Fully loaded cars have been building an FTO/Evo roadster that will be 4WD, it's been a while though so don't hold your breath.
Check them out on Facebook.

Are You plan on doing 4WD FTO?

Nope. However I have played with the idea of a sequential gearbox for me I feel rather than taking the car off the road for another year money spent on getting the power down would be best. And allow me to get the panda out for a few track & drag days this year.

Did You try 4.6 FD from 1.6 Mivec?

Honestly the gpx has a pretty awesome ratio for a turbo fto. Its long enough that at launch your not going to just spin up and be left unable to get traction. However for a na fto its a nice option.
If you didn't want to do too much messing a GR as a shorter ratio FD than a GPX.

I raced once FWD GSR converted Lancer boosting 1.2 bar with mivec 1.6 box, that was the fastest thing after 360hp evo 7 ive drove once. With good tires at the front U would get quite fast of the start line, however owner of that GSR conversion didnt have big problems with traction and that was on wet road.

Gear ratios on GPX are same as in the 1.6 box except 1-st and 5-th gears and 4.6 final drive versus 4.3 on FTO.

Afaink GR is an tip, i didnt know U can use any bits from tiptronic in manual gearbox?
