Which Workshops Specialise In FTO's In Melbourne??
Hey All,
I've had my beast since 2001 and he needs some love.
Seeing as all you people are very knowledgable when it comes to our awesome car, the Mitusubishi FTO.
I'd like to know once and for all, which workshops specialise in Mitsubishi FTO's in Melbourne.
Lets put together a definitive list if we can!

ahhhh yeah theres are few work shop been list a few times already. May be the mod would like to make a sticky out of the list.
Anyway there are two very popular workshop in melb.
SL Motorsports
0414 738 781
Lots of FTO owners (members & non-members) go there for regular & major services, they also do performance parts upgrade.
The boss, Lee, for some reason can find some hard to get parts for FTO, like sunroof with fame, & almost all of us in Vic had our alternator reco at SL by now.
Power House GENESIS Racing
2 Cottage Street Blackburn 3130
(03) 9894 0268
These guys offer dyno tuning, turbo conversion (Mikey's beast), performance upgrade & of course regular & major services too. They do cost a bit more, but they go extra mile to please customer, like pickup your car & return it the same day.

Thanks very much for your response FTO338, its really appreciated. Thanks for taking the time out to list a few places that specialise in our car, i really need a replace right now.
Took my car to my local guy to just do a service tonight and turns out I may very well have oil pressure issues sheesh, sounds pricey.
Dont like the sound of that and he doesn't have the knowledge to take apart an FTO mivec engine and diagnose the issue. So Im gonna need someone who knows an FTO very well to take a look.
I notice it says on your profile that your central? Im in Southbank, thats central.. probably not far from each other. Anyway, thanks again for the info, i'll give those guys a call tommorrow and ill keep you posted with the details if you like..... wish me luck

Well he took over around july/aug last yr, & thats when I did the job.EURO wrote:when did you do the computers? the current owners of southport have only been there hrmm like 12 months?
your doctor must be near the light rail then
well you know, prevention is the best cure haha
yeah my doc is at the light rail, & I only seen him once since i move to porty hahahah I only see a doc like once every 3-4yrs
W.R Sounds good, but I think EURO might not be here then, & of course we want the official cruize to go ahead.

Talk about bad experience, I had my old car service at one of the Mitsubishi dealer, & one of the guy there stole my coin box in the glove box, there only like $30 bucks of coins, so I didn't make too much fuss about it, but I did complaint on the spot to the service manager, & he just point to a A4 size signs that said "we are not responsible for you belonging"
Good things about it though, this dealership had since close, & sell VW instead, but I wouldn't take my VW there, even if they pay me.
