Some of the older people are hanging shit on this thread but u still need to remember there is not that much out there for a P plater these days and to get an FTO GPX MIVEC is pretty sweet ride.

ummmmmmmmm shows how little you know

over all its safer for a P-plater to be in a rwd than a fwd unless its a 4ws lol

i do agree with Darkness thuo. I live in SA where p-platers can drive turbos and v8 and been in the car seen and spend alot of nights out in my car in the city and hills and have found they spend more time in finding the fastest cat that they can get there hands and putting it around a pole or in a dich then finding a good car to drive thats cheep to run and good to get there skills up in

I have driven both the 4 and 6cly FTO and found there ok but rember there not cheep on parts and most of them are auto and auto sports cars a just fail



Have they stopped teaching english in schools in SA?

get fucked, there's heaps of cars that P platers can get if they used their brains. it's just that most of you seem to think the only valid cars are
A)Honda's (fair enough)
B) useless non-turbo versions of good cars
.. and now FTO's lolol

Probably the best out of the lot, easiest to swap 4G63T into compared to the V6's, rare as hen's teeth though

all the knockers should actually drive one. for what they are they're a good bit of kit. they handle great standard and the gbox ratios are perfectly matched to the perky mivec 6 cylinder. they'll out perform most of the p plate eligible cars for the same price as what the fto's are going for. i'd certainly choose an fto over a p-plate silvia anyday. and the fto is exceptional value when you can beat more expensive cars like autech s15's around a track anyday of the week.

You do realise the FTO used in that video is a Version R.

Comparing that to a GPX is like comparing a VTi-R DC2 to a Type R DC2

So what you're saying is, even the best FTO can only just beat a 1.6L Civic?

thats not just any 1.6 civic! try type-r civic. correct me if im wrong but isn't that the best model factory civic available from honda?there was an sir civic(vti-r) bit it was so slow it was out of the picture.

yea it's a Type R. But a B16B is overrated. It's got an identical power curve to a B16A up until 8.5k rpm. Where it continues to make power to 9k rpm. It also has the same 4.7 final drive as the ITR compared to the SiR's 4.4.
I'd much prefer a B18C swapped car. Which is a cheaper conversion to do in Aus anyway.
