Hi gentlemen n' ladies,

Its time for me to sell my beloved FTO. ITs priced to go as I've just received an overseas job posting and I kinda need to sell it urgently. If its not out by next month, it'll go to the dealers. So help a fellow fto driver out here, spread the word!

Thanks to all in advance.
Dave.

what kind of aftermarket traction have u got?

davefto · Post by **davefto** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:30 pm

frankly speakin', i'm not too sure 'bout such mechanical aspects of the car. but theres a noticeable difference when its on/off. When its off, "launching" or starting off from a slow rolling start (its a tip but) will result in a slight wheel spin - cool of course. but if the traction control is on, the wheels grip to the aspalt as bees to honey resulting in a perfect launch.

the traction control was installed by the previous owner.

hope that answers your qns.

i would imagine the traction control was installed by mitsubishi, as it was a factory option

I could have sworn I just read that your car has an electronic supercharger?

What the?

AERODYNAMIST >> I'm not too sure, but i'm gonna check it out tmr.

Bucket >> yea, its just this contraption that sucks in more air into the air filter, with an on/off switch

I did the excersize of dealer pricing when I was told of all the bad things that my FTO had and how much to fix.

I used 2 brokers and a dealer best price was $10,000

So I fixed my baby(else where for much less) and am very happy.

hmmm, good for u. but unlike your's, theres nothin' wrong with ma babe, its priced this low simply because i'm leaving the country soon and would prefer to make a private sale.
