I was just gonna say that! I'm still burning that he never registered on the forum.. would like to know what happened to smurfy.

Probably scrapped .. And with those coilovers too .. Would love to have put em on the Evo/GSR ... I am not liking the ones on there now...

Well, I'm betting Smurfy has an Aero roof now ... Craig if you come down for our cruise in September then you can come see it in person

Sounds good.. Although I will be away 15-30 Sep ...

When was the cruise?

Would hate to see a lovely car like Smurf scrapped

It was around that time period, but I'm sure Corey might be open to doing it early September or October if need be so you can come along too.

Cool .. I am in ...

Should be good either way ..

You may see a little hate, but screw those guys...

If that was mine, I would go a Tan leather interior for seats, dash doors and all plastic parts there off. And a light tan suede roof and carpet..

But that is just me...

well buy another one and do it!

Was going to do it to Bobby ... But the Evo/GSR is already the project car.. + the bike, and the Swift ... Just not practical to have another FTO ... But maybe one day ... Will see how it goes... I do miss the FTO, and since Long (FRE55H) sold his, I haven't been in one in ages...

Screw what's practical!! I say you go for it! No one EVER gets an FTO for "practicality" x]

I did lol

And look where that got you ...

Bobby was a great car, and very practical .. Loved it .. But by practicality now, I mean with the Bike, Evo, and Swift, there is no reason for another car .. Again... I want to actually use my vehicles, and not just let them gather dust in a garage. And as much as I loved the FTO, the Evo is just on a whole new level... Then there is the bike...

Yeah, Evo is crazy fast for a car... and well Bikes are super car speed so it's in a league of its own. In case you didn't see the thread about the cruise, we've set the date for Saturday 12/09/2015 Craig, you still able to make it? Let the Evo stretch her legs

Ohh .. Haven't seen that date...

I think I am down in the Gong on that day .. Have to do my taxes...

Will have to double check what time I am booked in ...

We're getting together at Albion Park Hungry Jacks at 11am, and departing at noon. Taxes are no fun, do it a different day ;D... haha.

Already the 2nd time we postponed .. And that is the last time before we head off overseas...

Hahaha, dang alright. Maybe if you have time afterwards you can catch up with us at Kiama or something for photos.

Sounds like a plan ..

Man the dealer who sold me my FTO was dumb af...

Chassis No: DE3A0014709
Model Code: HRGHE
Model: GPX
Engine: 6A12 Mivec
Transmission: 4sp AT
Colour: A34C
Manufacture Date: Week 3, February 95
Option Code: 400
Interior Code: 02X

His ad said 1996 build date and 1999 import date. However, I looked up the VIN in NRMA and it backed it up stating it was 1996 build date. Guess something must have gone wrong. Unless it's possible that build date and manufacture date are different things...? o.O

Love the scissor doors looks nice mate .

Cheers dude, was a pain to get just right, but I got them to the point where they aren't perfect, but bareable. I remember taking them to Dwayne's (dstocks) and he opens the door and notices play in the door as it starts to go up and saying "That's not supposed to happen..."

And I was just like... "Yep... scissor doors..."

Get a lot of compliments on them at the gas stations and a lot of looks when getting in/out. Especially with the new wrap on it.

Need to update your avatar lol.

I will be updating it by next week, don't worry!!
