hi ya people ive just perchased my first fto ive had a few toy cars in my time but this one seem to be the best all rounder ive had.
(sport and pratical) i was delighted to find thier is an irish owners club as i know nothing really about jap cars apart from if u have a subaru be good at changing engines haha. hopefull the fto is more reliable

Welcome. Curious to understand what your definition of a 'toy car' is ?

thanks for all the hellos
and my toy cars are the ones i spend money on rather than gong out and having a life ha ha
my first was a nova when i was 18
that got rolled woops
then a xr2i came along to take my money till rust forced me to get rid
next was my most expensive a band new vtr saxo 7000 for the car them 19'000 to make it the way i wanted with the whole car being custom in the end which i brought with me when moving to ireland BAD IDEAdo not lower a saxo 72mm then drive on irish roads i sold that with a lot of cracks in the body kit
first irish toy a mr2 2 weeks after i found out id be a dad so that went
up next a subaru wrx an enigine 3 weeks after buying it new clocks turbo alternator intercooler and a rake of sensors later i got rid for a manta.
now i have a mchale replica manta rally car and an fto as my toys and im hopeing they will last while longer than the others
does any one else have this mad expensive hobbie or am i just mental?

De3a is the chassis code, much the same as civics are called eg, ek and so on
