Thanks bestie!
I actually really do not want to sell it, I'm not looking forward to some other kid driving my car away from me.. but it has to go

Have the Daihatsu as a daily and need to make room for the RX7 and replenish bank account.dstocks wrote:Why?
As much as I loved building the FTO and how much I enjoy driving it, they're just too underpowered for me now.. I have my full license now and was after something faster and not front wheel drive. Just getting kinda bored with it.

Maybe I should sell my FTO too, it only sits in the shed now.
Gets driven once a month just to keep it fresh.
Hmmmm....Sell FTO and buy a shed to put FTO in....Oh wait

Re: 1996 GR - Mivec swapped + heaps of extras
Anymore info on car please ? Sorry not reading through a 34page thread
Any problems that need to be addressed?
Has it been tuned or run in properly etc and tested afterwards ?
Anything that needs attention in the near future ?
Cheers.

Body = Average
Roof = Has slight rust
That is all I can remember him saying... Have seen the car many a times, and seems to look quite good considering.
I just had to add it ......

I talk a lot of sh*t, usually have to keep a roll of toilet paper handy in the car for my mouth

Anyway.. needs front and rear sway bar bushes (good excuse to upgrade). Has standard roof rust. Paint on D/S/R B pillar and boot are faded (come up OK after a detail though)
No tune, it's on standard mivec ECU. Was run in properly. Tested for...?
Not really. Needs tyres but I have a set of 4 Federal 595SS to go on anyway.

Lol Supplanter... i guess it's true. You never forget your first love 
Thanks rock_it and Daniel2019.. lemme have a good think about it and i'll make contact soon if i decide this is the way.
Essentially, if it gets bought...it's going to get stripped hard and then raced lol... prolly not the fate you were looking for it haha

Re: 1996 GR - Mivec swapped + heaps of extras
Actually I hope you do. It's got over 5 grand worth of brand new engine with ported heads. Already has slotted and dimpled rotors with EBC reds all around and a freshly built gearbox. That was originally my plan for it but just never got around to actually getting it to the track... its pretty much ready to go.
I would love nothing more than to see it turned into a dedicated track car

I'd rather it get destroyed on the track than have some P plater wrap it around a pole or it get T-boned by some soccer mum or something..
