hi guys new to the site
Hi guys just bought my first fto 95 model gpx manual and loving the car especially when I only picked it up for $800
Now I have the fto bug can't stop putting add ons on it and mucking around with things
Have been giving the thing a great hiding as I love the sound of the mivec with the intake system just growls but now I think I'm up for a clutch done plenty of rear wheel drives but haven't tackled a front wheel yet is there much work involved ?

I'm sure someone with actual knowledge can chime in on the clutch.

WTTC,
There really isn't much difference between a FWD and other cars in terms of how easy or difficult they are to work on. You'll work out any differences pretty quick though just looking at it.
And Bennoz is just bragging

There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others

I've got big plans for it just got to convince the misses
Eventually get rid of the stock wheels and body kit to start with
And a lot of interior work should be a good project over time
Bonfire looks great would be good to get some ideas and get to meet a few blokes

Re: hi guys new to the site
Dwayne (dstocks) is your man in the body kit department. I think he has about 5 pieces these days (facelift factory Ts front, prefacelift Ts front, Kaze fenders, DCuatro skirts and his custom Vortex rear bar)
The more the merrier at the bonfire.
