the color to Red if not it'll stay black.

    I'll post up a post once i fit it and see what it looks like on the car :D

    Cheers to Dwayne and Sidds

    As long as you don't start a thread asking tyre and wheel size, you'll keep your identity unique from bjk [emoji14]

    I'll buy an MPS to complete the similarity. But it'd probably be a 6. :cheeky:

    What, the 6MPS? Yeah, I heard things about transfer cases and various other niggles from one of the Mazda guys (who went back to an 323 SP20 lol)

    Still wouldn't mind one though!
