The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Hi Everyone!!

Just brought an FTO GR 96' tip and love it!

Given it a nice 3 stage meguires polish and its gleeming!!

I had to trade in my imported Pulsar GTI (loved that car) because the gearbox failed for the 2nd time within 14months, 5th gear kept popping out and the part was expensive!!

So will see you all around on the forum

edit - Just ordered these for it too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123
should look nice gonna collect them on saturday!

Welcome along mate and best of luck with the FTO. Get some pics up when you get a chance!

That guy sure likes his pies....

Welcome, best of luck with your new FTO!

Cheers all will remember the pies lol

Aint even had a chance to put the wheels on yet but am just ordering some brake discs / pads to put on at the same time as the wheels.

Was looking at some EBC's as they are zinc plated but they only do the fronts

Any other suggestions for zinc plated discs? I brought 3G discs for my Pulsar and they rusted up around the edges and bell in about a day .... wasnt impressed!

Do you reckon it will look wierd having ebc's on front and standards on rear??

Also bit of a knocking noise coming from the suspension or something ... gotta get that checked at the same time

Here ya go mate: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... 0s535p3906

Suspension bushes probably need to be changed, I know mine do!

Welcome btw, best of luck with the car, I can't stop looking out the window at mine. Gotta give mine a clean tomorrow, hope the weather is good...

Nice one uncle B, im thinking its the Suspension bushes too, thanks for the link

Yeh i need to wash mine too, black cars are hard to keep clean!! got all saturday to do it if weathers good (well till gf comes over at 5ish)

Got some nice glaze to go on http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/glazes/po ... d_494.html special stuff for black cars

Plan is:

Wash
Clay
Paint cleaner
Glaze
Wax

.... well thats thats the plan lol

Throw a hardener on too after the wax, keeps the shine for longer, Autoglym Extra Gloss I think is the one I use.

What's the clay stuff
