Hey Guys
Thought i'd start up my own thread to show progress on my FTO,
It's got a couple of things done to it but nothing crazy.
Tein Coilovers
Leather interior
Exhaust
Extractors
Upgraded intake
17's (soon to be rota Grid R's)
Slotted brakes

Yeah the covers a good, not over the top.
The drivers seat needs some attention but the passenger and rear are perfect

It is easy to pull out... Just follow the wire to the passenger foot well. There is an adapter plug which runs from the Mivec Controller to the ECU. Just pull the adapter plug, and replug in the clips from the ECU direct back in ...
Should be no wiring or anything ... You may even be able to sell the MIVEC controller here...
Car looks pretty fresh too by the way ...

I've been pretty slack and only just bought the tyres,
booked in for tomorrow to have them fitted. I'll try and get some pics over
the weekend and put them up.

It would have reset the MIVEC kick in point to 4,000 rpm as well... So you will probably find at 4k you hear a beep, power drops for a sec, then it kicks in...

I'm pretty happy with the choice and they sit nicely in the guards

yeah it definitely does especially in the rear but it has coilovers so i doubt
that will ever happen.
