FTO AUSTRALIA

On Dora st, around 12pm, with red full VS kit. with the original yellow number plate.

Spotted once again at the same place, this time with a asian guy and chick infront of the car Lol and i think this is the car i saw
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/pri ... F574E2283E

i might be really stupid but he says its a stock engine which pumps 147kw... is that true??/

no way if he means from atw, he probably find the info on it from net say we stock fto has 147kw but i dont think so.

the 147kw would be right but its from the fly wheel not at the road.

You're right, there are sites that quote 147kw at the crank, even an old Ralliart one (that isn't up any more) but Mitsi themselves always say 150 kw

is this FTO worth buying im inspecting within the next week very interested? talking to the owner last couple weeks.

btw im a newbie to the site and a newbie to FTO's

IMO that car isn't worth ~$19k

Sure it is a GPX, but it has 102,000 k's, which I think is too high to justify that price. Scissor doors are great, sure, but I have only heard of one good kit (the one Umm sells on here).

My suggestion is to keep an eye on this site, there are always good priced ones turning up on here from members, and you can be sure they have been well looked after.

Just look at what Mr. Charisma picked up for the same (apparently) price! FTO with 6A13tt engine running a big f**k off "I will eat your small children and chihuaua's" GT 35/40!

There are bargains to be had, I don't think that car is one of them!

^^^^^^^ Agreed, way to steep IMO,

Thank you advice is never endless, i offer him 15,999 see what he pulls out mmm.


i think this car has potenial, i am to soon be a red plater,very interested in FTO's
this site has a whole lot of info ive been tryng to find

cant wait to join the "club" as you would say (:

very excited new member i am

Well, as far as we are concerned, you are already a member. Don't rush into the purchase even at that price. If you absolutely "MUST HAVE IT!!!" then see if you can take another member along with you to check it out

Good luck and a proper WTTC from me

thank you (:
im going to inspect tomorow morning ill post on what happens (:
yeah my final offer to the guy is $16.500 take it or im leaving it.Only reason im offering 16.5K is because its a unique FTO, as much as i could dream of what i can do to the beautiful fto.

If anyone is selling there FTO and which is AUTO in Sydney AUS, contact me on menake101@hotmail.com

very very keen on getting a FTO which is unique to any other.

Honestly mate, if I was in Sydney, I would offer you my FTO in a heartbeat for $16.5k (and I guarantee you can do all the cosmetic BS on that car cheaper than you can do an engine conversion), I honestly think you should hold off. Something better will come up!

Agree with above sentiment.

Its just a stock FTO with a Veilside kit, cheap chromies, scissor doors & dopey bloody cannon exhaust. Guy thinks he can make his mod money back

Check this out clicky, you could pick this up for about $10k I think. 5spd GPX. Less K's too. Nice wheels already (chromies add nothing of value to a car IMO).

Add the Scissor Doors from Umm on here for ~$3k and a VS style kit for ~$650 + fitting and painting (maybe $1k) and you have a lower car IMO better too for less than $15k. Personalised to your own tastes too.

That is grossly simplified on a car on first page of searching. You could do so much more if you got a cheaper one too.

Up to you though mate

LOL I wouldn't recommend that exact car that you have shown FTEvolution (lol...rust spots in roof ).
However I agree with what you and most others are saying regarding the price. Way too steep IMO too.

Way too much ...

To think I was asking for as close to 15k for mine, which has taseful mods, coilovers, carbon front and rear ... WTF ... 19k ...

I also like how he has his number plate blocked out in one photo, but not the others... lol ..

wtf. As if for that price.

Major cons:
1. No sideskirts (+$350 installation and respray)
2. Not a manual ( trust me you'll regret it)
3. Unknown brand of scissor doors, could be weak
4. Wheels are too small & chrome
5. Costs way too much for aesthetics
