Re: Jess' FTO build / questions thread
I mean do you just press the switch once and they automatically fold in, same with out. So you don't have to keep the switch pressed until they're folded all the way.

Hm.. bit too much involved than I thought! Was looking into buying indivisual parts but now might give it a go if I ever get a donor car.

Re: Jess' FTO build / questions thread
As you can see I already have the same amp installed, twice...
I would install your one into the Galant

delayed
Went in to take some more photos this morning. Don't seem like he made much progress. I must be one of the most annoying customer ever,, dropping in every 2 sec to check up on the car... Respect to the mechanic with putting up with my impatience.
Looks like there is a chance I wont be able to make the bonfire with the FTO!
Still in one piece! Dying to know whats the heck is in that cylinder..

Worst kind of customer
Just bring another car to the bonfire, that's what half of us do these days anyway..

Yup, It's official
Yup, It's official... 1. I'm the world's most annoying customer.. Went to the shop again to drop off the strut brace and for more photo... and 2. I won't be driving the FTO to the bonfire.
Still up to rocker cover

Dont look bad at all

spark plugs, seal & gasket set

Haven't heard of this brand but its Korean made.


Lovely to see the green coolant

radiator flush is in order I think..

ETA: early next week.
Cant wait.. losing patience..!
Was thinking about painting the rocker cover while its out..? in Silver maybe maybe to keep it looking like stock. Has anyone done this on FTO? I'm thinking it might not be worth it because the engine cover will hide it anyway.

Why did they get 0.4mm spark plugs. Factory spec is 0.8mm
