Hey WTTC

Although I can't see any badges I would suspect that is a 'car of the year' FTO ;)

ah well i always had a soft soft for Mitshus... brother has had evo 7-10 current 10 mr .. i had 2 vr-4 HJ and Gen 5 VR-4 TT .. sold it to find my stupid obsesion with R34... now have the fto and 34 :) plus vectra C 07 for the mrs n baby


Goto say the FTO is a lot better built then the Galents .. in mechanical form.. Interior is similar instead of clips more screws are used which is great :) unlike nissans all clips all over break one .. then let the rattle begin !

Actually no i didnt .. i dumped the badges and the factory stripes that went all along the car ... cleaner look ..i had no idea these were limited edition ones.. i actually looked for a silver one everywhere couldnt find one to my liking... so settled for this.. id swap for a silver one in a heart beat lol

funny enough i used some old rags bag of rags are like 20 bucks from supercheap.. as all the crap comes out needed to wipe it ..

final polish yeah id recomand microfibre towels :)

found something use normal car polish to wax the glass and buff off to remove crap and scratches

et me know of u need a hand i can come around and help on weekends ..

yea man will let u know. i went to buy paint mixture too but the dude didnt know what colour paint my car was even though it said it clearly under the bonnet. really wanna start experimenting with the paint to get rid of the ugly scrapes that the buffer cant get rid off
