Just got back fto from england last night after picking my fto up. I love the car best drive home ever. M6 to Liverpool and on the boat then floored it home. So my next question is now what to do, keep everything standard or start moding. The car is standard except for the interior.

Congrats tripleH!

It's a matter of taste really.
Personally I think any fto could do with atleast being lowered.

I'd start with replacing all belts, fluids, filters and possibly drop links.

Atleast then you wont have to worry about any of that stuff in the near future.

Any pictures?

hello h,you should see me about belfast,ive a silver fto.................. nice driving cars arent they,wot colour is she?.

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing pics.

Modding is a slippery slope... some easy inexpensive things to do to that can update the look of the car without going over the top.

lowered=good - better handling as well.
induction kit = good - not much bhp but you won't regret the sound!

has it got HIDs - another worthwhile upgrade IMO.

Ok ill give it a whirl. its sivlery grey colour live in carrick direction belfastman. what is hid's. only thing that needs done to her is the steering gaters replaced , two scratches removed and a small dent removed from the drivers side door. what induction kit would u recomend. dont know if my insurance will let me lower it (20yr) but nearly 21. lol. oh and also there is a funny rattle cumming from the front passengers seat i think it is the back rest adjuster any ideas,

as for the seat , it's really easy to take it out & check
:wink:

as for modding or not your baby .. well depends of what you really want + how much are you willing to invest in her
tips : Lowering springs / bigger alloys / induction kit .. and the list is ssssoooooooo long :lol:

good luck
