ohhh... so you're the guy who bought the car i wanted!!

...too bad i bought my car 2 weeks earlier!

hehehe... how's the beast treating you so far?

MarkFTO · Post by **MarkFTO** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:23 am

shes good. Only running a low boost about 0.8bar at the moment due to the weather. Still more than fast enough for me. Cars still got a few issues and i think the paddle clutch is on the way out so yet more expense.

Now she is running 90% or so i can start on the propper modding rather than fixing which is how i have spent most my time since i got her.

Hey guys, I registered here a while ago but I haven't posted because I don't own a FTO, I actually own a Lancer, but I want to put a FTO engine in it

. Actually today I went to a couple of car dealerships to look at a FTO and take one for a test drive, but none of them would let me (found 3 MIVEC manuals, including a GPvR). Anyways back to details

Name - George
Age - 23
Location, Glenorie, NSW
Car - stock Lancer

i'm pretty sure some members from NSW would be happy to take you for a spin in one... Perhaps you should rock up to a cruise/meeting sometime and get to know the members and the car more...

and try this trick if you wanna test drive - rock up to a dealership in business attire (ie: suit + tie) instead...

Phill · Post by **Phill** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 3:56 am

Heya... Just came here tonight, looking at buying a new import... and it's a beautiful show down between a 96 Supra SZ-R and the 95 FTO GPX... And luckily, I'm thinkin we've won... hehe

kk, the Names Phill, AKA, Phill

19 soon, and well yeah.. i'm lookin at getting a 95 GPX... I live in Geelong (VIC)... if anyone is near, drop me a PM or a buzz on MSN...

Take care guys.. I'll talk to you soonish!

Hellsmurf · Post by **Hellsmurf** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 2:57 pm

hey everyone, new here...

I'm looking at getting an FTO, preferably a manual GPX (like everyone else

), but I'll have to get rid of my current ride, which is a 1969 MGB - nice car, but just not enough power...

anyways, the real names Dave, I'm 18 and I'm from Sydney...btw please don't ask about the nickname/avatar, i have to explain it in every forum I join!

Hey Mikey, yeah I'm considering on going to on the cruise organise for this weekend, but I'm not sure if I can make it yet.

As with the test drive, I think it was more along the lines that I was unsure about the car (I was saying that i'm considering eith buying an FTO or making my Lancer faster), so they didn't see me as definate customer, and I don't like lying at a dealership (did that once before to test drive a new Astra Turbo

).
