Hi all,

Well they are my vitals. I own two Mitsubishi Galants, one is the GSR with the AWD VR4 running gear and a stroked 4G63. The other I picked up a week ago and is the V6 model galant. I'm always on the look out for performance advise and as i'm new to the 6A12, thought this would be a great start.

Cheers Trav

Yes! On the left facing Taylor Sq. I live in Potts Point, just down the road.

Ok Guys/Gals, I have been reliably informed that this is the place for newbies to say hi. So HI from Kilkenny, Republic of Ireland.
I drive a 96 Gpx auto, blue which I imported myself into the Irish Republic via Barcelona, Spain (from Osaka).
Jap dealers in Ireland are bandits but I am mega pleased that I did it myself. So guys/gals please do not be strangers.

Always loved FTO's, and finally got around to buying one. Brings a smile to my face everytime I drive it.

Love the D Cuatro kit!!!!. Welcome to the forum.

Yep there is an fto in ireland with over 400 members, (www.fto-ireland.com) and there is one in the U.K, (www.ftooc.org). So you see guys/gals, you ain't alone.
I came across a very good item on fto's in the Wikipedia and among the things it lists is the amount of fto's produced and how many by the year. Have a go at http://enwikipedia.org/w/indexphp?title=Mitsubishi_FTO. Thanks for the welcome folks

Hi all!

My name is Joe, I'm 31, I live in Ringwood Victoria and I'm an alcoholic... no wait, wrong forum!

I signed up here a couple of weeks back and I didn't even own an FTO lol. Since then I've actually purchased one and not from just anywhere but from a member (jester) right here at FTO Australia!!!

So I now own a beautiful 1996 FTO GPX Pyrenees Black with Green Pearl. It's a 5 speed manual with other features including Apexi springs, Jap Exhaust, High Flow Cat and a Version R Front.

It was when I played the first Gran Turismo game on the PlayStation that I had my first encounter with the FTO. For those familar with the game it was the FTO LM Edition (Black). I fell in love straight away. That was almost 8 years ago and still to this day my eyes cannot get enough of this car!

Back then I wasn't much of a car buff but when I first set my eyes on the FTO something inside me changed. I didn't realise man could create such beauty with a car. Anyway since then I've always dreamed of one day owning one. On Saturday the 21st of January that dream actually came true!!

Just yesterday I ordered my custom plates. In tribute of my first encounter with the FTO, Gran Turismo (1-4) and the awesome game that it is, my registration is a slim black plate to match the car and the plate reads "GTFTO".

I'll post some pics soon but in the meantime I'm on the lookout for some nice rims and a Version R rear spoiler to satisfy my asthetic needs. I think a search right here at FTO Australia Forums is a good place to start!

Anyway I look forward to good times ahead on the road and right here in this forum.

Ahhh, you bought a tear to my eye. Welcome!

I'd be the oldest female here and I like to class it as "mature" (Shut up Pete! Just getting in before the comments start!!! )

This is Peter's boss, I've had to send him to hospital as he was laughing so hard from this poor attempt at humour.

You will be receiving a medical invoice for the trouble you've caused.

Hehe thanks guys,

I feel at home already, especially with the 'old people' comments lol. I feel I can undo my pants and slouch back on the couch with the remote resting on my belly already lol.
