Hi everyone
A few days ago I got the girlfriend a FTO & have been busy servicing & working on bodywork Fantastic car although it does have a niggle with it at mo See tech help I want to thank you all as I found so much good information on here.

Ive always had jap cars & at the moment I drive a evo v I have a Mr2 as well but its just a runabout

My old car was a stripped out EP3 civic type-R
Spent way to much on that one :lol:

Ive had a few vti & a crx as well Oh & once owned a Xr2 :oops:

When we picked it up the paint was in a bad way. This is her after a good clay & 3 stage meguirs looks much better.
There is so much that needs doing :roll:

And not enough time :lol:

Looks very well - good job on the detailing.

You're gonna be kept busy cleaning an FTO, MR2 and Evo.

Ignore that zorst that will be coming off to :lol:

for some nice jap can & propaly the alloys to for some enkies etc....
Took ages & claying is knackering. The paint really was knackered But after lots of clay bar the paint feels like glass now

.
Yesterday night i finally got the piece of crap induction off it Looked like a £5 halfords filter put on :roll:

So that came off & nice airbox with fresh panel filter went on

I also did the headlight polish tip that I read on here They now look new

So cheers to the site for that 1 :wink:

Next I need to stick some nice silkolene in her Change auto fluid & coolant.
How much coolant do I need to buy If im buying ready mixed stuff?
