Lancer in HK are base on the 1.6L Mivec, & from memory its only like $17k (+tax) for a brand new one with leather & sunroof.

yeah if you can get the address from your cousin would b great

while you're there Kev, reckon you could grab your hands on an FTO Kansai wing (copy) for me? :D

Yeah sure, I'm planning 2 get a full set of bodykit anyway, so it won't hurt to get another piece. (well except for my wallet).

which bodykit are you looking at getting anyway?

September school holiday (yeah i know is a fair way, but time flys)

searched everywhere for any fto related materials...mainly bodykits...but couldnt find any....i dont even think they have normal lancers there....majority of the cars in hong kong are mercedes or above....damn rich people, they just leave there lambo,ferraris on the side of the road.... was there 2months ago....which island or place is the best for fto parts in hongky land FTO617 ??? but i did see 1 stock fto there ...it was parked behind a lambo lol

dont look for it in kowloon
go to the country side
plenty there

mmmyum U can always give HK FTO club a ring/email. i'm sure they know where to get them.

Just had my mate who imports things from HKS confirm that HKS does not make any internal performance parts for Mitsubishi except the GTO and EVOs, so I thinks you got gipt.

hi everyone!!!

i just wanna know how long does a turbo conversion take on a FTO???
because i dont think i can wait a very long time to drive my car.....
and where can i get one done....?

mikey is the guy to talk to about this, he's in the middle of gettin it done!!

Seeing as your a newbie, first of all welcome.

A turbo conversion is a very difficult thing for an fto... so it may take months... because all the pipes have to be made, and stuck into our tiny engine bays...

So atm, yes, Mikey is the man to talk to, his forum name is GPXXX...

I think there should be a few threads on this, so for more info do a search!

put it this way, if you cannot wait a long time, you cannot turbo it... plain and simple.

turboing an FTO is not as simple as changing tyres - lot of hours are spent into designing the exhaust manifold, dump pipe, turbo feed pipe, intercooler pipe etc... and i haven't even gone into waiting for parts delivery and tuning yet!

to give you an idea, my car was sitting in the workshop for 7 weeks, and it's still not turbo'd yet... :evil:

lucky for me, i have patience...

thanks fot that...

any paticular places you guys recommend?
i guess i can wait, because its all worth it...

Don't forget Scracy, Dannyboyau as well, they both did a turbo conversion, well Scracy rebuilded his, & Danny transplaned a 6A13TT

scracy literally replaced his motor and turbo only, but all the orig turbo piping & parts remained with a few more extra goodies added to it...

in Danny's case, well from memory it took him a couple of months i think coz he built it himself with help from his friend's workshop/tools...
