HKSFTO - Vic --- SOLD!

WildRide · Post by **WildRide** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:50 am

HI all

Well Iâ€™ll spare you 12 months worth of personal highs and lows and cut straight to the bit were Iâ€™m selling HKSFTO. (Thatâ€™s a turbo 96 GPX for those who arenâ€™t familiar) Of that 12 months it spent the first 7 in a garage and the remainder being usedâ€¦. Well pretty darn infrequently. Really I should have sold it along time ago, but itâ€™s a sign of how freaking awesome it is that I just couldnâ€™t let go.

The bad news
Sheâ€™s currently unregistered. Really unregistered.

The not great news.
Needs new brake pads and pod filter
New belt tension-pulley bearing as current one gets unhappy if it gets too hot.
Altezza tail lights need to be re-sealed.
A couple of very minor scuff marks, front and rear bumpers.

The good news
Ummâ€¦errâ€¦everything else.
Engine is in top shape.
Turbo package is humming running strong at max 7psi.
Pioneer/Clarion sound system, boost controller and injector controller are all sweet as
The Racaro tomcats still hug you tighter than ya momma.
The HKS exhaustâ€¦..Iâ€™ve run out of superlatives
Too many other mods to mention here.

Stuff recently replaced, well recently in terms of kilometres travelled
Oil Lines
Alternator (full re-conditioned and I have an older spare)
Top end of the exhaust (inc down pipes)
Bridgestone Eagle 1â€™s all roundâ€¦.I think theyâ€™ve done less than a 1000kâ€™s

I think I paid >$20k for her all those many years ago. Seems like several lifetimes actually. Obviously now sheâ€™s priced to sell. Itâ€™s probably going to take someone $3k-$4k to get her fully back on the road.

Current asking price is $8k.
If you want more details or pics, just search the forums.

Hope I can find her a good home.

WR

Good lord! That'll go quicker than a skid mark on a dunny door for that price! Good luck

Whoa that's really cheap.. And I see yet another failed set of Altezzas lol.. Off topic - Any idea about the best way to reseal them? I bought some apoxy but I dunno if that's the best way to do it..

Anyway, good luck with the sale! Pics would be nice =p

Pics please?
can't find any apart from those ones from the article on it..

Sounds sweet. Minor scuff marks and a few other minor things..to get an extremely good FTO for 8k?
*hyperventilates*

How noticeable is the fact that it's turbo? is it a sleeper, as in, sound wise?

mrdj1234 · Post by **mrdj1234** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 3:40 pm

she's anything but a sleeper - lowered, polished versions of the standard mags - a spine tingling burble while idling, and the banshee scream and a white blur on the horizon when the loud pedal's depressed, vainishing with a mixture of road dust, unburned fuel and a properly tuned turbo setup.

the HKS badges and plates are a bit of a give away too.

not rice, just very damn nice!

I was going to say "say it ain't so" but when it's time to part ways with your baby ....

(kinda glad I got selfish and kept mine though...)

I believe there are some photos of the car in the Vic Hot4 gallery

Is this an engineering issue?

cartainly would be in NSW.
You know how ironic the timing of this is, was planning to buy a turbo'd FTO when the next one rolled up, ofcourse thinking I'd never see one for a good while.

Edit: OH Damn, just realised this is that car from Japan

Man I could cry. so want this car.

Actually it was a "I didn't pay the bill issue"

Vic roads has no issue with the car that they have ever told me

Car is sold.
The new owner is not taking delivery for a couple of weeks so I'll let him decide if he wants to out himself.

Although I suspect a lot of you know already.
