The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Alright lads,

Became the owner of a '95 GR tip recently and have been back and forward off the site simply looking guides but haven't had the chance to say hello yet, so here it is.

Site's a handy job, I'm sure i'll read through most of the technical stuff along the way lol. Some great guides and advice for FTO owners though, which I really appreciate as I knew little of the technical side of the cars beforehand, only knew them from playing Gran Turismo.

Only have a few pics from when I got her into the yard for the first time:



Straight swap for my SS-1 Celica I had which simply lacked the power but a lovely, if not similar style car.


Having failed the MOT last week due to tyres and lights not being correctly aligned I have passed on the retry and got my decat on
Decat From Youtube.com

And replaced the bracket on my fuel filler cap which conveniently broke off the day before the MOT.

Also got a Ralliart air filter and radiator caps etc to clean to bay a bit and other wee bits and bobs including a front strut brace (compliments of Mr. ebay). A nice shiny set of mud flaps and a set of 15" 6 spoke rims (to replace the ugly 3 spoke jobs) I've sort of sprayed Ford Graphite Grey and painted the brakes. Hopefully getting her lowered tomorrow so if I don't find a more recent pic before then I'll get one fired up after it.

Car's looking well Tiernan, best colour too
Best of luck with the mods, oh and welcome along
Embedding video, that's new

welcome tiernan mine sounds like that too nice. But my exhaust is broke o and wheres you petrol cap door?

welcome along Tiernan, maybe should've got those tappets sorted before doin the suspension. Not a good sign when they can be heard over a decat. good call gettin shot of those three spoke rims.

Wecome Tiernan and good luck with the car.

Can you please reduce the size of your signature, max allowed size as per forum rules is 10kb, yours is 47kb.

Tappets haven't been giving any noise since mate... think the car just needed a good run due to it been sitting for a few months with the previous owner.

I did however have to clean out the idle motor this morning, seems to be ticking over a bit better now.

Here's a pic from today with the car lowered and my wheels finished

Looking better already.

the wheels an lower stance are a vast improvement. nice touch painting them satin black

Welcome to fto ownership.

Wise choice.

Brilliant move on the springs and wheels... Car looks amazing. Some difference from the first picture. you must be delighted with that improvement. well done!
