FS: 2001 RalliArt FTO GPX Manual

Postby Mitsumaniac » Wed Mar 23, 2011 7:07 pm

The time has come to sell my pride and joy. I bought myself a new motor now so unfortunately FTO is looking for good home.
It`s a genuine Rellyart version, one of the very last leaving the factory, officialy imported to the UK by RallyArt (not a grey import), produced in 2000, but found her 1st owner in September 2001.
It`s Manual 2.0 V6 Mivec, 79k miles on it. The car is very clear inside and out, it`s polished every couple of weeks,
some stonechips on the front bumper, as you may expect on the car of this age, nothing major though.
The car has 2 airbags, ABS, automatic air-con, el. windows, el. folding mirrors, Clifford Concept 650 Mk2 alarm and immob. (cat. 1)

This car was a weekend toy from the begining and I am the 3rd owner.
I have FULL SERVICE HISTORY for this car, all MOTs and receipts.

2001/09/14 sold to 1st owner
2002 - Mitsubishi Sevice @ 4336 miles
2003 - Mitsubishi Sevice @ 7536 miles
2004 - MOT & service @ 10742 miles
2005 - MOT & service @ 14536 miles
2006 - MOT & service @ 22961 miles
2007 - MOT & service @ 34254 miles
2008 - MOT & service @ 50000 miles
2009/06 bought by me, full sevice done @ 64500 miles
2010 - serviced @ 70000 and 77000 miles
2011/02/25 - registration in Ireland - taxed till end of May and booked for NCT 02/04/2011. Just got log book on my name.

Since I bought it in June 2009 i`ve been mantaining this car as it should be, never abused or on the track.
I serviced the car every 6-7k miles with new 10W40 Castrol Magnatec oil and new oil filter, also changed timing belt shortly after I got the car, fuel filter has been replaced about a year ago. All front and rear anti roll bar bushes were replaced by poliurethane ones, squeeking alternator belt tensioner replaced few months ago. I also replaced cluth for Exedy one, changed gearbox oil and rear drop links (short ones) few days ago. Rear left wheel hub replaced for brand new one in Jan 2010.
The engine and gearbox run very smoothly and I never had any mechanical problems with this car.

There`s few sensible mods on the car like:

1. ITG air filter with heat shield (just cleaned and impregnated)
2. Magnecor leads + new set of 6 platinium spark plugs
3. 8000k Xenons with slim ballasts
4. Carbon fibre radiator cover
5. Lowered on Apexi springs
6. Front and Rear strut braces
7. GTO TT 4 pot polished big brake upgrade with 317mm drilled discs(huge breaking improvement over the stock GPX brakes)
8. 17 inch geniune OZ Racing rims in still good condition
9. 4 brand new tyres - 2x Yokohama Parada Spec-2 on the front and 2x Vredestein Sessanta on the back, all 215/40/17
10. Blueflame quad S/S cat-back exhaust with de-cat pipe (currently OEM cat on the car for NCT but de-cat pipe included)
11.Black letherette interior with stiched FTO logo on the head rests
12.Carbon door steps
13.Some carbon interior trims

The car needs completely nothing to enjoy it for another year till next service. I also got spare 10W40 Castrol so can change oil for fresh at the day of sale.

Considering age, current condition, mods and extensive service history the price is 4400 euro but I`m willing to negotiate :)

Lovely looking FTO and a good price for it too.
Strange to see a '01 plate on an FTO! :)

If I had the wherewithal to keep such a car, I'd have it off you, FTOs in such good shape with tasteful mods don't come up for sale too often. GLWTS.

Is that the genuine RalliArt badge on the back bumper? As in the one that they put there in the factory?

No.

If I bought this FTO - this would be the only change I would make, i.e. removing this. Oh apart from changing the colour from red of course ;-)

Yes it is... saw the pics from previous owner who got them from 1st owner and he told the car came to him with this sticker.
Don`t know maybe they were just sticking them before 1st sale, theres few more ralliart stickers (like original instructions stickers) in the car like on passenger sun visor and in the glove box and under the bonnet.

Strange place for it, makes it look like a fake thing that someone would stick on, like someone putting a '3' after their M badge on a BMW or something. Wouldn't mind it saying RalliArt somewhere all right to let people know its a genuine edition but they could have put it somewhere better than that I think personally. I actually thought it was one of those metal badges first, didn't realise it was just a sticker.

Agree with you, actually I saw something similar on eBay :)
Saw another Ralliart FTO while ago on Pistonheads and had the same sticker but on the left side of the boot.
I just left it where it was.... think I got used to it :)

Anyone know where that video is of the Top Gear FTO review with Vicky Butler-Henderson ? I can't really recall but didn't think that it had the Ralliart on it.

€100,000 to the first person to find the clip and post it ! (terms and conditions apply - OP must win the lotto this week in order to allow provision of cash prize)

Did nobody ever tell you that this was the actual car driven by the lovely VickyB-H in the review posted above - got to be a claim to fame that will seal the deal for you with a potential buyer. :smt007

We're trying to sell you car for you here you know !!
