Compared to that other POSJDM autosalon car this thing looks freaking sick bro. Love the orange and the bonnet.

Rear and front end take a bit of getting used to.

The flared gaurds and rear really excentuate the FTO styling rather then gaying it up. Very cool.

You've got to wonder about the intergrity of an engine though. The car looked to be in really sh*t condition alround before some asian guy dumped a tonne of money into it's looks.

Infact i'd go so far as to say i'd hit that. But not the interior. The interior looks like sh*t. And I probably wouldn't take it from behind either, looks much better from the front. But still. I'd hit that.

Dont get it Scarecrow - how can you knock it.. just the amount of time and effort that went into it... God credit where its due! I know its not everyones cup of tea but it looks the part.. It was built for Autosalon and therefore is supposed to be over the top, comes with the territory...

Kazzy I like this one!

I donno if you're up with the contemporary African American dialouge but the phrase "i'd hit it" is positive

It means that I wish to have sexual intercourse with the car, not that i'd physically ram the car with another car or baseball bat.

This autosalon car is definetly to my liking, the bonnet, the flares, the paint, the wing, and as a total package. I don't much fancy the sideskirts or rear bar but it all together i think it really looks great!

The only part I strongly object to is the interior, which is ugly as sin.

This autosalon car is over the top, but in a good way. And what I like about it is that it's been turned into a showcar but the original lines and style of the FTO have been maintained and highlighted.

The other autosalon car was an eyesore. It was one of those things in life that's sooo freaking hideous you can't help but pay attention to it (i'm speaking about the white black gold red green orange FTO incase you missed it

).

edit: it's 12:37am, on a monday night, and i just realised that i was sitting naked at the computer. haha, go me! i have no idea how long i've been without pants for, i can't remember taking them off.

Gah, I can appreciate the massive effort involved in putting together that car.

But holy mother of god the Kaze kit is disgusting!

The only thing I can find enjoyable about that car is the flaring of the rear arches. The interior is hideous, waaaay too much orange.

I love that front bar.
The overhang in the middle looks plain mean

Where do I get me one....

You will have to order an original from Japan

(for a ridiculous amount of money of course).

Unless Jay has a copy up his sleeve

Dude,you have messed up taste,it looks like a retarded anteater!! How you can slag that other dudes car (that was done on a budget) and say you like this (unlimited funds) in the same breath is beyond me

Well,each to there own.....but KAZE (imo) = styling for stylings sake

I love the race/supercar look on the FTO, this orange one oozes speed appeal.

What can I say though, i likes what i likes

I have my reasons for disliking the other autosalon car, and I have my reasons for wanting to lay this one down by the fire and make sweet sweet love with it.

Actually I think this is quite clever.
NIVEC is a made up acronym for 'Non InnovativeValve timing and lift Electronic Control system' that some clever people within the FTOOC decided to call their GR and GX's.
