Out of interest, how much did it set you back Stevo? Did you buy trade or private? If it was trade, is it advertised anywhere at the moment?

PHPBB is pretty widespread

You need to host them on some webspace and link from within your post (using IMG ot URL tags). If you don't have webspace, email them onto me and I'll post them up.

Nice... The spoiler looks very well from that angle.

what's written on the side by the way, can't quite make it out in the pic?

Have you all kinds of projects lined up for it already? Just installed a bluetooth phone car kit in mine, but having problems with it and my S55 phone. Support guys reckon it might be faulty...

Looks well stevo, is it my imagination or is the Mitsi badge missing from the front? The Kahn replicas and veilside skirts look great but I'd be inclined to remove the grey graphics above the skirts once you get everything sorted.

By the way, was this the original ad?

MITSUBISHI FTO AUTO 1994. Red, alloy wheels, boot spoiler, NCT 10/05, #4,850. Contact: 085-6183010.

time for a plug :wink:

any serious performance stuff give me a shout, we're the agents for RPW over here, currently fitting a turbo to my GS

by **Myfeckin FTO** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 2:06 pm

A small bit of work St3vo and she'll be a beauty - Red can look very well when polished up - My last Tip GR was Red.
Try and make the up and coming rolling-road day so we can get a good look.

by **St3vo** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 2:56 pm

Dave.... i'll be on to you alright! Your fitting a turbo sweet... how much and when can you fit onto mine!

I didn't know about any meet coming up.... i'll wait until i get some work done on it before i go to anything

Heh, went to my first meet, with my FTO a bit rough - left front wing had a bad respray job before I got it (since sorted) and my front wheels were different to my back wheels (sorted too). Yours looks better as it stands already! :wink:

Check out the meets forum for info on the meet, getting actual bhps on a rolling road. Feb 26th is the date set for it at the moment.

Kev.

by **Dave** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 5:31 pm

you should come to the meet, check out other peoples cars and give yourself a good idea of what's out there and what you could do to your own baby! oh and check out what kind of power is to be got! :twisted:

by **St3vo** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:20 am

Heh mine doesnt sound too bad now! lol
I might try and swap it for a manual though........

by **St3vo** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:36 am

I need to get a whole new center bezel thing. The radio surround and the gear stick surround. Does anyone know where i can get one.

Does anyone know what the bhp is on the 2l 24valve V6?

PM steelroe (Rory), he should be able to sort you out with something.

The GR is 167bhp (170PS) while the GPX is 197bhp (200PS), my guess is that you have the GR

CJ

by **Mustang** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 12:20 pm

the mivec engine GPX has ~197bhp.
The non mivec engine GR has ~170bhp
Which have you got?

by **St3vo** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:11 pm

mines the non mivec.
I think it has been tuned though

by **Myfeckin FTO** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:13 pm

Ooo! You gotta be careful coming out with statements like that on here! :lol:

How do you mean "tuned" exactly?
