Hi everyone, I am a new FTO owner from Trinidad in the Caribbean. There are only 19 of these here.

I purchased a second hand GPX facelift model FTO that has been parked up for about half its lifetime. Its basically still new, body is excellent, interior is great except for the console surround and engine works flawless.

I come from a background of turboing Lancers and I noticed a couple similarities between the 2 cars as well as the eclipse, which I am familiar with.

Anyway hope to learn some stuff from you guys.

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

I'm planning on making this FTO a beast. Right now im thinking of the suspension and brakes. Then I'll move onto the engine.. 4g93T or 4g63T.

Yes the lights are tinted.

And the colour is bright.. makes it a bit harder to escape if stolen :) :)
