Hehehe - OK - what does the sticker say?
You didn't happen to notice any bits like an induction kit / aftermarket exhaust / piggyback ECU or anything like that on the car?

Why do you want a bodykit? - you have veilside side skirts and a veilside rear spoiler - I wouldn't personally add the veilside front - its a bit old school! - how about a Bozz speed front spoiler?

And maybe the rear veilside bumper?

Had a sticker on mine when I got it saying it was tuned by Razo, but all it meant was that it had Razo pedals and a Razo gear knob, gear knob gone when I got it but has a razo sticker showing the gears, where reverse is at.

The Fto seems to be very highly tuned from the factory, from what I've read its hard to get much more bhp out of it without spending a good few €€.

Yeah it has a HKS Mushroom green stuff induction. Huge back pipe... welded. Havent noticed an ECU upgrade as of yet. Saturday and sunday i will giving a good going over so im sure ill notice.
I wanna change the skirts to shogun skirts and i dunno what else.

The thing is im not sure if i wann put money into this as i really want a manual... although the tip is really REALLY fun. I think im gonna try and swap it for the manual

You have the car 5 mins and you're already talking about a manual?
You might remember me saying to drive a variety of different cars before making a decision!

What are "shogun" skirts?
Is the exhaust on the car just a backbox or a full stainless system?

[St3vo]

I know I know....dont get me wrong the car is sweet and if a swap doesnt come up i'll still be over the moon with it.

Its a back box.

Its a back box.

All a back box is gonna do is make more noise, whats needed is a larger bore system from the cat back to get any improvement over the stock setup, any power increase will only be noticable at high speed/revs, however.

Stevo, drive the tip for a few months and see how you feel about it, you're only after buying the thing Something tells me you should have held out!

It'd be pretty mad to swap already but having said that, there is a red 95 manual in the B+S now for 6950, and you could swap the spoiler and skirts too which is a bonus.

I test drove a silver 95 tip gr in THmotors in harolds cross there last weekend, first time I've ever driven anything that wasnt a manual.. seemed grand, fun even!
I'd just stick with it now that you have it...

[St3vo]

After playing with it over the weekend. It is fun. I serviced it all on saturday. Belts (power steering, fan belt , timing belt) Breaks oil, front 3 sparks (didn't have a gasket to replace the rear 3.
Running great. Ridiculously fast! >:- >
