hey guys i got my fto a couple of weeks ago its a 1994 auto, got it at 150000km for 5.2k, ever since buying the car i cannot stop thinking about it. i have already spent 1k on the car within 2 weeks and if it wasnt for my girlfriend i would be spending all my money on it. i already have huge plans for the car and i expect i will be living in a tent and eating 2 minute noodles for a year to get this all done

Hey man I'm in the same boat haha I just bought my 95 GPX auto and if it wasn't for my girlfriend having my balls in a vice grip I'd spend every cent on my beast! Just out of curiousity what have you done to it since you've bought it? :P

Welcome to the club!

Extractors are cheaper from RPW. They're the exact same product. RPW buy in bulk from Hurricane.

Hmmmm, expensive. Better price (practically the same product but without the colour):

If you want it coloured, just hit it with some high temp paint.

They're actually the same blue colour. The photos on the RPW site are just showing the coating service they offer.

But the blue is just a paint so they don't rust on the shelf.

Best thing to do is strip the paint off and paint them in VHT flameproof paint or similar.
