FTO AUSTRALIA

I am thinking about buying a cheap everyday drive and retiring the FTO for a weekender.

Would I get laughed at in this?
I do like it, I reckon it looks cool...

Did you just search for "shittest cars under $2,500K"?

I like the last one though, although not a cheap every day drive haha

Whack an old 4G63T into it

Don't buy the Capri.
You'll regret it.

The Suzuki would have less to spend on it.
The Datto has quite a bit that needs doing and the parts might be a bit hard to find = $$$$.

That's what I thought too
It looks nice from what is shown though.
There are other 300ZX, but they don't look as good.
It might cost a bit to maintain too.

Ooooooooooooooooo go the galant!!!

Welcome to the weekend FTO club

Will let you take it off the road for weeks at a time to do big turbo mods too!

Lower compression and boost it

Or bump up compression and have an N/A track monster

My sister has a 1994 model and it's pretty good for what it is.

The earlier models had a few issues with roof leaks and so copped a really bad rep for that.

They corrected the roof leaks in 93 and did a few cosmetic updates.

They have a Mazda B6 engine.

She bought it with 120,000kms on the clock 7 years ago and now it's got 165,000kms and has had absolutely no problems in that time except for a window regulator failing.

I think I might have found a winner, but it will probably be sold before I can get to it.
1985 XF Falcon with only 75,000km's, mint condition.
