Mitsu FTO, fartcan exhaust, hateful owner
Discussion
There is a person that lives down my road who has a Mitsubishi FTO with a drainpipe exhaust. He apparently doesn't work, as this car gets started up, revved from cold for no reason, then driven around at all hours of the day and night. They drive down the street at high revs in first gear, probably in order to be as noisy as possible. Not only does it sound s
t, but it is a real disturbance as we live on a small cul-de-sac of semi-detached houses and we can practically hear each other's bodily functions from indoors. The car is regularly broken, presumably because he doesn't know what he is doing (as illustrated by revving from cold), and yet he regularly fiddles with the bonnet up like he knows what he is doing. This is mainly a vent as I don't have the courage to go have a word, as many down the street have tried and it simply ends in a slanging match (he is about 21, living with a bird twice his age). I wish I had an air gun, so whenever they went past my house I could ding a panel.

Report him, log his behaviour, video it, etc and then submit it to the local police.t, but it is a real disturbance as we live on a small cul-de-sac of semi-detached houses and we can practically hear each other's bodily functions from indoors.

There are a couple of overly loud FTO's round my way - seem to be popular, I guess because they are quite a good looking car and have a bit of poke about them.
Cousin has had a few and taken a couple to the 'ring - seems to like them.
Anyway, back on topic - it sounds like a public disorder thing so as above, log it, record it etc, jsut don't let him catch you

ive had an FTO for 4 years and the complaint above is one of the main reasons ive justy changed cars. the pricepoint for them has fallen through the floor and they are now seen as a good car for those less desirable types (as mentioned above) the ftooc is now over run with japcans, 19" wheels and stupid bodykits.

i'd keep a record of his anti-social behaviour and speak to the police (or remove the exhaust for him late one night)

Sadly true. I gave up being a member as there seemed to be no interest in pics of my unmodified and clean example at PH meets yet endless praise and respect for anyone who fitted quad exhausts, painted theirs bright orange or stuck a naff ill-fitting bodykit on like this:
Just nuke it from orbit, same applies to anyone else who sees a horrible fartcan example, that way the value of mine should slowly rise
I would estimate section diameter of said pipe at 5". Marrow required.
Definitely not his Mum, there is a shocking back-story which is not something I want to go into on here! By that I mean actually shocking, not just lower middle-class curtain twitching shocking. However this is indeed 'street rumour'.
Askmid!! What an idea... I can't believe I didn't think of that. Someone might get right on it.
It is nowhere near as accomplished as the modified versions in the posted photos, it is a PoS.
