Hi everyone!

Post by Sidekick84 »

Hi guys and girls,

I am new to the site and to fto's, I was looking at buying a skyline but they are hard to come by in good condition and so when I spotted a fto on car sales I knew I had to have one!

I am still looking for the right fto so if anyone knows any decent fto's out there feel free to let me know :)

Are there many female members on here?

Cheers :D

WTTC.. Few cars for sale, but like anything depends what you are looking for..

A few women on the forums, but generally a lot of banter by the boys.
I just had to add it ......

Welcome to the club!

There are plenty of decent FTOs out there, it's just a matter of what your personal preferences are!

There are a couple of female members, but it's mostly us blokes plaguing the forums with our ~delightful~ conversation and banter! :lol:


Good luck finding a car :)

Cool thanks everyone!

Looking at spending around $4000 - $6000, what is the likely hood of getting something decent for that price?

Thanks Technikhaus, they all look good but I was kinda hoping to find a manual, wish the first one was a manual! That is one sweet car!

Not bad, looks very tidy.
To tell the truth for that money i'd buy HKS FTO and spend that bit extra to convert it to manual.
But if you don't want to do that, then that linked one looks quite nice :)
