Hey Guys,

Just a quick intro on my self my name is scotty and i am a first time fto owner. Currently live in launceston, Tasmania. I've been into cars for the past 8 years and have owned a lancer which i modified as much as possible and then sold it to purchase a much smoother looking car the FTO.

I bought a 1995 Black FTO GPX off a user on these forum. Immaculate little car which has a lot of potentional. At the moment it sits on 18" Avanti Rimz and has a HKS dragger exhuast system. Sounds great. Love the look of these cars.

Well hope to talk to you a lot more through out the time of modifiying the car and hope to get a little help through out the process. :wink:

Thanks,

scotty

Welcome Scotty :D
(great to see more FTO's cropping up in Tas).

Any questions - pop em up and someone on here is bound to know the answer - or at least where to find the answer.

Great choice in both cars - I had a Lancer pre-FTO as well - great cars.

Cheers
Tanya

Hey,

I think the rear wing is by Topmix its an adjustable one. Don't think its ever been adjusted though. Looks good though. This is the website that i found the info on.

Just wondering, the throwout bearing in the gearbox is going cause its making a little noise, how long will it last until it needs repairing. Any help would be great.

thanks,

scotty
