#61 Team Taeivon Ralliart Mitsubishi FTO
Discussion
Hi all,
Firstly; I'm new to this forum so I'm hoping this is in the right section :P
I've been scouring the internet for a few hours now in search for any information on the Team Taeivon Ralliart Mitsubishi FTOs; unfortunately all I can find is a few pictures...
I own an FTO myself and have never really heard of any in professional use (maybe there's a reason for that!) but still; would be great to find out what it took to bring one up to competition standard and these seem to be the only ones in history that have done it. I know they've raced in Japanese GT300 and appear in some Gran Turismo games - but that's literally all I can find; being an Xbox man I can't even have a look on GT haha!
This is a bit of a shot in the dark but if anyone knows anything; please share xD
Cheers,

All I have to add is that the FTO has a certain hold over me. The primary reason is that it was 'my car' when playing the original gran tourismo.
It was the first car I selected and slowly but surely tweaked it up over the weeks and months with my win money.
Even when I was suitably flush with game cash and win cars, I just continued with it and ended up in a mad state of tune.
It was totally undriveable for all my uni housemates to the point that they all despised it, but in my hands was bloody competitive against pretty much anything!!
As you were and thanks for indulging a man whose kids now rule the home games console, a brief trip down memory lane!

Haha what you've just described probably beats anything I've managed to find online - have a look in the YouTube link below; is this what you're remembering? Speaking of which; here's another picture:
I know it's stupidly small but am I right in thinking that's an Evo engine (4G63)? So this was probably an AWD conversion? However; in the GT2 video below - which may be wrong - it suggests a FF setup..
