FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi just wondering if there're any active members in WA...

Hey, I am

lol Have been wondering the same thing though. I haven't been a member for that long, but don't think I've ever seen someone post under WA

Cool! I thought there was no one around. The WA forum seems so dead..

Yeah me to if it wasnt for this forum we would be f*cked.

It's a shame... I see a few fto's around... maybe the don't know about the site??

Active and new.

Car not so active though

Give me 2-3 weeks

One good thing is, RPW is in WA, so if we really need parts, they are not a 2 week wait away.

LOL but rpw is quite pricey...

The extractors seem ok, but they are about the only ones I have seen.

Bought a CAI from them for my Mirage a few months back, before hail struck it.

I'm in WA too. There are a few cars around... especially in mandurah i keep running into a white one with white wheels and the previous owner of it who now drives a white supra. There are a few doing motorkhana over here at AHG too (autotest series). They're always around but maybe the owners just arent big internet people or have only seen the wa site and scratched their chin.

RPW are extremely cheap for timing belt/chain replacements i keep seeing Dave say it costs under $100...

Seem to be spotting another silver FTO near UWA these days. I drive a silver 1 as well

By any chance is that other silver one you see around UWA dented all over? If so then its mine, got owned by the hail storm. Its having troubles starting atm ever since the storm so might not see it around as much.

Yup saw it today. Mine's silver as well but I'm not driving it atm. I got it under my aunt's name and now I'm fucked by that. They wouldn't give me a transfer of ownership cause they claim I havn't provide any proof of identification for her and the rego's over. Can't use it till I've settle that crap.. Sigh...

Another WA FTO owner right here

I'm in WA as well (it's the wifes car but I'm the one who likes FTO's and bought it for her!) GPvR aero, don't get on here as often these days but still like to drop by now and again.

Sweet. I'm starting to notice more FTOs on the street now. Saw 3 in Crawely/Claremont.

We're in Perth. just bought a red hail damaged GPX at auction, but it's unregistered and needs a lot of work so we won't be driving it just yet. Needs repainting (after getting all the dents out) new seat covers (working on unpicking the old ones now) and the consoles are kind of broken and sprayed red and scratched up, so they need cleaning up or replacing. Want to put a decent stereo in too, old one is OLD. Haven't even checked out the engine yet, but it does go.

Yeah you can get real bargains at those hail auctions.I regret buying my fto in january.

Yeah the auctions are great, heaps of cars, all makes and models. Unfortunately they are all unregistered so they have to go over the pits, and have a structural inspection as they are write offs. But we got our FTO for $2000, so that was a pretty good deal. Probably will spend 3 times that fixing it up though....
