Hey WTTC

Although I can't see any badges I would suspect that is a 'car of the year' FTO

ah well i always had a soft soft for Mitshus... brother has had evo 7-10 current 10 mr .. i had 2 vr-4 HJ and Gen 5 VR-4 TT .. sold it to find my stupid obsesion with R34... now have the fto and 34

plus vectra C 07 for the mrs n baby

Goto say the FTO is a lot better built then the Galents .. in mechanical form.. Interior is similar instead of clips more screws are used which is great

unlike nissans all clips all over break one .. then let the rattle begin !

Actually no i didnt .. i dumped the badges and the factory stripes that went all along the car ... cleaner look ..i had no idea these were limited edition ones.. i actually looked for a silver one everywhere couldnt find one to my liking... so settled for this.. id swap for a silver one in a heart beat lol

funny enough i used some old rags bag of rags are like 20 bucks from supercheap.. as all the crap comes out needed to wipe it ..

final polish yeah id recomand microfibre towels

found something use normal car polish to wax the glass and buff off to remove crap and scratches

et me know of u need a hand i can come around and help on weekends ..
