Looks like a very nice FTO indeed - some really nice bits of kit on there - I wonder why he isn't giving the dyno bhp figures though? Its an awful lot of work to do to gain .5sec on the 1/4 mile.

14.2 doesnt seem great on the 1/4 mile, I'm sure ikeane did better than that in Limerick. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fastest FTO in Limerick was Muad with a 14.8. Ivan did a 14.9 - anything in the late 14's is excellent in an NA Mivec Manual.
I did a 14.1 in the Zed and that felt plenty fast - its just I'd expect a sub 1200kg car like the FTO with the addition of a turbo to be putting out 240-260BHP + and 1/4 mile times well into the 13's.

Don't get me wrong though - That FTO for sale is as nice an example as I've seen. If I was in the market for an FTO right now - I'd take his arm off to have that FTO for the 5.5K GBP I expect he'll end up selling it for - Its a very original and tastefully modified FTO.

Sub1200 kg i thought the kerb weight of a gpx was 1250 kg's and the GPvR was under 1200kg due to manual aircon. Thou if your right and you probably are that might explain a few little things to me suddenly shedding 50 kg's from my origional thoughts, puts what happend yesterday morning in perspective

Yes have to agree looks very clean and well looked after i too if i were in the market would buy but sadly no

Oh man - that is SERIOUSLY tasy!

*** edit - actually after having a closer look - it's not THAT tasty... what's with the black border?.. I know I'm in no position to pass judgement.. bit still.. ***

Mind you if I was in the market - I'd jump at the chance of this one..

[mcgon1979]

yeah, GPvR is 1190kg cause of the air con and seats

[Myfeckin FTO]

For some reason I thought the GPX Manual weights circa 1190kgs and the GPvR manual weights 1170kgs. Obviously a Tip model would be heavier and it would also depend on the amount of options added to the car.

When I had my GPX weighed at its NCT it came in at well under 1200kgs with the rear seats, spare wheel and tools all in and 1/3 tank of petrol.

I reckon my FTO GPX was a lot closer to 1100kgs when it was stripped for the 1/4 mile.
