Nice collection of cars you've had there.

Pics of the FTO please - it looks nice in your avatar

So, what's it like on the Nordschleife and the autobahn...?

[Mogli]

Looking out for nice wheels, but very hard to find in germany. And waiting for the v5 document since 4 weeks>:/
Little mods: ralliart suspension, decat, stainless middle and back exhaust, hks air filter,
The german nct is very hard and very expensive but the autobahn is real fun until 180 kmh lol
Have to delimted it:)

Very nice looking car.

[Dragonheart]

Wow thats a serious list of previous cars!! Can I ask why you moved to an FTO after owning an S15 Spec R, an R-34, and a 350Z?
I must admit I love those S15 Spec R's, really nice looking! And the R-34 is my favorite Skyline by far! What type of R-34 was it? GTT, GTS, or GTR?

[Mogli]

Pic of my cars, my favourite was the s15, but i havnt get a german nct here:( i had fery fun to try another japanese sportcars;) but since 2years i have big money problems:(
The pic shows my first car the silver mazda to my last car the mr2.

Hehe my sky was a gtt:) the gtr is toooo expensive
My dream car is a NSX;)

The red FTO is lovely. What did you think of the Eclipse? Is it slow compared to the rest of the cars?

[Mogli]

The eclipse is a very nice looking car, but only lhd, i had the strongest modell 3,0 v6 with 213 hp but its much slower than the celica and the gpx manuell. The eclipse has a boring chrysler engine, rews only up to 6200. Cockpit and style is amazing but no performance car.
I wish i had see this community erly. So many gp version r for under 2000euro with nice rims;) dont get nece wheels in germany.

[Mogli]

Sorry i forget it. All my cars was manuell transmission. So the eclipse is with manuell gearbox Very slow too.
The fastest was the mr2. Gen3 mr2's are crazy ;D

[Dragonheart]

MR2 faster than a 350Z or an R34?? Really? By 3rd gen I presume you mean the MRS? Isn't that only about 150bhp? I would have that bottom of your list.
The Eclipse is a purely American market car. Totally underpowered, its a bit of a disgrace, a 3L car putting out so little bhp. It should be a minimum of 275 for that size engine.

[Mogli]

Sorry, i mean the w2 mr2 gen3 modell with 245hp.the black one on my pic. A 350z is a joke for the w2 gen3 ;D the last modell have only 140hp.
Yes your right the eclipse is a pure american car.

[Myfeckin FTO]

Welcome along.

Nice list of cars - have had a couple similar to your list myself. I'm presuming that MR2 is the Mk2 turbo - they are a very understated performance car - any I've come across in the 1/4 mile have been seriously quick.

Thats a clean looking example of an FTO you got there as well. Interested in hearing what the typical value of a good condition FTO is in Germany?

[Mogli]

I found on the german car websites only 1 mivec manuell. He want 5500€ for. I sell my red fto for 4000€. But you have to spend over 700€ for the nct/mot. Hard to get a registration for a fto. Car must be stock, because is impossible to get a nct without paper for the aftermarket parts. Ihave changed all things for nct and the most expensive is to modify the headlights. Because they shines to the wrong side. Have to change the projectors.
very very rare car, and if you see ones it is a gr and over 90% a automatic.
The people here are afraid by rhd cars. Very hard to sell ones.
