Hi from Germany...

Postby Cerberus » Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:07 am

Hello, my name is Daniel i'm 26 years old and live in the "Ruhrpott" part of western Germany... *don't hit me for that* :lol: i buyed a FTO GPX last year (95 reg - tip) and been driving it for 3 months till my head gasket left me this winter (to less glycofin)... :shock: now I'm trying to find repair stuff and get the lady back on the roads... but that's another (and until now a difficult) story.

Also I'm trying to find stuff to do a manual conversion on my car but at least FTO parts are hard to find in Germany (unless there are only about 10 FTOs in Germany at all - and nobody really thinks about breaking it)...

Personally i'm very interested in cars, watches, vacations around the world, cooking, animals, (not cooking animals :k ), music, ehr - what more to say... ???

that's the car:

that's me:

probably a day with a bad coffee at the start of it...

Hope for nice discussions and inspiring mindchanges...

Hi Daniel,
Well, if you enjoy travelling the world. Please rent a transit van and visit the UK lol
Plenty of breakers around at the moment that would be selling spares ect or even the goods to get you set with a manual conversion.
you got a lovely looking car there, WTTC :)
Life is my FTO Baby .....

Welcome to your Mr. Daniel.

http://www.camskill.com They do everything you'll need both OE and spurious. Obviously shipping will be enpensive for larger items but you'll get what you need cheaper than most places. For modifications google rb-performance.

Happy FTOing.
Currently in my collection:

'79 Mini Clubman 1380cc ~100BHP (I hope)

@ Dilgoat86 and colm_mcm
Hey,... that link helps a lot... the car will be brought to my uncles engine repair garage for gettin' the engine re-done this week or next... and 'cause no mitsubishi dealer in germany can deliver any of these parts that link is very very very very very (did i say very?) help- and usefull... so thanks for that!!! :smt007

@cmasterson
Hey... Danke der Nachfrage, mir geht es gut! Und selbst?

@jimbo_GR
Will think about that... my girlfriend allways askes me about visiting the UK... she will be amused if i tell her we're doin' it for collecting spare parts for the car... but who knows... she loves the car - so maybe she should take the circumstances it causes... :smt005
