Just bought me another car to add to the Parsons Stable (well perhaps Kennel might be more apt)

Have bought a 95 Mitsubishi FTO GPX is Silver with Very Large Wheels, Neon Greeny Blue Dials and a Clifford Alarm which starts it remotely.

Who else on here has got one? I need to find a decent specialist in the Andover, Winchester, Salisbury, Basingstoke area who can service it, any one got any recommendations? Love that Manic howl at 5k rpm

yup, congrats,
brill cars for a laugh, just add a decent exhaust (apexi or similar..)
and a induction kit, and it will make you melt...
gorgeous noise when the Mivec cuts it....

That looks nice, What exhaust is that (mine used to have a Large exhaust on it) however it failed its MOT as there was a hole in it and I agreed to a lower price if they replcaed it with a standard one and gave me the old one (it was the middle bit - although I have not had a look underneath it - that needed replacing- I was hoping I might be able to find a pipe to replace the holed bit)

I take it if you are SW then you are not a million miles from me where do you get yours serviced?

Its an apexi cat back unit, which has a lifetime guarntee, which sounds quite fruity.
I service the car myself,with the only thing i wouldn't touch being the Cam belt.
I had that changed in a garage called Karma Imports in Fishponds, Bristol.
