Hehe.

A mate of mine working in Civic found a silver 95 FTO (not sure which model) for sale. Tip tronic with only 96k kms on the clock.

Stock as a rock though, as most of them tend to be.

Guy is asking 15.8k.

Followed a guy around in Erindale carpark untill he stopped.

He'd just bought himself a new white GPX....has red MIVEC stickers on it and looks damn schmick!

Says he bought it from Theodore.

Got his number and told him about the club....his name is Benny.

At least he didn't snob me off like other FTO owners

Spotted:

Civic on Saturday night: The red RalliArt FTO sitting in front of Bailey's corner and another red FTO sitting the car park near Acadamey....had NSW plates and was absolutely covered in bugs.

Spotted today: Silver GR with the most god aweful wheels sitting in the temp car park of the TransACT building. Has a "Hot Pursuit Motorsport" sticker on the back.

Yeah Jake told me about a FTO he turbo'd.
I don't think he "wont do it again" as he seemed fairly willing to turbo my engine!

Except the holes. which turn me off

Exactly, which is why I'm going over to New Gel today to see what it'd cost to have those holes filled in.

GR...

No way Boris I've got a silver GPX, nothing but the best for this cat

Actually my FTO is on top of my priority list but first I need to stop doing god damn contract work and fine a full time job so I have a steady income and can fix my beast... CONTRACT work is a f#@ken waste of time

btw I spot FTO's all the time but dont wave cos I'm not in my car and may look like a pyscho...

Cheers,

Spotted this arvo:

Silver FTO with no spoiler heading out of Civic on Northbourne Ave......gave me a huge wave and I waved back. I'm pretty sure it also had "FTO" stickers on the side skirts.

Then a few minutes late spotted another silver FTO outside ANU.

Not that much. If I supply all the hardware (turbo, intercooler, injectors, e-manage etc etc) he will fit/tune everything for about $3000-$4500)

So maybe all up it will be 7-8ish
