If the tacho isnt working is probably the Ignition Failure Sensor. Have a couple of these (new and 2nd hand).

    Welcome to the club.
    Rev cut is meant to be at around 8,200rpm.
    Don't rev it past that.

      Interior looks nice and clean. Outside has a few un-straightened panels etc etc but hey, can't complain!.
      Looks nice man.
      HOWEVER!!!!

      PLEASE REMOVE THOSE RIMS! :lol:

      Looks pretty clean man. As mentioned above though, the front bar is far from a good fit, so I'd say its been pranged before.

      And +1 on the destruction of those rims... Set fire to them & hurl them at the nearest Lebanese guy.

      That aside, it looks good :)

      The car has never been in a accident it has been checked from my panel beater, im the second owner since its been imported from Japan in 2007. Im looking to swap the rims ASAP and straighten the body if possible. Thats the only number plate that has been registered in Australia.

      Looks really neat, looks to be unmolested from the pics. From the misalignment of thebar I would say that it may have been in a minor accident, maybe a bumper to bumper ding which has misaligned the mounts. Probably nothing major, should be able to be sorted out by a panel beater.

      +1 to all the rim hating though, they look terrible :puker:

      Never seen an FTO with such a clean interior. Fix up the bumper and replace the rims and it will be an awesome ride.

      If you put some nice lightweight rims on in their place, you'll probably experience a huge jump in power. Those chromies weigh a ton & as such the motor stuggles to get them spinning ;)
