I have been thinking awhile now . Has anyone ever tried to make a FTO front bumper onto a 1g or 2g ? or even more difficult. Import a FTO into the states and dropped a 4g63t into it ?

i spent some time in Japan... i am about 90% sure that when i pulled a pair of e-brake cable out of one of those it was AWD... they were basically a shortened non turbo GTO.

Wrong, FWD only. The FTO came with an earlier version of the V6 Found in the 3g Eclipse's, and FWD. They had 3 different Platforms, all FWD. 4G93 4Cyl FWD, GA12 V6 FWD, and GA12 Mivec V6 FWD. They were basically an earlier 3G Eclipse.

Mitsubishi FTO - Wikipedia

I always wanted an FTO. LOL on xBox Juiced 1, I had a FTO GP Version R Aero Series for my Trick car! I could spin that bi*** around sooo well. Damn I miss that game.

I think they look sweet. I always liked them on gran turismo. They had an awd one on there but i know they only came fwd. I still would rather have an evo 3 or 5. I think the front bumper might look good on a 2g but not a 1g. The lines just dont flow for the 1g. They should have come awd or rwd.
 
Dam juiced was my game! LOL but I too have always wanted an FTO...talk about badass!
 
I seriously wana get one and drop an engine in it or mod the #### out of the stock engine
 
I'd like to have one though and drop a 4g63t in it

the fto weighs almost 1000 lbs less than a 2g with a v6 in it . Imagine a 4g63 in there it'd be like a colt only sleaker
 
^^ Want me to find the price of one for ya? I mean, i live here in NZ and see them everyday. They look cheap, and drive "cheap" from what im told.

Im telling you, you found like one of the "nicest" pictures of one...they are disgusting in person. From the rear it is retarded and just looks terrible, the lines on the windows are all wrong.

And that front bumper isnt the stock front bumper from your first picture.

You should find a niec VR4 like my best friend and house mate has. He has a 99 VR4 V6 twin turbo. Thing is mean, AWD of course....
 
Agreed the back is horrible.

But anyways the article talks about what they would do to the car to reclaim its name, because even in the mag, they say its a SHIT car LOL. But besides that, it says they would put a 4g63T in it and put it from North to South (not like our cars are East to West), big wheels, upgraded tranny, turbo ect ect.

Even tho i have said time and time i dont like the FTO's i thought i would take the time to scan and upload that for you Highland

Cheers
