preferably with minimal modifications (stock body kit) around 100km's

willing to pay up to $13,000 for one with low kms, and few mods such as exhuast/rims.

cheers

Does it have to be a tip ??? And face lift or not ???

Only reason I ask, is that I was originally after a black tip .. Took a couple for a drive, and was thinking of a tip so my missus could drive it ... I was never 100% happy with the tip, and when a black manual came up, I took it ..

Other then that, there is Charlies GPvR which is tip, going for 10k ... Only thing is it is white... But as a pro, it is a versionR and has the nicer spoiler and kit of the FTO's IMHO ... So it may be worth coming to NSW to pick it up ...

But anyway good luck in the hunt ..

hmm yeah ive been tossing up between manual and tip, but it seems that the fto tip system is top class.. really need to take one for a test drive. but tip seems a lot more practical atm.

haha, IMO the gpx kit and wing look better.. each to their own. hmm traveling to nsw is abit of an effort! haha just going to stick with things in Vic atm.

cheers

Have you thought of importing yourself ...

Jspec get a few FTO's, and Nagoya motors near me usually has a few.. And Nagoya ship anywhere .. I had a friend get his car shipped to Broken Hill ...

Just keep in mind that the tips will be slower than the manual, if you're happy with that then by all means buy it.

Anyhow, for 13k you should be able to find yourself something nice. GL.

yeah it looks like the only way to get a decent stock gpx in melb is by importing them, but im abit hesitant about importing at this stage, becuase once the car is chosen and it is brought down here i have already paid 1/2 the price of the car without even driving it (as told by the manager of Jap sports imports) im just waiting until they have some fto's in their car yard to check out.

yeah also realize that manuals will be quicker, but after driving my 1.5L lancer around for 6 months anything feels like a rocket
