Hey Guys

[aza013]

Well considering i plan to track the car an LSD will be the way to go....

Sweeeeeeeet
We need more track FTO's

[dstocks]

Yes, you can add them. They were a factory option for the GPX (but not common unless you grab one of the caro of the year yellow ones)

[MuSKeR]

GPvR it is. I honestly cant wait. I hope that theres some good examples of them when Im ready to buy.

Yea man... I got a couple of mates in the Magna Club and once I went out there and took the car around wakefield I always wanted to go back.. Unfortuantly ive only been out twice but plan to do more now that my life is settling down.

You got much mods on the FTO..
I got the Koni Yellow Adjustable Suspension but just pedders sports springs, rear sway bar and a strut brace... But I know Ill be going thw works with the FTO.

[dstocks]

Nowhere near as much as for evos/hondas, but some stuff. Range of bodykits, exhaust, extractors, throttle bodies, intake, ecu. Too much to list come to think of it.

[MuSKeR]

I may be wrong here... probably am lol.. but i heard that the FTO floor base is the same as the Lancer and one other car....

that being said shouldnt evo suspension be a straight swap... so whatever you buy for an evo you can get for an fto...

thats how i work it for the magna lol...

Me: "need some Konis for the magna?"
Them:"sorry mate we dont do them for magna"
M: "you got some for evos?"
T: "yea we got heaps for an evo"
M: "Ill have them then"
T: "Huh???"

Its what I love about having something different.

The FTO's are a mix of all mitsubishi cars even Volvo.
I think it's the front shocks are listed as a Volvo part.

wttc man

The FTO shares the same basic chassis as the EVO 3. Having said that, you cant just chuck the EVO 3 running gear in as the FTO floor pan doesnt cater for the tailshaft and rear diff. A few people have experimented down this path, but we are yet to see a completed car in Australia.

Musker, Welcome friend!

Go for the GPvR.

As for mods, as far as I can remember, the club can help you with information and/or what and where you can buy for:
Intake
Exhaust
LSD
Suspensions
Some bodykits
Replacement parts(UK)
Interior stuff
Some other stuff!

Thanks mate. I will definetly ask questions.

If thats the case the brembo front brakes should be a direct bolt on. The rear should bolt on but may need to spacer out the rotor. but ill try and we shall see lol.

Love to see that you've looked into it Richard

[Bennoz]

Take solace in the fact that a hand made tailshaft will cost you f**k all. That's what V8s have done to our driving landscape over the last 30 years lol.

[RichardB]

Love to see that you've looked into it Richard

well you know, dropping an EVO engine in now, race that for 12 months then . . . who knows.

[MuSKeR]

Been a little while but Ive just been flat out for work lol..

Still looking at buying one. Still jut doing some research and saving for the best one.

Hope everyone had a good christmas.
