1st FTO eh ... Glad you enjoy it. If you have any questions all you need to do is ask

I'm on my 12th ... can't kick the habit. (only joking)

Hahhha don't laugh at people mate, G1 had 2 FTO before moving on to the Bora, & i had 2 FTO at one stage too.

lol ...sorry, it just sounded funny, like Jayr was planning to buy another few in the coming years.

Honestly though, welcome to the club mate. There are some top people in Melbourne and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help if you need it.

... and if G1 and 338 are anything to go by, then buying FTO's may become a habit

Hi guys, i'm Camo.

i'm from Melb.

And rims in the near future followed my a body kit, then a chip/turbo and leather interior further off into the future when i get more money =)

Hi Guys (and Gals)

Ally Fu here popping over from the UK forum, been lurking here for a while but never registered. However my company has blocked the UK FTOOC website on the firewall, so I need to get my fix elsewhere!

My current speclist is as follows:

1996 Mitsibishi FTO GPX [Black], Manual Transmission
Veilside skirts, Veilside spoiler, Veilside rear bumper, Bozz Speed front bumper
Custom made twin exit 4' exhaust with carbon tailpipes and Funky P decat pipe
Front and rear strut bars
18inch TSW EVO-R alloys refurbed in Hyper Silver (5 of)
Project F rear lights, customised in black
Side indicators tinted body colour plus D-speed side indicators (cant decide which I prefer)
Tenzo wipers
Lowered (in Japan - dont know which springs but my car seems to sit lower than cars on Teins, which are 45mm drop))
Shortened droplinks, Powerflex ARB bushes
Stainless steel braided brake hoses
Brembo big brake conversion
Leather interior (black and red, with FTO embroidery on front seats), inc doorcards, gear/handbrake gaitors and dash speaker covers
Trust gearknob, Razo pedals, Indiglo dials (just bought some of the new V3 style, but havent fitted them yet), Chrome dial rings
HKS induction kit (red filter, with chrome cage)
Samco hoses (red), Water/coolant/resevoir hoses (red)
Wizzards of NOS Streetblaster kit

Skint now though, so this list won't be getting much longer

Nice! I might be over in England later on this year so am looking forward to seeing some nice FTOs. I was over there for a month last year and only saw one - but it was a yellow 'Car of the Year' one, the only one I have ever seen!
