Dash Coversion

Post by topao »

How hard do you think it would be to do a dash conversion for an FTO??? Moving to the states at the end of the year and i dont think they would have to many left hand side FTO over there

There is no current eligibility for FTOs to be imported into the states, and it's extremely unlikely an importer would even apply to have it added to the eligibility list. There are extreme costs involved in doing so, far more beyond which individuals would be in a position to pay.

I believe there are 3 FTOs in the U S of Anus

They are on FTOOC sometimes, I think they are all RHD cars tthough.

Also their best fuel is like 95 at the pumps, she wouldn't be running too well.

95 is fine for an FTO... but I'm not getting into another fuel debate. There's plenty of fuel threads already!

Agreed, here there are only like 2 stations that sell 98, and none close. I always ran my GPX on 95, got 111 kw atw with it. I now run the TT FTO on 95. No problems.

I remember someone had posted a LHD FTO here before.

But why would you want to do a conversion for a FTO. Cars in the State are dirt cheap, the conversion might cost you a decent car over there.
