Also, considering how cheap FTOs are these days it seems most owners would be gen Y

ahh my mother gave me the fto, she had a bunch of cars, and i was in a financial situation where only thing i could buy was like a 1k car.. so i didnt really pick it, but free car, worked fine, just needed some fixing (still does) and here i am still learning :P

You can't deny though it seems like the perfect first car. Cheap, good looks, sounds good, not too fast, FWD

I bought my NX for $750.00.
Apart from shabby body work and a busted water pump, it was a sweet little ride.
I actually rather miss it. And that says something given how many cars I've owned.

Last day my brother in law had his vitara we took it to the beach to try and kill it
Filled the radiator full of sea water
Drained the oil and it still didn't die so we drove it into the water as far as it would go

Just getting back on topic ... :lol:

Confirming what Spetz has mentioned, the IV bar connects to the lower control arm. So you either need Evo IV control arms, or GPvR arms. You'll also need to the short droplinks to suit as well.
