As title I'm thinking about selling my GTi (I've been tempted by an FTO!!) heres the spec:-

Its a 99 T reg, I'm the 3rd owner & had done around 76K, in good nick although arches starting to rust slightly.

It came with
Janspeed exhaust including sport cat
Chipped (not sure what chip or the effects, previous owner just said it smoothed the power band out a bit).
K&N induction & cold air feed
Debadged

So far I've done:-
Removed K&N
New alloys (Thanks Almeratoon)
rear wiper mod & relocation
Golf 'GTi' badge
Cup & coin holder mod
Blue LED conversion (really pleased with less than a £10 from Ebay).
New number plates with flag & nissan badge on
Clear side repeaters
Sony Headunit & multi-changer fitted
VIbe Fli 10 SUB & Amp fitted
now deglobe indicators
Centre console has been sprayed Metallic Gunmetal Silver

ahhh god dude, dont bother honestly mate them FTO's are a bag of shite.. my bro's girlfriend had 1 and they are wank

Plus, I thought youve only just got the GTi?? well not long ago lol
 
FTO's look like they should push Porsche's but struggle to chase 2.0 Mondeo's. Unless you can find a late spec V6 Manual with MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) then dont bother. There shit.
 
One complaint I've heard about FTO is that the space around your elbows to turn the steering wheel is narrow! The steering wheel is wider than the elbow space. So it can't be comfortable as your GTi, unless you like driving with your elbows locked inwards?

The only mitsubishi worth getting is an EVO. rowdy-GTi is right, you'd be so disappointed!

Like Rowdy says, even those arent that great. A mate of mine has one and another mate in a standard Clio Williams 3 can out run him. They look and sound great but thats about it really.
 
Thanks for all the comment, I have come to my senses and decided to keep the GTi, The FTO is just gorgeous looking though but not very fast, I decided I would rather have less gorgeous but fast = Almera GTi, so not selling

The darkside, you were tempted; choose well, you did.
 
Still tempted just cause they look stunning, but put off at the prospect of only £1500 for mine :( thought it'd be worth at least 2K!! , ah well just stick to the original plan keep the almera till it goes to car heaven & then get a Turbo car (Glanza, scooby, etc) at least when I'm a few years older insurance will be more reasonable ;)
