FTO AUSTRALIA

Hehe, so was holding off ruining the surprise really and trying not to give anything away incase it fell through, only Jeffaz on here new I what was in that car.

So some story of it. Saw this car whilst looking for a potential car to take the CH's engine, this looked ok though a bit pricey, so I emailed him, got this in reply:

Hi, mods are v6 mivec, thanks

!?!?!??! MIVEC?!?! So ofc I RACED over there and sure enough, there is a 6a12 mivec sitting in this coupe.
So then I decided and paid for it last night and took it home from work this morning... Haven't had a chance to take proper photos yet but here are some goodies.

The outsite, nice and straight, though will be getting a new front bumper possibly depending on my motivation to fix it.



Interior... Still trying to figure out if MR or GLXi... leaning towards GLXi.


Battery relocation... pretty simple and nice, and is a dry cell:


Cup Holders!!!!


and found this in the glove box:


Two of my lancers together:


Brakes:
Fronts

Rears


And... engine:






Trev broke it some more:


wtf is this:



Apparent list of mods:
6A12 DOHC MIVEC
2.5-3" system w/ headers
coilovers
Full black interior?
Boot relocation for battery
Front and rear FTO brake upgrades w/ slotted twin pots at front
Aftermarket ECU OR Flashed FTO ecu (need to find out...)
EL Dials
And thats it until i start pulling stuff apart

So list of things to do to remove yellow:

• Engineer Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Suspension
  Buy inner wheel arc guards
  Buy new tail lights and headlights (stockies) to allow rego
  Buy a lot of zip ties
  Make new front mesh grill
  Raise the coilovers
  RETUNE (holy sh*t it's running rich, won't idle either thanks to it... to much full being pumped in at low rpm's and drowning out the engine)
  New muffler to quieten it down, and possibly change down to 2.5" or even 2.25" to give it some back pressure cause atm it sounds way to echo-ie for my liking...
  New cat since the old one went out the muffler this morning
  Get obrian out to fix chips in windshield

So yeah, it's not going to be on the road any time soon, this is my new project, CH is staying and getting her interior finished as well as smaller things like new sub and maybe exhaust system, but ATM my main goal is to fix the CE.
