As Kev mentioned there is a turbosmart plumback blow off valve which still makes some noise when the throttle is closed but nowhere near as much as other types so you dont get the unwanted attention from mr plod.This type of blow off valve also has the advantage of increasing turbo efficiency by expelling pressureised air and then feeding that air back to the front of the turbo which futher helps keep the turbo on boost,instead of being expelled into the engine bay

theres more to life than just cars.

Keep telling yourself that. You might just believe it one day...

Seriously though, it is a shame when things have to come to end end. I don't think you will have any trouble selling your car though.

Thanks for the kind sentiments guys i really appreciate it

In response to mr stumpy the car has been dynod at 152kw at the wheels@7600rpm and does 0 to 100kph in around 5 seconds and yes when you accelerate it does put you into the back of your seat

While there are cars with wilder body kits or bigger turbos, as a complete package Scracy's car would have to be the best FTO in Australia.

Aside from the unique looks (body kit, altezza's, polished rims), and the top notch stereo, and the seats and the turbo, those who know Scracy will know how fastidious he is and how that translates to this probably being the best looked after car in Aus. as well.

This car drives like we would all like our FTO's to drive. Rather than feeling like a turbo, with lag and other issues, it feels like it simply has a much larger engine (e.g. 3.5L). It's so smooth to drive yet so powerful too.

If you were to buy a normal FTO, then do it up to be like Scracy's I reckon you'd have to spend about another $20-25K on top of the purchase price of the car. But even then I doubt the turbo would be as good nor would the car have been looked after as well.

Based on that, you do the maths, but I reckon if this car sells for $30K or less it would be an absolute bargain.

For all of u that didnt know, Ruchi is Scracy's car salesman

Ruchi, when im selling my car can u give it props as well!?!

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 11:22 am

Well you know if its good, it sale itself

So if you try do a "speech" on it, it would just over sale it, & might turn potential buyer away thinking "why this guy try to push this to my face"

But mil you seen scracy's car, you got to admit, is the best overall (performance, look & I.C.E) FTO in Australia.

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 1:02 pm

yeah, no doubt his car is overall the best FTO that ive seen in AUS. A lot of money and effort has been spent on that car. It a shame that he has to sell it.

I just find it funny how Ruchi always raves on about it
