Another Newb...

[Hostile Smoker]

Thought I'd best say hi and introduce myself before I go posting elsewhere...

I currently drive an FTO but after nearly 4 years ownership I think I've exhausted the possibilities with it and am looking at getting an S13 and attempting to learn how to drift (at least having good fun in the progress :) )

My FTO (http://www.hostilesmoker.com) :

Right, I'm off to scour the for sale section...

Yep mine is the GPX Mivec, Manual, done quite a bit to it now and I must admit I do still love driving it - just a shame it's not RWD or I'd keep it!

(it is for sale if you want one that much... ;) lol )

Still got the Trophy. Has pride of place in the living room. :) Never did see our acceptance photos though :(

I'll never forget when you unveiled yours at the Midlands "Mini" Meet, that was awesome :notworthy

Still miss mine from time to time....then I take the SX out and the chattering turbo soon cheers me up :D

I think most of us had enough imagination to picture the finished article. IIRC it was only the interior that wasn't finished.....most people were busy drooling over the bonnet :smitten:

[_shaun_]

welcome mate!! I don't know why but i don't want to like FTO's and the more i try to hate them the more i like them:wack:

lol, yeah it had leather back seats & standard fronts IIRC, also there were no lights in the bumper, just holes... :)

Yep, must admit there lack of tuning options (ok, lack of turbo & RWD) is there falling point, if only I could get more power out of it I'd be happy - they're still a real pleasure to drive but just not quite enough :(

Just got mine back from the garage today and took it for the first drive in ages, I'm so tempted to keep it and try get an S13 as well... lol


Welcome mate! :wave: Veilside kit?
Yep, original Veilside kit but modified to fit updated lights in the front bumper. :cool:
