My 95 GPX Manual
Timed at 0-60 at 6.48secs - 1/4 mile in 14.7 secs. Probably the quickest FTO in Ireland.
Don't really know where to start but here goes:
Imported the cars 2 years ago as a standard GPX and since then a summary of the following parts have been added:
Engine/Trans/Clutch/Exhaust :
Recent service - Aux belts changed Power Steering/Alternator/Air Con - Have recently removed the entire Air Con system to reduce weight and reduce load on the engine including the fan, condenser, belt, tensioner and all assoc pipework - ttl weight loss of approx 40kgs.
The cambelt (timing belt) has been replaced twice - most recently 1K miles ago when I also replaced the waterpump and a coolant change.
Aux belts replaced including tensioners.
Replaced the standard spark plugs with colder "Denso Iridiums" - better performance/economy and they last 60K miles to boot.

Head gasket replaced
Radiator ionised blue slam panel added.
Recent oil change using fully synthethic 0W-50 motorsport oil.
Recent Clutch change (Camskill replacement).

Practically brand new Blueflame Quad exhaust - including decat (bolt on CAT also provided) - value circa 800Euros.
Turbo Timer - warm your car on those cold winter mornings - cool it down after a blast.
Suspension/brakes/wheels/tyres
Front and rear droplinks replaced - ALL bushes replaced - with poly bushes where available oncluding ARBs - increased castor poly bushes on the front and rear.

Probably left out LOADS of bits I can't remember at the moment - it recently flew through NCT and if you can find a better condition 95-98 FTO for sale at the moment then take their arm off.
Price - 8,450 Euros ONO - an absolute bargain when you consider the amount of money spent on this car over the past 2 years - the car needs nothing done to it mechanically.
Would love to hold onto this car - but the recent arrival of a 350Z and an upcoming wedding - means the FTO has to go.
I can be contacted on 087 2737794 or send me a PM.
apart form a new home.
with those rims btw).
