Thats pretty awsome, I used to own a subaru liberty 2.2 litre, it had a lot of bottom end torque and a lot of body roll, with my fto its got a lot of top end and basically doesn't even roll when going into a corner.
I love the FTO and another thing is not many people in town know what it is, I sorta feel like one of those old men driving around town in their BMW M3 because no one else has one and I look and feel rich which I'm not.

That have to be one of the best S bend in Vic, cause i know lots of rexes & skyline been raped by Type R & FTO at that bend before, mind u cops are there all the time, so consider yourself lucky :wink:

If anyone read the newest Wheels, they did a handling test on 21 performance car, and the RenaultSport Clio (FWD) beat a WRX STi (MY06) at cornering. And the Accord Euro isn't far behind either. So i guess on dry rd, it really depends on the driver.

Your FTO is turbo?

Its the most Mag's featured FTO in Aus, it use to be Scracy, & W.R picked it up at a bargain price.

There are now 3 turbo FTO in Vic that i'm aware of. :lol:

Didn't you picked it up around $23k? I was going to get it for $25k from Scracy (before you met him) but my mrsssssssss won't let me after we got dig when we getting a 2nd FTO.

Consider all the mod (not just turbo) you had on your car, its a bargain.

Why are all of WildRide's posts deleted?

Is there some dodgy things going on in here that I don't know about?

I know there is no way in hell you can pay for all the stuff under the hood of that car by doing tune ups and selling groceries!

Whatever it is you're in on...I want in too!
