It's a tough job, but... :P

Most things I say are actually tongue-in-cheek... except if I'm saying it to Ollieeeezzz.

But really, you do get sick of the same 4 questions again and again...
- 'what's the 0-100km/h / quarter mile time for a FTO?'
- 'found this electric turbro on Ebay, what you guys reckon?'
- 'how do I make my FTO AWD?'
- 'what performance mods should I do?'

Anyways sorry, no (not much) offence meant to anyone :roll:

We were all noobs at once stage or other. There's a link to fto information on the top left of this page and also a link to complete fto. Read up the basics of it to give yourself an understanding of your new car. You may just save yourself from nicholas's abuse ehehhehe :lol:

How friggin hard is a bogandore to understand?
it has a sh*tty engine, sh*tty chassis, and sh*tty reputation for being a V6 burnout machine for the 19 year old hoons to drive.

Now, a V6 mivec FTO..THAT's where the confusion sets in!
..well..not really.
If it sounds like it has a V6 engine and says 'GPX' on it, it's a GPX.
If it has factory 1337 seats, a big wing and says 'GPR' it's a GPR

Anything else is void, because you should be able to tell the difference between a V6 and a 4 cylinder.

The MIVEC V6 has the oil cap on the left, the non-MIVEC V6 has the oil cap on the right.

Seriously, i don't think that's a good idea.
