Yes, mine has the same too, but mounted 45 degrees the other way to the one in your picture.

Cool! The color scheme looks almost alike. :lol:
Though the custom pipings setup differently. The snail is located so upfront!

xj265, seeing as though you are the king of finding unique fto's, have you been able to find any other gold AWD fto from cypress. Ftosam posted a couple pics up years ago but i have never been able to find anymore.

Actually I did try to find some info on it but I could find no existance what so ever of it on the internet however in one of the pics, it was featured in a magazine and it stated where the work was done.

So I managed to find one place on google called 'Nick's Garage' and sent them an email, asking wether they had made a 4WD FTO and they answered back saying yes which was promising but when I went back to reply the email would'nt send, so not to sure whats going on there.

EDIT: just sent them another email and it seems to have worked, so hopefully should get a reply soon

heres the pic from the magazine article:

I got the pics that sam posted up ages ago for anyone who hasn't seen it before:

Yeah thats the one. Nice work mate, let me know what you find out. Sam also had a pic of underside of the car as well. It would be great to know more.

ok so the page you put up in this forum is just explaining the FTO and the history etc.

Then they go onto to explain about the EVO 5. So its a evo 5 engine.

the second page is a bit hard to read but thats where they go into detail about the conversion.

do you have a larger image of it? something i can zoom into with a higher resolution????

also if you have difficulties talking to them i can write you up a email in greek to forward to them.
