The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

hi lads been on various fto forums but they seem very slow not much traffic
ive just bought a 95 gr not imported till 2005 so reckon the rust will be ok for a while the tappets are very noisy on start up is there a special oil and filter for them some have a jet inside ill uploads some pics for you

with old wheels

new ones piaa rozzas only cost 70
got them blasted sprayed in moonstone silver with gold and red flakes by my bro in law

nice one

welcome to the club.
I had a GR a while back and it to had noisy tappets on start up. Unfortunately if you want to get the noise to go away they more than likely need to be replaced and it costs a small fortune as Its a fairly big job replacing them. Unlike the Gpx model which you can adjust them.

A thicker oil will help a little but not a magical cure.

Welcome along mate

Welcome!
