FTO AUSTRALIA

Welcome Quain, i'm guessing that you brought Kirby's car right?

Silver with front veilside bar & buddy club 16" wheels??

I use to live in Mulgrave too, a fair while ago now heheehe

Yeah Kirby is the guy i bought my fto off
Decent guy and gave me a sweet deal

As for Mulgrave its a nice place to live in... not too close to springy and glen waverly if you get my drift

i'd be more worried about dandenong
driving through there the other day i spotted a 17yr old
chick pushing a stroller into a tattoo parlour...
...i guess her centrelink check must've just come in

hello people
just signed up
coo site....
anyways heres a pic

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.

Seriously though, welcome to the club.

cheers........

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.

Welcome Joe...u didn't buy it off I guy from here did u?? he was selling his!!! he has a R33 also.

anyway welcome!!

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

yeah 4 is std u have the good version which comes in 5!! nice1....enjoy it dood.

Well i guess i see you at the next meet or cruise or i just have to drag u out of Mulgrave ahahaa

And JOeJOe, all pre facelift FTO comes with 4 spd tip (94-early 96) & of course post facelift are 5 spd. As far as i know all the limited edition's tip comes in 4spd.

thanks guys, thought i got jipped - my LimEd is a 4 sp auto. i read somewhere that the gpx mivec only comes in 5 sp auto, got me worried for a little bit there.

Anyway, can anyone tell me where in syd i could get upgrades? kits n stuff.

loving the ride, the car makes beautiful music.

only post 97 got the 5 speed

damn dude, id be keeping that as original as possible... you try and find another one! in 10 years watch the price hike

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.

Thanks FTO338. I will post for sale and try and work out who schumie is.

Hey all, Posted a few times about the place but I guess I could introduce myself properly

Name: Jamie (in case it was hard to figure out )
Age: 22
Location: Christchurch, NZ
Car: 96 Fto GPX - 5spd Manual - Dark Blue
Mods: Lowered on Tein springs and factory shortened shocks (Tein adjustables sitting on one of the couches at home begging to be put in) 18" Advanti Phantic wheels with 215/35 tyres. Custom extractors and 2.5" straight through exhaust with RPS Stainless muffler (4.5" Tip), Simota Pod Filter. Few other bits and pieces in the cabin too like aftermarket steering wheel, Gear knob, Isotta shift light. Just bought a Field Mivec controller/AFC which im hoping will arrive tomorrow so I can get that in the car too. a lot more planned . . . . .

Hopefully will be Dynoing the car next weekend - give me something to build off
