I was gonna write a whole story of my life but decided to just do point forms
-on green provisionals
-no prior interest or knowledge of cars at all
-recently purchased 1995 black manaul FTO GPX (first aus owner) from dealer.
-no idea how to drive a manual at first, learnt and im not too bad
-daily driver and plan to keep it long term with minimal mods.
-located in syd - burwood/canterbury area.
-found this site and decided to follow a few DIY and whatnot.
Problems i have:
-site seems inactive, DIY and threads dont have pics to follow due to site upgrade?
-messed up 5th gear, waiting to be fixed
-stuck with standard stock headunit due to insufficient funds for a new headunit
-stereo surround cracked and almost destroyed.
-no clock in the car, never know whats the time
-few others but cant think of atm
Things i've done:
-de-badged back and sides and replaced front with silver badge.
-metal razo pedals
-installed fire extinguisher
-cleaned up peeling headlights
-put HIDs in existing HID sockets.
-cleaned foggy foglights ?
-FTo logo brakelight
-installed an alarm
-razor gearknob
Things to do:
-new headunit
-CAI
-Fto badge for the back?
-window Tinting
-seat covers
-paint red callipers
-paint wipers
-maybe new suspension/coilovers and brakepads.
well its quite a list and i feel its mainly rice mods and fear some criticism of some sort but im well prepared.
jus feels theres not really anyone else i can talk to about this car, also cause this site seems inactive. :S
but still plenty of useful information and whatnot. well thanks for reading, happy to answer any questions and i hope to participate in any upcoming events or gatherings
