Any1 Know Much About FTO's?

[Guest INASNT]

Gfriend has been looking at getting 1.

Saw a real sweet 1 today 95 with mivec engine, veilside full kit, 2.5 inch with 5 inch tip exhaust, glitter blue paint and imac condition. Took it for a drive and the mivec screams over 5000rpm. Its an triptronic auto and like all mitsu front wheel drive cars it like to clunch when changing gears at high rpm and when sometimes slowing down fast.

Whats the difference between GPX, SR or whatever other models they have.

Oh this 1 was $23,000 with 46,000 on the clock and a real sweet ride.

GPX MIVEC 5-speed is what you want - 150kW but thru the front wheels so it's not the dorifto that Skyline owners enjoy.

Also parts are rare as rocking horse droppings.

she cant drive manual!

Teach her in your 'line !! hehe.

So what if she bunny hops the trans, crunches the gears and rides the ***k out of the clutch.

j/k

[Guest INASNT]

she has already asked me to teach her in my car.

I told her i plan on getting a new clutch when mine dies from having 2 much power, not from her wearing or breaking it

my mate is selling his white 98 model one with a veilside kit

My sister was looking at getting one a couple of years ago. Very much a chicks car FWD with some boot. The auto is nice as the manual has a dodgey shift feel.. Maybe it's just me on that...

my sister did a fair bit of research. A Mitsu dealer in Perth said they could get parts and would do her servicing !

Apart from that the MIVECS are grunty and move in the high rev range.

Overall a good car.. But $23K is a bit rich isn't it ?

yep its got info but thats about it

[Mr. Oizo]

yea.. u can check which model ur looking for..

i'm thinking GPX Tiptronic.. go for a later model.. because they have like HID and stuff...

[Silver-Arrowz]

GPX gets the mivec motor. Can remember all models but next down is same motor minus mivec and bottom model is a 1.8 I think.
