The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Hi Everyone!!

Just brought an FTO GR 96' tip and love it!

Given it a nice 3 stage meguires polish and its gleeming!!

I had to trade in my imported Pulsar GTI (loved that car) because the gearbox failed for the 2nd time within 14months, 5th gear kept popping out and the part was expensive!!

So will see you all around on the forum

edit - Just ordered these for it too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123
should look nice gonna collect them on saturday!

Cheers all will remember the pies lol

Aint even had a chance to put the wheels on yet :oops:

but am just ordering some brake discs / pads to put on at the same time as the wheels.

Was looking at some EBC's as they are zinc plated but they only do the fronts

Any other suggestions for zinc plated discs? I brought 3G discs for my Pulsar and they rusted up around the edges and bell in about a day .... wasnt impressed!

Do you reckon it will look wierd having ebc's on front and standards on rear??

Also bit of a knocking noise coming from the suspension or something ... gotta get that checked at the same time

Here ya go mate: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... 0s535p3906

Suspension bushes probably need to be changed, I know mine do!

Welcome btw, best of luck with the car, I can't stop looking out the window at mine. Gotta give mine a clean tomorrow, hope the weather is good...

by **MR. FTO GR** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:01 am
