FTO AUSTRALIA

For those of you that know my other half Kaz, this is her car.

Originally purchased off Dwayne (dstocks - and correct me if Im wrong Dwayne) but it was imported into Australia many years ago, but sat pranged in a panel shop in Canberra for years. To this day it still only has 45,000 kms on it, after it was repaired & we bought it off Dwayne with a mere 19,000kms on the clock.

She pulls hard I tell you, real hard. Only mods to date, a my old exhaust (a full 2.5" stainless mandrel bent system from Hi Tech Muflers in Darlinghurst) with custom 'down pipe' or 'Y pipe' as some of you call it, and a UAS whale dick intake with 4" pod. Now she's finally got some new wheels & has a manual conversion on the horizon.

With new wheels on (compliments of Jumpkid)

And as of today, freshly machined flywheel & new clutch for man conversion

Excedy MH7277HD FYI.

Also winning!

Soooooo clean! If I have the money in future I wanna do a manual conversion too! Estimates on cost for urs bennoz? And may I ask "lawsochap" I was whirling around random threads and stumbled upon a thread (cannot recall which one) but I was given the impression something happened to your FTO? . Is that true or am I mistaken

long story on my car mate...

in short i do have a full manual conversion for sale the thread is called "it's going"

It's NEEEEWWWW!!!

Like the new wheels on it, neat.

Rebuilding the gearbox this morning thats going in for the manual conversion and look what diff I find.... The fking Ralliart helical LSD! The one I originally wanted

You have to be happy with that find .

Nice, what gearbox was that in?

Remember to take plenty of pics so we can identify in future, including through the shaft splines. Did u get some pics of the other diffs as well to put up in the diffs thread?

Was a late model Version R box Some subtle other differences between it & my box, it was interesting to do.

Yep, was 27 spline & a straight through diff. Identifying features being the helical cogs coming through the casing

It gets me thinking what one I have .

Correct

Were they a factory option do you think? Or aftermarket only?

Looking good
How hard is the gearbox rebuild as I am going to have to do one soon because the bearings in mine are noisy as and need replacing

Do you know the VIN of the car it came out of? It would be interesting to see what ASA / CAPS has to say.

^^ this!
