Which model fto would best suit me?

will still be relatively easy seeing as they still share many parts with mch latter model lancers and many other mitsi's. You just need to research more in the future.

Great to hear you had a good bargain! btw, where are you located? have you got yourself a reliable mechanic yet? cos this can be very crucial as not many mechanic know about FTO and some of us here had bad experiences which ended up paying $$$$

Hi ill be living in cambelltown sydney for the next few weeks and then im moving to murwillumbah which is still classed as nsw but around 20mins from the goldcoast. I was going to open up a thread asking if anyone could point me in the right direction of a good mechanic in sydney for the service which I am about to do and then of another mechanic closer to the goldcoast. For my everyday cars i have always used Automasters. But I would have no problems switching to another mechanic if they have knowledge of the Fto's.
Thanks Andy

Another recommendation for J&R's

After taking my car to multiple different mechanics, wasting a crapload of money & getting shoddy workmanship I decided to bite the bullet & get my car fixed by J&R's. Joe & Rick's is the only place I will trust to work on my FTO now. (Lol, I know this sounds like a late night infomercial, but I'm not getting paid for this )
