The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Saw this on FTOAus and thought that this was a really novel idea for a meet - DIY Day

Basically - everyone comes with their own snag list and gets the benefit and experience of all others who may have completed the jobs previously.

Tools / Power / Location could of course prove a challenge.

Might be an idea for a day during the long hot summer ?

Excellent idea - I have a location in Limerick with full lift/tools access that we could use for a day for €50 each. We could all have a mini service/oil change/filter change and also for the purposes of learning do one of the following - spark plug change/ tappet adjustment on the mivec / brake pad and fluid change / aux belt change etc etc.

So we'd all leave with serviced cars and hopefully learn something new from the experience.

i'd be def up for this, more for the learning side of things! don't have a whole lot of mechanical knowledge! could service your boiler in a jiffy though!

Been meaning to book that gas boiler service - do you do nixers? ;)

Sounds like a great idea for a meet later on nexy year - FTO servicing 101 if you like.

That sounds like a great idea. I'd def be on for that, even if I didn't need anything done at the time, always interested to learn something.

I think Killorglin might be a good spot for a meet like this

Yeah, I can imagine the conversation "So I what I really need is a replacement ***? Oh, wait, there's one over there.."

*** = insert part name here

Even handy for somone wantuing to do mods like coilovers or springs

i'd be game for this ...


i guess you should drive the FTO down with a few faults so the other lads can fix it for you ?


i'd be happy to share some knowledge with other lads anytime!


Bring The meet ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i guess this should be the firs big meet next spring after the February MEET !!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like an excellent idea. Not massively mechanically minded but I'm always willing to have a go at fixing things on the car.

Exactly - this could be tied in with a sort of FTO 'car boot sale' where everyone brings all the spare parts they have second hand / new.

savage idea!


Im not very knowledgable (Sp???) on much but i have small hands and have a knack with changing bulbs

Excellent
