SOLD! For sale - 95 GPX NCT + TAX €1200

Postby cullen5998 » Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:52 am

So im selling my beloved FTO.
Image

More pictures of the car a few posts down.

This is the list of everything done to the car before i bought it from Topcat

For sale:

My 95 GPX Manual

Timed at 0-60 at 6.48secs - 1/4 mile in 14.7 secs. Probably the quickest FTO in Ireland.


Engine/Trans/Clutch/Exhaust :

Recent service - Aux belts changed Power Steering/Alternator/Air Con - Have recently removed the entire Air Con system to reduce weight and reduce load on the engine including the fan, condenser, belt, tensioner and all assoc pipework - ttl weight loss of approx 40kgs.

The cambelt (timing belt) has been replaced twice - most recently 1K miles ago when I also replaced the waterpump and a coolant change.
Aux belts replaced including tensioners.

Replaced the standard spark plugs with colder "Denso Iridiums" - better performance/economy and they last 60K miles to boot.

Induction: ITG Maxogen filter - recently cleaned and reoiled.

Stepper motor replaced.

Head gasket replaced

Radiator ionised blue slam panel added.

Recent oil change using fully synthethic 0W-50 motorsport oil.

Recent Clutch change (Camskill replacement).
Recent gearbox oil change.

Practically brand new Blueflame Quad exhaust - including decat (bolt on CAT also provided) - value circa 800Euros.

Turbo Timer - warm your car on those cold winter mornings - cool it down after a blast.

Suspension/brakes/wheels/tyres

Front and rear droplinks replaced - ALL bushes replaced - with poly bushes where available oncluding ARBs - increased castor poly bushes on the front and rear.

Dampers replaced with KYB dampers - Springs replaced with Apex lowering springs - circa 35% stiffer - much improved handling.

Steering arms and boots replaced.

Front and Rear strut braces.

Currently on the 2nd set of EBC Green stuff pads all round - Calipers painted blue. Recent brake fluid change.

Forged Magnesium "Work RSR" rims with new Bridgestone RE050 potenza tyres 215/45 17 - rims & tyres worth circa 700 Euros each - powder coated black.

Cosmetic

Exterior:

Top Mix front splitter
DC skirts - Moulded - expert job - Circa 2.5K Euros including respray.
Boot delocked and despoilered to give this FTO that PHATT look.
Rear and side tinted windows.
Debadged.
Clear side repeaters.
Blue front Mitsi badge, side Mivec stickers and blue rear FTO logo.

Interior

Colour-coded Isotta steering wheel, Gearknob/gaiter and handbrake.
Stainless Steel dials - light-up blue at night. Aluminium dial rings. Centre consol sprayed silver.
Factory electric sunroof.
Drilled alloy pedals and blue "Autostyle" FTO mats.

Misc

PIAA horn (to replace the weedy standard horn).
PIAA silicon wipers replaced.
Philips bluevision foglights/dims/headlights
Recent service done
Engine oil replaced
New alternator belt as the old one was a little worn
Gearbox oil replaced
Front brake pads replaced as back were still good.

Problem

Car probably needs a new gearbox as reverse can be very hard to get into at times.

I've wanted a bigger car for a while now, i love the speed buts its just too small for me.
Plus the reverse issue.
The car is worth more. I just want to sell it quick.

Yeah, that does seem cheap, but the gearbox thing might be an issue for prospective buyers.

Best of luck with the sale though.

I agree, it would be much easier sell with the gearbox fixed. Its priced so it would still be a cheap GPX even if the new owner got it fixed themselves.
The box is working some of the time, its not gone yet just very hard to get into reverse sometimes but im still driving it everyday.
Im looking into it being a broken or damaged selector rod at the moment so i'll hopefully get to the bottom of it.
Back in college now and dont really have the cash to sort it though :r

FTO's are hard to sell these days, no one will insure them.

It was spotted tonight out near jetland!

Tax until November i think, Nct until 01/2011

Its dark now so i'll take a pic tomorrow and put it up.

Had a bit of trouble with it stalling when in neutral(stepper motor) but cleaned it and its much better now.

No other known faults, engine perfect, tyres decent, exhaust perfect, suspension seems perfect.

I've priced it to sell quickly as i need the cash, not because the cars is in bits or anything :D

Not on donedeal yet or buyandsell, just adverts and here, was hoping someone here might take it as the car has a bit of history with the site and it would be good if it went to someone who would keep it in the club.

Car is sold to a fellow Fto owners club member so it'll be staying in the club :)

Guy got a great deal and should be able to have the car perfect again soon
Was sorry to see it driving away but needed the cash

Will consider buying another Fto in the future, what a car for not a huge amount of cash.

Best of luck S......
Well wear

Nope - I didn't buy it but I'd say it went west alright.
TBH I should have bought it and just stuck it in the shed - that FTO is ripe for a VR4 conversion.

It's gone to cork :)
Went and bought it last night. Was waiting for Tom to come, seen and heard it coming down into the carpark and that was me sold.
Have to say thanks to Tom he's a sound fella.
Didn't give it a full going over last night but did today and it's mint. One or two little things but they'll be sorted soon along with the gearbox.

Thanks again Tom

Thanks topcat. I'm enjoying it already. The blueflame exhaust is unreal on it. I think I have to agree with Cullen now about ftos being nicer without their spoilers. I also Referbed the headlights, spots and changed the speakers to GTO 150w, but then started to rain so called it a day.
I'll be sticking my old one up for sale now so if anyone is interested give us a pm. Will try and put up an add before the week is out

Was in Cork after Shane sold it. Then Tom bought it and brought it back to Limerick, then Cullen had it in Limerick, now you have it back in Cork.

I brought in this FTO originally in early 2004.


Looked like this when it came in (apart from front splitter)-

Image

Had a couple of incarnations including having an RSR exhaust and a Hiro rear spoiler-

Image

Before toning it down a little and despoilering and adding the Quad Blueflame -

Image
ImageImage

I removed the aircon, added KYB suspension and Apex springs among quite a bit of other work - the history of this car (apart from its brief time in Cork with the Polish guy I sold it to) is well documented on here. It also currently holds the fastest 1/4 mile time for any FTO in Ireland although at 14.79secs this shouldn't be too difficult to beat - with a set of 16's and R888's low 14s should be easily acheivable.

If I didn't have two kids under the age of 15 months this FTO would be sitting in a garage somewhere waiting for its VR4 engine - ah well! One toy is enough to have and I'm already fighting a loosing battle with the missus as to why I need a 420bhp Zed outside when I can't carry even one of the kids.
