Re: Buying a fto
Yea this guy had $5700 on it originally gut he's happy to take $4500 it has a couple little marks but that's wear and tear I guess and he had the auto gearbox redone last year, also has a new fuel pump . It's done 180k kms and its a mivec 2.0

Be mindful of that... I changed mine out to a Walbro in the last car.Scorpionwally8 wrote:also has a new fuel pump
They're extremely audible compared to the OEM pump...
Just something to listen out for - It might drive you insane if you ever notice it...
A constant whhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm coming from the back of the car, that you can even clearly hear on the highway... Not fun.

Re: Buying a fto
Just from the pictures I'd be inclined towards the maroon one. What's the other info on it?

Re: Buying a fto
I'm going up to test drive the purple fto today as I'm keen on that one as it has done less kms than the maroon one
