WTTC ...

Just be patient and you will find your dream FTO ... There seem to be a few up for sale at the moment, but yeah, most are tip .... Worse case, import your own ... It could work out cheaper for you also ...

yeah there are a couple that seem about what i want (gpx manual), don't really have the time for importing as i need to sell the car i have now to finance the fto, i have a car for inbetween but it's on loan from a friend so i'd rather not be borrowing it for too long

hopefully the ones i look at have been looked after as a car like this should, if only i had enough for ftosams beasty looking thing *sigh*

Good chance that i'll be taking it off the market now that we've got some things sorted out and have uncovered its power potential...

300hp at 12psi with injectors at 95% Duty....

New injectors will see 18psi...

new turbo will see 24psi and hopefully a good 450-500hp....

so i dont think im going to sell it now, as performance wise, its shaping up better than jeffs..

yeah unfortunately had some stuff come up which cost quite a bit so the fto is being put on hold will probably be waiting till next uni holidays to buy

will be interesting to see how much they are then since the prices always seem to be dropping looking at carsales
