Leaving the FTO scene..

Get the earlier model .. Has more goodies like the electronic suspension...

But, just don't try to wire up anything too it... A mate that had one, had nothing but problems when he tried to put in alarms and such .. Everytime something was added, there was a major electrical problem ...

nah getting the 97 mk2 model i like the shape, lights and wing more than the other 2 models.. Also the earlier ones that are in the country are so overpriced and high kms for the same money i can import a new model one with low kays.

Phoenix imports are the whole deal for me. Have no idea which auction yard in japan but seems like its a good 1 so far.
