Love the plates.....

I take it the car is road registered now as well...

[Jacqueline]

no not road registered, fake plates the ones you buy from ebay, I've stripped the back seats, most of the interior to make her lighter, full race harness and race seat, race semi slicks and extinguishers Ive dedicated her to a tack car only. She is stripped enough to make her perform better but she still looks pretty inside still has the carpet, I'm now looking for a roll cage, had a message from Conner who has one for sale but couldn't remember my password to get back in, sent him a message last night so hope he gets back to me.
If you saw the interior you would honestly say WOW looks like a racecar but still looks hot, I get so many good comments when I'm out there, you wouldn't be disappointed, I'm putting up the things I took out for sale soon as I have no use for them.

plans for the near future - manual conversion (from an EVO) but keeping her N/A I'm more competitive this way otherwise I'm up with the Evo 9-10, V8's and heavy modified class, and from experience the more you fiddle the more problems you get, I can honestly say I come from a track day in one piece not like other cars with blown motors and turbos ect. If anyone ever gives you sh*t its because they have never seen one on the track, I was laughed at the first time out, the number plates didn't help and being a girl well lets not go there, BUT when I started rounding the boys , the FTO might not have the power in the straight like the big Monaros and V8's but she makes up for it in her cornering, the tyres and brakes I have are awesome, while these guys brake at the 100 meter mark I don't brake till the 50 meter mark. NOW when I go out especially to Wakefield Park or Maurlan Raceway I have guys wanting to go out in the car with me on passenger laps or the guys throw me their keys to their sports car and say "Hey Jack take my car out I want to see what the car can do, or come out with me and help me with my lines ect".

the FTO is a legend of a car, I love it, its easy to handle and responds to you. look out for me in 2015 at major events

Destinationtoby probably has one of THE best FTO's on the forum I never get tired of looking at his pics! Good work mate!

Looks great Jacqueline!

Looks great Jacqueline!

+1.

Have you got a build thread on here Jacqeline? Are you running standard brakes?

[Jacqueline]

A list of modifications for you.
Wheels and tyres.
1. Toyo 888 225 x 50 x 17 Rspec semi slicks, medium compound. 26 psi all round ( warm day temp )
2. Enki 17x8 rims.
Brakes.
1. Evolution 3 rotors front and rear. (standard for Version R ) I have DBA 5000 slotted series on it now, with the same diameter and thickness as the evo 3s it came with.
2. ECB '' yellow stuff'' pads on the front ( track use only ) ECB '' green stuff'' rears. The best road / track pads we have used was Bendex, but unfortunately they dont do them anymore for our particular brakes, this was a good pad for street track use but, started to fall apart after 2 track days. The yellow stuff pads.....dont work on the street..they need 250 deg+ we have found to work correctly.
3. Braided brake lines all round, with Motul Dot 5 brake fluid, havent had it boil ever.
Suspension.
1. Tein coil overs all round, have no idea of spring rates or shock type, what ever they are it works fantastic( car came from Malaysia with them fitted )
2. Cusco front rear strut braces,front underside cradle brace, rear underside cradle brace, interior floor brace.
3. All bushes have been replaces with Noltec / whiteline .
4. Wheel alignment is something unique, as its probably not suitable for street driving as the Tyre/ braking combination on the track is so different, the rear has quite a bit of camber but the front almost sits vertical, toe is something I would have to look at on the sheets if you need it.
Tuning.
1. Motor is stock mostly, air cleaner is a pod type, and it has a 75mm exhaust ( still has the cat, but not for long ).
2. Auto has a shift chip, and works extremely well, adapts to driving conditions very well.
3. Car is very peaky as you would know with the MIVEC, i have a controller for it but seems quite useless, its tuned for 100 RON, and is over fueled on the top end, ( for safety ) it keeps the peak power curve flat until the red line. ( Max power is 93.5 rwk i have the dyno sheet if you would like to see it )

It is no power house, what it lacks in this it makes up on the cornering speeds and braking, I found this is the key to all the fun it gives you. The car is ultra reliable with this combination, it has not let us down once in 3 years of track work.
