Dave and MfFTO parked up in the Paddock at Mondello for the Prodrift over the weekend.

They're all Nissan FTO Rip-Offs

Lovely line-up..

Where did you order your body-kit..I've been look at eBay to order one, but can't seem to find it anywhere..

The didn't do too many colors did they?

Nice, was look at one during the weekend. Was never going to buy it but was nice to look and sit in one. Issue we have is lack of space for car seat and buggy.

Do you think these will be the new fto's in 10 years time? Not many cars out at the moment that can take that mantle IMO.

Carbon Fibre copies of the nismo kit are like hens teeth - apparently can just be sourced through Japan - just fitted the carbon air dust and splitter but the splitter arrived in with a few marks on it due to bad handling. Hence I'm now talking to the supplier about getting their sh1t together so that I don't have the same issues with the carbon side skirts, rear spats and Nismo spoiler I've ordered and am waiting on - On the plus side they've agreed to ship another front splitter with the remaining order so if I get in an arguement with a speedbump I'll at least have a replacement.

Nice lineup lads. Did you 'track' them? Is there an online Irish following whereas the 3 - fiddy is concerned?

I reckon they could be the new cult jap car - they are an excellent base to start with - good looks, plenty of aftermarket parts, good power and RWD. Only issue I see in this increasingly heavily taxed Ireland is that 3.5L V6 will get hit hard for either tax on engine size or CO2 emissions. Road tax is already 1400 a year though my insurance is considerably lower than on the FTO

Your looking at the Irish following of the Zed club (Part of the 350Zukownersclub) - never been as many Zeds together on Irish soil.

Didn't get a go on track - we were there just to watch the prodrift - which was excellent craic. We did get to park up in the paddock though which was a bonus - surprising amount of interest in the Zeds -

Nice1 - It's already a nice car - but it'll look deadly once it's kitted out..

Am in the process of trying to convince the missus that she'd love a 350z..Instead of the Golf (that way I get to keep the FTO)..

1800 for Road tax? Is that right? and I thought 205 for the fto was bad.

So bad you had to say it twice!

nah - its something like €1345 - I can't remember off the top of my head but its a hell of a lot to pay for the crap roads I drive on in the West of Ireland.

[Dave]

it's €1343 for road tax!!! Which is a scandal in itself!!

It was a good meet I have to say and the Zed's got plenty of interest!!

Roll on the meet the end of September, I'll have my kit fitted too by then!!
