Bought Black FTO mivec 1997 used to belong to ACE (Hobart)
Today i picked up the Black FTO mivec 1997....ex car of ACE (sandy bay) from Tasma Car sales.
Peter looked after me and is repairing a few things which are not right (at his expense) and going the extra mile.
Hi to fellow tassie members
The car is as follows
Mivec engine. Modifications such as carbon fibre bonnet,topmix wing and front lips, genuine momo steering and gear knob, custom el dials,remote entry, 6000k HID, lowered with kingsprings. HKS super dragger exhaust, FTO HKS air inflow,18' rims, immobiliser.
I am enjoying
FTOdream (Paul) an aged member compared to most i guess

Driving the FTO is a bit addictive...its like a town car,idling around and a sports car all in one

Yet another MIVEC. I swear everyone has one but me.
Even the sales guy I dropped my car off to today, to get a new alarm installed, even he has one! lol.

Same bonnet and colour as me...
I am starting to not feel unique...
If you get a CF boot.. Enkei wheels and a facelift front bar... I am out of here...

Hehehe...not likely...I'll concentrate on a bit of paint for the bonnet and maybe a phone arial ....not that keen on the straight CF bonnet look. This cars a keeper for me....don't imagine I'll get sick of it any time soonrock_it wrote:Same bonnet and colour as me...

Thanks for the welcome....just lucky I guess...was going to buy a 300zx but the deal fell through and I saw this one and took it for a drive and the rest is history....reliability of the FTO is a big plusPHIL069 wrote:G'Day FTOdream
