There use to be a website where you can just type in your chassis number and it will give you all the info above. But i think its gone now, along 3-4 other good one.

And there will be another soon. Going to build a calculator for this soon and also for FTO registration. Would like to start to collect stats on numbers of different models/options to start to see what sort of patterns arise.

If you use the chat above, you sure find out.

Come to think of it, how many member here got the CAP program, I know Ben and I got one, but who else?

In 5yrs that i've got it, I haven't even use mine once

You got the full 4Gig version or just the FTO cut down version Kid?

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:29 pm

There is a cut down version?

Post by **Bennoz** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:47 pm

Yeah, version 2.61 (which is available on request from FTO Ireland) is a cut down version - approx 400Mb, it primarily has FTO information only. The full version has all Mitsubishi makes & models available - its about 4 gig thou..

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:51 pm

oh ok, i got the 4Gb one. But didn't know the Ireland site one is a cut down version.

Now you've done it

If you've got the big version, you need to be sending Dwayne & myself a copy!

kid_dynamite · Post by **kid_dynamite** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 1:08 pm

Yeah I have the cut down one. Things I could tell:
- missing sections (not all of the part diagrams available)
- part diagrams are rough and drawn rather than vector based

The latest Nissan guides were available from Yahoo so I was looking for a Mitsi one on there but haven't had any luck.

So Kev - now you've gone and created a waiting list!
