FTO AUSTRALIA

Bought on 31 March 2011 from a dealership a few streets away from me. Dealer didn't know what he had and kept calling it a Mitsubishi GP. Traded in my GPX which I had bought only a few months prior + some cash on top.

Car is looking really good, congratulations on it.

Does that remote incorporate the FTO key in it?

Cheers mate.

Yup, I got the correct blade for the FTO and had it cut.

That's awesome, yay for you finally making a thread!! haha

Holy sh*t we kept saying make a build thread and u kept saying yeah one day but I didnt think u would actually do it great work mate looks great altho I notice u missed stuff like when u swapped over the heads to fix your tappets :p

I never swapped over the heads. Swapped over the hydraulic tappets.

What's a version R? Never heard of it. Is that like a VR commodore?

F**k your paint really is immaculate. Well, the entire car.

Lol at dat roof rust doe

Awesome transformation. You've done pretty much all the things that I'll be doing to mine. Can't wait to see the results from suspension upgrades. How does it handle hairpins and roundabouts now?

Well done Vectose...

I really like your car, you have done so much work to it, you must be so proud, I wish my car was as good as yours.

BTW...Those tinted side blinkers look really good on your FTO

Cheers guys.

Got my wheels back from the machinist yesterday.
$130 to repair the gutter rash on all 4.

Wrapped them in Federal 595 RS-R's 235/40/17

Looks good!
Can you tell they've been repaired?
