    It's a tough job, but... :P

    Most things I say are actually tongue-in-cheek... except if I'm saying it to Ollieeeezzz.

    But really, you do get sick of the same 4 questions again and again...
    - 'what's the 0-100km/h / quarter mile time for a FTO?'
    - 'found this electric turbro on Ebay, what you guys reckon?'
    - 'how do I make my FTO AWD?'
    - 'what performance mods should I do?'

    Anyways sorry, no (not much) offence meant to anyone :roll:

    We were all noobs at once stage or other. There's a link to fto information on the top left of this page and also a link to complete fto. Read up the basics of it to give yourself an understanding of your new car. You may just save yourself from nicholas's abuse ehehhehe :lol:

    How friggin hard is a bogandore to understand?
    it has a sh*tty engine, sh*tty chassis, and sh*tty reputation for being a V6 burnout machine for the 19 year old hoons to drive.

    Now, a V6 mivec FTO..THAT's where the confusion sets in!
    ..well..not really.
    If it sounds like it has a V6 engine and says 'GPX' on it, it's a GPX.
    If it has factory 1337 seats, a big wing and says 'GPR' it's a GPR

    Anything else is void, because you should be able to tell the difference between a V6 and a 4 cylinder.

    The MIVEC V6 has the oil cap on the left, the non-MIVEC V6 has the oil cap on the right.

    WTF

    You realise summer is coming soon yes?
    You also realise we live in one of the hottest nations on the planet?

    Seriously, i don't think that's a good idea.
