Greetings from Trinidad with pics!

Postby greengong » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:02 am

Hi everyone, I am a new FTO owner from Trinidad in the Caribbean. There are only 19 of these here.

I purchased a second hand GPX facelift model FTO that has been parked up for about half its lifetime. Its basically still new, body is excellent, interior is great except for the console surround and engine works flawless.

I come from a background of turboing Lancers and I noticed a couple similarities between the 2 cars as well as the eclipse, which I am familiar with.

Anyway hope to learn some stuff from you guys.

Yup, the air filter was temporarily placed like that until I moved the battery to the trunk and routed the intake where it used to be.
