My FTO
Alright thought I might post a couple pics of my car - perhaps an FTO to look out for if your in Christchurch
Its pretty standard at this stage - got a Pod filter and in the second pic I've got my Tein adjustables in, although they need some attention before they go in full time - just waiting on some lowered springs to arrive (from beme007 i believe - sorry if i got spelt you name wrong)
The third pic is of some wheels Im lookin at getting - What do you guys think?? They are Ray's Engineering 18x7.5 Chromes. Would be good to get some feedback.

Hey man,
That blue does look very nice in the sun, and getting rid of that gap above the front wheel always makes the whole car look that much nicer.
Not a fan of chrome on the wheels myself, bit bling for me!
Any more plans for her in the future? Have to say a new steering wheel and some new dials are still the best money spent on mine.

I've got a nice leather steering wheel with and Isotta shift light sitting in my bedreoom for it actually - as for the dials - Could be keen if you can point me in the direction of where to get some??Any more plans for her in the future? Have to say a new steering wheel and some new dials are still the best money spent on mine.
I bought it with intentions of making it a show car - Theres a company over here in CHCH that make a body kit for the FTO ive been looking into (They do a rip off veilside front - they also do a nice looking, more subtle skirt kit) . And id quite like a Carbon fibre bonnet and GPvR type Spoiler for the back. I could go on for ages about things running through my head but it will come down to what money allows
Bad news - I lostthe thing i want to konw is that how did u go draging that honda type r ? u win ?
and your fto was fully stock bak at that time ?
That Type R had quite a bit of work done performance wise and he werent running on pump gas either. He run a 13.5 on that run
I was pretty consistant around the 15.2 - 15.3 mark that day. Car was stock apart from a POD filter. Only had it for a few weeks - it still had the rather perished tyres it come from Japan with and was still getting used to the car - excuses excuses I know [/quote]

I got my dials from the UK - http://www.funkystyling.co.uk and http://www.kmc-products.com have some in at the mo. Not sure bout any in this hemisphere though.
I'm always amazed how nice the interior comes up with only a few tweeks. Plenty of guys that have gone a lot further than me have pics on here if you're after any more ideas!
Those wheels are pretty similar to my 17's. Damn fiddly to clean, but hey
EDIT:
Could be interested in that VR spoiler if u find a source over here... doubt my bank balance could stretch to the rest of the kit!

Thats the one - prices seem pretty good to me - My pricelist says:Is that Aerotech in ChCh you're looking at? hmmm... tempting. I'd forgotten they were there.
Front skirt - $320
Side skirts - $550
Rear skirt - $320
Combat style rear wing - $600
Veilside front - $620
+ gst on all of these i believe
Im pretty keen on this skirt kit

I catch my standard front on loads of entrances/exits as it is, so nothing on the front for me i'm afraid. There are some petrol staions and shops up here I simply can't go to, no matter what angle i take them at!
Shame rear wing's so pricey. Probably cheaper from UAS even with shipping.

mighty pretty there Jay, im from chch too, are you a member of msport?
would be good to catch up at a cruise once im rolling again, also talk to hamish from msport, he has a 94 GPX manual, in silver.... good to see a few local members discovering the boards...
Is it me or are FTO's getting rarer? open up the auto trader... not 1 for sale!
