So at the moment I have;

HKS Earthing kit.
ARC Air Box.
ARC Intake Pipe.
Blue Anodised Slam Panel.
EL Light Up Panel.
GPvR Sway Bar.
CAI Piping (can't see from pics)

I plan on the following;

Samco Radiator Hoses.
Blue Vacuum Hosing all round.
Polished Plenum.
4" blue Samco joiner for the green one on the ARC stuff. (if they make one)
General Polishing.
Cover for the fuse box.
Some sort of heat shield for under the ARC box.
Blue bolts dress up kit from RB Performance.

:D

me next! me next!!

Only have a HKS air intake at the moment. Your an expert would it be worth modifying the engine of an FTO thats done 200,000kms? I need new radiator hoses an all but whats your opinion on that and how much power are u planning for your car? Would love to know how it goes on a dyno!!

FTO is about 100kw at the wheels when stock. Without going Turbo or changing engine to something else, you can definitely get to 130kw . Mine is running at 133kw atw presently. Aza's is around the same. You are better off starting out with things like intake, exhaust, ECU as they will give you better gains and cost less. If eventually you decide you want to do internal mods then id be doing rings etc at the same time.

Hope this helps

BTW Stu, coming along nicely

There are red, blue, green, yellow colors in your bay.
You either complete it with 7 rainbow colors, or pick a color scheme to start with.

It wasn't Top Gun dstocks.

This one came from the FTOOC Shop. It was on clearance too so I picked it up for £25.

Seems they still have some more, different colours too.

I'd say it's going to end up blue ;)

I have an exhaust atm and the HKS air intake so its not to bad except it needs a service but someone in the UK has taken apart an FTO and is selling all the parts really cheap so im going to buy them.. Actually speaking of parts does anyone know how to get that fading off the head lights!

The only reason I have that ARC intake pipe is because xj265 pointed one out to me on japan yahoo.

Eternally grateful :thumleft:
