I always knew that FTO Australia is the best source for anyone looking for informations on FTO engine conversions, but browsing through the forum the other day (mainly out of boredom) blew my mind, the quality of the images and posts/tutorials is really outstanding! Simply put I knew I had to register!

I first saw the FTOs about ten years ago at your end of the globe (during studies in New Zealand). I think it was the sound of the V6 and its curves that got my attention and made it stand out among the other Japanese sports cars.
In January I decided that life is too short to drive boring cars and went ahead and acquired manual 99 GPX in Scotia White.
It's mostly stock except for little things fitted by previous owners:
HKS Super Power Flow (mushroom) air filter
Sparco X-Fast gear knob
Razö sport pedals
and Magnacor plug leads
Every since I got the car I've been working on restoring it to it's former glory - taking apart and refreshing various bits etc. The mileage now is 118K kilometres.
Here is a few pictures:
