Hi im Ryan and im a Newbie

Post by topao »

Hey im sorta new here i think i ve been here for a month or two not really sure, I drive a red fto all stock id post picks but im pretty sure everyone here has seen one a hundred times already. Since getting my fto 5months ago its had 3 accidents so ive only been able to drive it for about two months (I also thinks its cursed, i should have got the grey or white fto)

First accident i smashed into a pole at maccas and smashed the rear left hand light and punctured my rear bar.

Second an old Bit*h tried coming into my lane whilst driving next to her, luckily she was in a van so most of the damamge was big black tyre marks down the side of the car ( I just wish i could have had matching ones for the other side would have looked hot)

Third one was a doozy was going around a corner and the steering locked up so halfway into the corner the car just went straight over the medium strip and into the wall, Didnt do much damage to front bar but i fu)kd my suspension it absoultly snapped somthing and the tyre was up against the tim of the body, had to get teh suspesion replaced for that one.

I just wish i could have spent the $4500 i spent in repairs on a bodykit.

Anyway i live up on the north shore you can see me driving around chatswood most mornings as i prepare myself for work plate number is Ak 24 PE, sublimes already spotted me in the city :)

Yeah well it just doesnt stop yesterday i got a flat tyre and put on my spare only to find that was flat as well (Do all fto's come standard with a spacesaver tyre???) and then one of my other tyres went flat this morning to. Apparently theres a problem with the valves, thats as much as they would tell me, Anyone know anything about tyre valve problems that makes them go flat????

Dude, if I were you I'd get a priest or someone to clense and bless you and your car, cos it sounds like it needs it.

WTTC Ryan.

Maybe there was a bad luck option offered on FTO's from the factory, mine seemed to have it fitted.
Had mine for a week and a half when a crazy chick ran a red light and T-boned my car. Borderline as a writeoff. To make things worse, insurance was organised but not paid for and no cover note (long story) plus she said the light was yellow and I had no witnesses. I had to pay for part of her car too!
Car's fixed now and my pride and joy, but cost me a packet that could've gone towards upgrades :(

Hope yours gets sorted soon mate.
