Mitsubishi Galant FTO Coupe

The Galant FTO Coupe is another retro Japanese ride which is screaming out for some drifting action.

I think this is one classy looking beast, and after dropping a more modern engine in, this thing would go like it looks!

The factory engine was a 120PS 1.6 Litre lump, if memory serves, it was called a "Neptune" engine. Spares for these things will be pretty scarce, reinforcing the justification for an engine transplant. I think a light block V8 would suit a car like this, I can just hear it roaring now! I don't think Mitsubishi have every made a V8, so one would probably have to be sourced from another Jap marque, or mayebe even the light and versatile RoverV8 (stop laughing, that's what's in most TVR and Lotus Esprit you know!)

Sadly, these things are really rare. But they do come up for aution every now and again, so I'll be keeping my eyes open!
