Jack's FTO GR
Well here she is... I was going to call her "Red Rocket" but until Bennoz finds a new colour, I'll have to ponder a name for a little while longer!
Purchased her off a nice young Asian bloke in November 2011, and the car was intended for the girl but she fails at Veilside parking
It is my first Japanese car! My previous cars were overly powered vintage Commodores, but when I realized that I shouldn't be driving such boganwagons, I sold up and took the FTO, and bought a stock one for the girl!
Here's a list of what's been done thus far
MAKE: Mitsubishi
MODEL: FTO GS
YEAR: 1995 (Non-MIVEC 6A12 Tiptronic swap)
CURRENT MODIFICATIONS:
EXTERIOR:
- Veilside Front Bar
- Veilside Side Skirts
- PDW 'Fuzion' Wheels
- Custom paintjob
- GP Version-R Spoiler (original spoiler)
- Tinted Taillights
PERFORMANCE / UNDER THE HOOD:
- K&N Pod Filter
- 3" Magnaflow mandrel-bent catback exhaust
- Bennoz' old alternator (MUST make me faster)
- Whiteline front & rear strut braces
- Whiteline rear sway bar
- Whiteline polyurethane bushes
- Replacement droplinks
- GPX control arm conversion
- Replaced tappets
- Aluminium radiator
- Custom sprayed engine bay
- Polished intake manifold
- Polished rocker covers
INTERIOR:
- Momo Formula steering wheel
- Painted door handles
- Painted speaker covers
- Carbon fiber centre console
- 2X 2000W Pioneer Comp Series " subwoofers
- Clarion 280W splits - Front
- Kicker 6X9 350W - Rear

Re: Jack's FTO GR
So today, I got a little bored and thought that my interior wasn't quite red enough...
Decided that my speaker covers were a little boring, so I pulled out the paint and went to work!
I used VHT caliper paint because:
A) It was all I had left in red stock.
B) It matches the passion red perfectly.
C) I really like the matte effect for the interior!
A few coats of red later...
Made a stencil...
A bit of liquid chrome...
TADA!!
I think it's a job well done

Re: Jack's FTO GR
Apparently it's a parking sensor, and that box is a switch to turn it on and off... It's on the black GR as well so I assume it was a factory thing...
Found a switch for it under my steering wheel...
...Flicked it...
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP*
Realises that the sensor's behind my Veilside bumper and that there's a reason it's switched off!
