Looks like nobody has had this problem.
Anyway i got some replies at another forum
I ended up purchasing a second hand Drive shaft with inner and outer CV joint for $185 plus $50 postage
I could have got a CV joint for a GR but they could not garantee GR & GPX were the same although they appeared to be
After i emailed them they got straight back to me each time I spoke to
Peter Lee.
They seem to have a quite a few FTO parts new and used so if your getting a quote for parts give them a try.

I know it isn't any help now but Camskill in the UK do sell the outer and inner CV boot kits and they are the same for all FTO models. Mitsubishi do sell similar kits (not sure if they are identical) but they aint cheap.

The three repair kits that Mitsi do are
TJ repair kit MR232221 (common with some LANCER/MIRAGE models)
TJ boot repair kit MR232222/3/4 depending on model (MR232222 common with some LANCER/MIRAGE models the other two are FTO specific)
BJ boot repair kit MR232401 (common with one LANCER/MIRAGE and some DIAMANTE models)
