Re: O the Possibilities

Well basically the FTO is based on the Older Style Eclipse... The reason why it wasnt imported here is that fact that both the cars would be competing with eachother... Dont quote me on this but I think there are a lot of differences between the New Eclipse and the FTO... The biggest difference is the New Eclipse has a Longer wheelbase than the FTO. No Canada didnt have the FTO either sad to say.

Ok the engine is an Awsome engine in itself... The problem with the engine is that the engine is so well tuned that the basic bolt ons would be the only upgrades that could make a big difference. Turboing a Mivec V6 is a big no no... That engine isnt the strongest... People usually use the non Mivec engines because its more turbo friendly but still it has limited possibilities... best bet is leave it non turbo... either that or engine swap it with a turbo engine and drivetrain my 2 cents
