[Myfeckin FTO]

[optical illusion]

I am simply lovin your sticker on the back

[colm_mcm]

The side mivec stickers would look class lower down.

Awesome home build, fair play for taking it on.

Someone on here had an animated version of that as an avatar a few years back, anyone remember who it was?

[V6 Mivec Colt]

Cheers lads.

Yes them stickers would actually look better lower i never noticed that lol head be wrecked now.

Ya it was some job out the front infairness and customizing that fto exhaust to fit the colt was some pain broke my heart bending hangers welding flanges etc

got an engine crane about 10 o clock one night and i couldnt go asleep knowing crane and engine in shed so i went out in the dark and droped it in and spent about 2hr staring at the v6 in the bay

Ya shane no hassle the car is off to a lads warehouse down waterford till june his doing a few bits to it for me as i have no time with college exams at moment.

When i have it back in june ill race any of yere fto's if ye want to compare the difference if there even is any (Private road of cousre).

Thanks

What was the Colt, assuming it was a 1.3 originally, or was it 1.6 Mivec?

I'd imagine the Colt will end up slightly quicker in a straight line, but the FTO will go around corners better?

.......I'd imagine the Colt will end up slightly quicker in a straight line, but the FTO will go around corners better?

Will depend on the FTO - all comes down to what uprated suspension, gearbox ratios (lsd), brakes and tyres you'd be running.
Would expect that colt to weigh around 1000kgs which would be a difficult weight to achieve in an FTO - that yoke should see early 14 sec 1/4 mile times.

My fastest FTO (now Stewys) was 14.7 sec in the 1/4 mile. Theres your benchmark to beat.

Only one way to find out

Ya shane it it striped out only dash and 2 evo recaros staying in so should be pretty light

Ill hopefully beat that as a lad with a 16a Sir crx is getting 14.1 in bishopscourt

I HAVE to beat him to stop his cockyness haha

[goz_83]

Just finished a game of poker there and a good portion of the game was spent with me laughing at my brother-laws-mate, who believes his focus 1.8 tdci would beat my gpx. I said that a remapped focus wouldn't come close, let alone his standard one, but some people have no clue do they? I might suggest he race your colt for a laugh.

[V6 Mivec Colt]

haha they really dont if i was you i wouldnt even bother wasting your petrol thats not going to be a race

Or do race him and take it handy for half the race let him believe he has you then unleash her haha

[goz_83]

He shook on €200

[colm_mcm]

I'd be suspicious.....

[StewyD32]

Yeah. What's under the hood.
Are ya sure it's bog standard?

[V6 Mivec Colt]

have a look under bonnet first see can u notice if its an engine swap job or anything if not
Go for it although u better make sure his no gaurd or anything

If u lose just dont pay up and if u win make sure he does haha

[goz_83]

I'm sure. I wouldn't take his money though. He'd probably have a heart attack.
