Hasnt got a nvg or whatever, i guess i just did the right mods, at that point it was a tip box, i dont think it being a manual now helps. But being lighter than everyone elses coupled with some light mods and a tip box (?) could have just helped that highway average, also, i only filled up once on that trip, i think that fill up may have been after sydney and the one to start it off was in or a little past melbourne. Anyone confirm a tip gpvr's range (tip gpvr s have very slight differences to gpx, gpx tip wont work with gpvr and vica versa

You might wanna change a few of your innaccurate days on the link dude. E.g. fuel tank capacity is 60L, there is more than 600 worldwide, every other fto doesn't rev to 10k as you make it sound, etc etc, and probably tone it down to cause you sound like you rape the car. Personally I wouldntook at it based on that description, but hey that's me im just teying to give you advice, take it anyway you wany.

I know what you mean, but mine actually goes to 10,000rpm, i did not cut or disable the rev limiter, i just "retarded" it so the limiter kicks in at exactly 10k rpm, and i say 50l because that is what i used (no one travels while the low fuel light is on, which i belive is on about 8liters from empty. And there is a few adds from
The uk that state there are 600 or 650 gpvrs world wide, im basing that off a few people, they could be wrong, does anyone here know how many there are? I would love to get an actual number.

Anyway, i see where ya coming from, my statements could be clarified a little better, il go through it tonight

I believe Dwayne has all the numbers, though even he states they may not be hard fact as it was a data extraction from CAPS.

So you're saying your car does go to 10K?
And makes power there?
And has not blown up yet?

The curve for a mivec 6a12 slowly peaks to 7k, then once it does it dies faster than old yella, i shift at 7.5 as its not worth running out the gear and is more efficient to change at 7.5-6 (and healthier for the engine too i guess)
Surprised myself nothing has gone at 10k, sounds like its at its limit at 8.25 lol

how much did you sell it in the end?

millsy · Post by **millsy** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:15 pm

$15,500 actually, which is $500 more than advertised, there was a lot of interest. And turned out to be a bit of a bidding war ($14,500 and drop drop it off in sydney, then another offered the same price and to pick it up, then the other guy rebuted and said $15,000 and he will pick it up, then the other said $15,500 aand pick up) ... So its a shitload for a car with no body mods (bodykits or cf parts) no paint job (kept it stock colour, never resprayed or painted a custom colour) and no major mods (just the intake and exhaust)...

It makes me feel like a dog when all u guys have custom coloured turbo bodykited ftos and hoping to get $13,000 and cant find a buyer. I had to tell one of the guys who lost the "bidding" on mine that there are plenty of way better ftos than mine with like $20000 worth in mods and a shitload faster than mine, and i only spend like $2000 tops on mine (inc subs, amp, manual cOnversion, exhaust and everything else u see,".

So sorry to all those tht are calling me a bastard atm, coz i know i would be. Ha
