FTO AUSTRALIA

Nice colour choice it looks good what colour you doing the fto indent

Either black or just leaving it in the blue and just indenting it. Emblem has been dipped black as well, but needed the car to be back on the road for a bit so temporary pause and driving without a wing for the time being Will have her finished by the end of the month and put in a car show in Sydney

Cool I have a lot to do to mine till it reaches your car's standard, but I'm slowly learning as I was never really a car person

Thanks mate, I'm not a huge car person either, I just listen to these guys who have a way better understanding of these cars than myself. The Vinyl I'm getting done by Colourway Car Wraps in Sydney (formerly Automars).

Today I do finally got around to dipping my window trims after being called up for graveyard shift, she looks a lot cleaning now

Gave my headlights another polish; trying to get rid of the peeling laminate, but to no avail... it's just less noticeable now..the sandpaper isn't course enough I believe.

Had some fun watching things get chopped and welded at #TimKnottMotorsport fitting new gear selector cable bracket. For reference thepart number is MR953260.

Swapped my old crappy set of tyres (pair of Zetums, pair of Federal595SS) 205/40R17s for Federal 595SS all round, 205/50R17s.

I have excel G shocks which for some reason seem to have a shorter distance between the bottom spring seat and the bottom shock mount compared to standard shocks, or a different shaped spring seat.. The new tyres are very close to touching the spring seat but luckily they don't as I would've been stuck at work

Changed carpet, tyres, repainted front bar, replaced guard liners, Changed transmission oil, added new sideskirt caps, fixed front indicators, added missing rheo, added foglights, checked fluids, swapped PS and Alternator tensioner Pulleys.

Why not a 215/45? I've been wondering about this though, is there an actual replacement for the FTO front struts or just near things that fit?

Cause I had them lying around for ages.. they were free

That makes sense.

Spent the weekend removing the 5sp tip gearbox and changing over the torque converter, and......

It made no bloody difference (arggggggggggg). Still slipping in reverse, so its got to be something in the gearbox. Now I have to do it again

Bloody bugger!!!

Cleaned up the bay on the White fto & pulled some bits off her for mine.

Engine looks nice, I started painting my interior panels

Did a oil and filter change, engine sounds better now and no more leaks, also changed the dash cluster from globes to purple LEDS

Removed the 5sp tip box (AGAIN )

Again??

Yep.Was sure the torque converter was the issue.No error codes, and was still working but slipping, but I was wrong. Changed Torque converter and put box back in and problem still occurred. Got another box coming next Wednesday,so had to take it all apart again.
