hi all

Post by Ephercius »

hi guys

the name is jean pierre. Currently living in Malta, just about 5 months ago i purchased an FTO Mivec GPX 2.0 liter V6 if im not mistaken should have a triptonic gearbox as well but might be wrong... not sure on that.

also to add to the collection i purchased the same model which was going to be scraped as it had some parts which i needed for mine. not to mention that in malta the Fto is pretty much limited i would say that there are around 15 to 20 in all. added bonus with the one which was going to get scraped i found

full stainless steel exhaust - will be installing soon
a standard 2 exhaust port bumper - will also get painted and installed
Rear back lights in black - Already installed yesterday
Tein Full adjustable coil overs for Front - will install soon
Tein Full adjustable coil overs for Rear - Dismantled and going for paint
Carbon Dial area - Dismantled and cleaned ready to install

in addition the boot and bonnet i would say are in good shape and i would like to do some mods to them aka mainly adding the Taeivon boot spoiler and taeivon hood (just a side note any ideas where to buy?)

well thats a bit of an intro about me and my fto hehe glad to meet you all

hi there wttc
just pondering the 2 exhaust port bumper - it wont be a stock bumper - possibly one that has either been cut on the left hand side to match or an aftermarket bumper - would have to throw up some pics to indefinitely tell.
Never heard of a taeivon kit before - if your referring to the rally car then that will be a one-off custom job for that car and wont be any copies around - weither set your heart on something else or try and get a shop to take your existing bonnet and copy it in fiberglass. There are some alternative bonnets out there but for the money they cost, and then shipping to malta on top of that your better off customizing your own.
