Probably not the best time or times but i need her gone.
Money will have to take another route unfortunately
The Fto was the main reason for hundreds of hours spent online and on this forum and i can say it changed my perception of japanese cars .
I bought the car standard in feb 07 and in the 2 years of ownership i tried to cover every corner starting with interior,exterior and engine.
The facts :
Nct: 11/09
Exterior :
Resprayed in GTO R71 Carcas red
Standard FTO Gr spoiler
Debaged front & debaged rear stickers
Upgraded front FOG lights!
Engine/Trans/Clutch/Exhaust :
*2L v6 with the tappets(camskill) changed about 7k kms ago
*transmission is 5 speed manual box
*exhaust was changed completly with a standard second hand exhaust in perfect condition around 5 k kms ago
*new battery in it since December
Service :
Aux belts changed Power Steering/Air Con
timing belt has been replaced ~25K kms ago
water pump & coolant change. 10k ago
tappets done
slick 50 engine treatment added at the last oil change (5k kms ago)
Oil changed on a regular basis (oil used Castrol Magnatec 10w40)
Replaced the standard spark plugs with colder "Denso Iridiums" k20 when Tbelt was done
Upgraded to PIAA 400/500 Hz Sport Horn
starter motor was changed 2 k kms ago
Suspension/brakes/wheels/tyres
standard suspension
Upgraded to GPX calipers + new pads all around
Front bushes changed 5k kms ago.
Standard 16' wheels with good tyres
Interior
standard seats red/blue trim
standard FTO mats
MOMO pedals
Tinted windows all around done professionaly
Security:
Alarm + immobilizer
Standard Comfort:
Electric Windows,
Electric-Folding Mirrors,
Height adjustable drivers seat,
Climate-Control Aircon ( aircon works perfect )
Remote Locking .
Aerial is located in the quarter panel
Things that need attention are
- paint needs retouching ,1 more layer for the best result ( bodywork in great condition done in feb 08)
- clutch is sometimes slippery and a bit noisy in gears , will need replacement in the near future
- boot doesn't open with the key probably lock/boot lid was changed
- cracked centre console (of course )
Engine is healthy as proven at the fto meets over the last year when the car got best 0-60 out of 4 fto's in limerick and a very good time on the quarter mile keeping up with the bigger brother the GPX.
It has covered only a few hundred kms since last NCT in December , the only thing that failed on was a bit high emissions but that was solved with a bit of redex and passed 5 days later with no problem.
All major services and mentainance were done by Paul Nolan recognised as one of the best fto mechanics around.
The only problem i had in these 2 years was the starter motor failing but apart from that was our daily driver with no probs.
Car comes with a brand new clutch kit from camskill for the right buyer.
price : 1599 euro
