Sticking Power

Now thats a helluva slope on your driveway. How do you stop from bottoming out. And I want a set of those tyres. Anything that sticks that well has gotta be good. :wink:

Seriously though, welcome to the club.

    Just join up, being reading through the forums.

    Just got a 95 Limited Edition FTO about two weeks ago.

    Names Joe, living in Sydney (greatest city in THE world). Been looking around, thinking of making some upgrades in the near future so any feedback would be great.

    Cheers.

    WOW! NICE! is it tiptronic or manual? post some pics asap! i dont think anyone else has a "car of the year" version here (if they do im about to be corrected)

    keep searching for ideas, and browse the help section if you have any problems... if your searching for something we have a search bar link up there ^^^^^^^ somewhere.

    but definatly get some pics up with some stats etc, im sure theres more than a few interested, and its always nice to have new members :)

    welcome

    Tiptronic. Will post up some pics soon.

    Don't know much about the car, just love the look and the colour was a bonus (hardly see them around). As far as I know, everything is standard, just added new pioneer system. Had the car checked out before getting it, everything was sweet.

    The GPX Mivec, does it come in 4 & 5 speed automatice or just the 5?

    Thanks
    Cheers

    HI everyone. I'm a newbie to this site from New Zealand (don't hate me please 'cause I'm a kiwi). But I have a question if anyone can help. I am the owner of a 1997 FTO GP Verion R Mivec 5spd auto tip-tronic. She is red and I love her. BUT... I have to sell her and nobody in kiwi land seems to understand that she is different from your average FTO. Even the Mitsi dealers say she is nothing special. What should I be telling people?? Please help me anyone. I have logged onto www.mivec.co.nz but there are only about 400 users in our little wee land which is trivial compared to this site.

    Ps. If anyone over there wants to buy her please talk to me. I want $10,500 NZD for her. Sorry I have no pics yet!! :(

    Hi Algernon, welcome to the club, you can try post an ad at the "car for sale" section here, there are few NZ members here already & i'm sure schumie (also a NZer) can point you to the right direction.
