post that pic of the 2g w/ FTO headlights, i want to see how that looks...

 

[DIMONDSTAR77]

well i ment the body. i love the front end on a FTO, and the tail lamps. wish they would have sold them here before they quit making them. GP versionR is tight. and i too would like to see that pic.

u cannot convert to a fto without an imense amount of custom work, and why downgrade engines?

 

[STECARS]

Ok , i tried uploading again and i wont work. says pick is too big and need to resize. I proceeded to resize and failed again. Can i email this to someone to post it.??

This isn't Gran Turismo, there never was an AWD version of the FTO. They were all bloated, underpowered whales. In fact, the closest thing to an FTO is the 3G. So there's something to think about.

Whales? I don't think so. They're very small cars and the top trims are similarly powered to a stock GST. I know a 1/2 dozen people who own them as they only cost $4.5k to $5.5k at any dealership here. They look nice, especially when kitted. I thought about getting one a couple years ago but since I can't import it, why bother.

ok i retract my statement anyone know how he did this?
just a headlight conversion?

I think it looks ok, it really wouldn't work if they didn't mold the bumper and the fenders together. I bet those headlights are exspensive, and depending on who you have do it you might bespending anywhere from 200 to 800 on just the work alone.

[uh...yeah. Fine.]

Like you said, back to the topic.

[Now, THERE'S an idea.]

Those headlights on the 2g dont look half bad. I bet that was an expensive custom fiberglass job, and itll be hard to find a shop that does work that good for a fairly low price. Im not so sure that I like those taillights, but it is a nice install.

Uh-uh, he's right. The Gran Turismo version is AWD, but the real-life one is FWD.

Unlike the four-wheel-drive version in the Sony PlayStation Gran Turismo game, the real FTO puts its power through the front wheels - and they can't cope. Accelerate hard and the steering wheel writhes in your hands as the tyres struggle to translate the power into forward motion.

I love being right. FTO is front wheel drive (in the game). The GTO is AWD. Sorry. But I won't quit when I know I'm right.

From your Gamefaqs link:

FTO '94 GR-----------FF 5 161 328 2535 1977 1697 Fair
FTO GR---------------FF 5 171 326 2535 1977 1697 Fair
FTO '94 GPX---------FF 5 189 364 2579 2010 1726 Fair
FTO GPX-------------FF 5 189 364 2579 2010 1726 Fair
FTO GP Version R---FF 5 189 364 2535 1977 1697 Fair

FF means Front wheel driven, Front engine mount. There's a AWD Limited Edition car on there, but its not real.

Here's more stuff to peruse, I dont give easy either:

The FTO was a car intended solely for the Japanese market, but a lot have been imported to the UK.

Despite this, the FTO has become one of the most popular import cars in the UK. The number of them sold here must be making Mitsubishi question why they did not start to sell it here officially sooner and in greater quantity than they did (just a few cars around 1999-2002 sold through the Ralliart division).

The FTO was launced in 1994 and won the Japanese Car of the Year title. To celebrate this a special edition car was released featuring Dandelion Yellow paintwork and "Car of the Year" badges.

A revision was made in 1997/98. This consisted of a facelift to the front end and some equipment changes.

Between 1995 and 2000 there were 16,500 FTOs made.

Mitsubishi's own performance figures are:
Model: FTO GPX
Transmission: 5MT, FWD
Engine: V6 2000cc MIVEC DOHC 24 VALVE
Power: 200PS @ 7500rpm
Torque: 20.4kgm @ 6000rpm
0-60: 6.3s
Max Speed: 149mph

Q. What is the vital performance stats of an FTO?
A. GPX Model example below:

Model: FTO GPX

GTO = 3000GT. Of course its AWD. I dont know where it came up, but this thread is about the FTO, and its FWD.

Alright, then.

When you girls stop leaving ketchup smudges everyplace you sit, start another thread.

I've never seen such a bitchy bunch of bullshit.

However, it's certain no more will be seen in this thread.
