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![Shocked 8O](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

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 ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
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![laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

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![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Re: 1996 GR - Mivec swapped + heaps of extras
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.. ![laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
