The Mitsubishi FTO is something of a symbol of UK buyer power.三菱外国恐怖组织是一个权力的象征,英国买主.

HISTORY历史
Launched in Japan in 1994, the Mitsubishi FTO became the first sports car to win the coveted Japanese Car Of The Year award since the MK 1 Toyota MR2 in 1984.发起于1994年在日本、三菱跑车外国恐怖主义成为首位赢得觊觎日本车奖队自1984年1月丰田MR2细胞. Based on a modified Mitsubishi Galant platform, the FTO was offered with three engines, a 1.8-litre 16v four-cylinder unit developing 125bhp, a 2.0-litre V6 developing 180bhp and a MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control system) version of the V6 which utilised variable valve timing in order to generate 200bhp.基于三菱加兰特平台改装的外国恐怖组织提供三种引擎180公升16v4缸125bhp开发单位,一个2.0升V6导180bhp和发展mivec(三菱创新气门电子控制系统和电梯)版本的采用可变气门V6导为了赚取200bhp.

Six models are available as imports.六个型号可供作为进口. The 1.8-litre GS is the base model, whilst the GR is similar except for the fitment of the 180bhp 2.0-litre V6.180公升一般是示范基地、虽然躺着除车头类似的180bhp2.0升V6导. The GX Sport is a GR with bigger alloy wheels, better brakes and an aggressive spoiler kit.gx是躺着的运动与合金轮子越大,更好刹车套破坏者和侵略性. The most popular model was the GPX, which used the 200bhp MIVEC V6, but was outwardly similar to the GX Sport.最受欢迎的GPx的模型,用200bhpmivecV6导、gx但外表类似的运动. Two lesser-known versions are the GX Aero, which opted for a more aggressive spoiler kit, and the specialist GP version R, which is a lighter, stiffer version of the GPX.两个较小著名航空gx版本是,选择了更加积极的破坏者杰普通住宅版和专业,这是一个打火机,严厉的GPx的版本. A GPX Type-R if you will.一GPx的R型如果你会. ?Intelligent??聪明? four speed INVECS II automatic gearboxes could be specified, with five-speed auto boxes available from 1997, when the FTO range received a mild facelift.四速自动变速箱可以指定invecs二、五速自动箱可从1997年当接到外国恐怖幅度温和整容. The indicators and front foglamps were now mounted in separate housings whilst the ?mouth?指标和安装在前面foglamps现在虽然分开罩?嘴? at the front of the car was changed from an ovoid shape to a more rectangular appearance.在车头,改为从卵圆形成了一套较为长方形外观.

Originally only intended for the Japanese market, official imports to New Zealand began in 1998 and whilst a few cars were reaching these shores via the ?semi-official?原本只打算在日本市场,开始对新西兰进行正式进口,1998年,只有少数车到达南洋经?半官方? route of Mitsubishi?s Ralliart arm, it wasn?t until May 2000 that the FTO GPX got the official thumbs up from Mitsubishi UK, priced at £22,995.三菱路线?收盘ralliart胳膊它.其余?笔,直到2000年5月正式获得外国恐怖GPx的姆指由三菱英国售价22995英镑. With over 20,000 grey imported FTOs having already arrived, Mitsubishi may just have missed the boat, so as to speak?逾两万进口外国恐怖主义已经抵达灰色,可能只是有错过三菱等发言?

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
Even if the FTO were a dog to drive, which it most certainly isn?t, its popularity would be guaranteed by its rakish styling.即使是一只狗驾驶的外国恐怖组织,它肯定肖国?笔、大众将保证其神仙造型. With muscular front wheel arches that bust gently through the line of the front wing and a beautifully proportioned wedge shape, the FTO is unashamedly pretty.前轮拱门,与肌肉胸像徐徐通过前翼和线的比重楔形优美、外国恐怖组织是彻头彻尾的漂亮. Compared to the Mitsubishi, a Hyundai Coupe or a Toyota Celica appear awkward, misshapen and lugubrious.相对于三菱、丰田celica一个现代采伐或出现尴尬,并擅于演绎悲情畸形. From the front the squinting headlamps and purposeful maw of the air intake give the car genuine overtaking presence ?从车头大灯的凝神茂的针对性和空气摄入真正让车超车存在? you could easily mistake it for a Jaguar XK8 arriving in your mirror.你容易误解为美洲虎xk8抵达贵镜子.

Opt for a Japanese import and it?s quite a lottery which level of equipment you?ll end up with.日本进口和选择吗?收盘相当彩票装备水平吗?当地落得. Mitsubishi pursued a menu-pricing policy with the FTO, offering basic cars with huge, although reasonably priced, option lists.三菱实行菜单定价政策与外国恐怖组织提供巨额基本车,虽然价格合理,选择名单. Expect to find ABS, electrically folding door mirrors, manual air conditioning, a drivers airbag, tilt adjustable power steering and central/remote door locking on most models bar the base 1.8.ABS的期望找到,折叠电动门镜,手动空调,司机安全气囊,动力转向倾斜可调和环/杆型号最偏远的大门锁定基地1.8. UK-spec FTO GPX models were fitted with fully automatic air conditioning, a leather rimmed steering wheel and low-profile 205/50R16 tyres.英国光谱外国恐怖GPx的型号分别装有全自动空调、方向盘及皮革沸腾低调205/50r16轮胎. The interior singularly fails to live up to the visual drama of the FTO?s exterior, being probably its weakest aspect.内政部长奇不辜负视觉话剧<外国恐怖组织?收盘外观,它可能是最弱的方面. There?s quite a large amount of low quality early nineties style plastic on display, and it is this more than anything else that dates the FTO.?收盘相当低质量均居式塑胶展出而且,这比什么都重要的日子外国恐怖组织.

WHAT YOU PAY  您付出
As long as you?re happy to buy a grey import, you can expect to find 1994/95 1.8-litre GS models from around £3,500, with GR models around £500 more.只要你?再快乐买一辆灰色进口你能指望找到1994/95一点八公升左右,一般型号3500英镑,躺着型号500多英镑左右. Pay from £4,500 for a GX Sport whilst GPX MIVEC models start at around £5,000.付了4500英镑来自gx运动虽然GPx的模式开始mivec5000英镑左右. The popular GPX is the most appropriate model to concentrate on, constituting as it does the bulk of UK sales.热门GPx的是最适合的模式集中,构成它的大部分屋销售. A 1997 R registered model should retail at around £6,000 and a 1999 T plated example should fetch £9,000.1997年示范住宅登记,并应当零售约为6000英镑1999英镑9000笔镀来说应该掏. The first of the ?official?第一条?官方? UK GPX models are still worth around £12,000.英国GPx的型号仍值得12000英镑左右. Insurance is best sourced through specialist insurers, as Mitsubishi themselves don?t quote a rating, although a nominal guide for the FTO GPX MIVEC is Group 18.保险是最好的货源,通过专科保险公司作为三菱自己戴上?笔引述评级虽然名义上是指导,为外国恐怖GPx的mivec集团18.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
Take care when inspecting grey import FTOs.照顾查摆灰色进口外国恐怖主义. Ensure that the car has been SVA tested- if not negotiate at least a £500 discount.确保测试车已经刺激性室--如果不是谈判,至少有500英镑的折扣. The modifications required for SVA testing are fairly straightforward.刺激性室测试所需的变通相当简单. Getting your speedometer converted (kmh to mph) shouldn?t be difficult, and several companies can take care of headlight adjustment, fitting restrictor necks inside the fuel fillers to allow only unleaded fuel and the fitting of rear fog lights.转换速度越来越贵(火车到主机)都不应该吗?笔难、几家公司能照顾大灯调整装修节流脖子内填充燃料和无铅汽油只允许后座雾灯. You might need a band expander to plug between the radio and aerial if the appeal of Radio 2 begins to pall, as Japanese radios operate on a different band of frequencies to ours.你可能需要一个乐队膨胀堵塞之间空中如不服广播电台第二开始阴影,由于日本的无线电频率波段操作一个不同的观点. Make sure the 112mph speed restrictor is removed and also check the speed rating of the tyres.做到节流速度112mph并取消检查轮胎的速度等级. Due to the speed limiter, many Japanese cars have cheaper Q rated tyres that will need replacing with at least V rated rubber.由于车速限制器,问很多日本车便宜额定更换轮胎,至少需要五评为橡胶. Exhausts so large you need to check them for tramps in the morning are also a Japanese favourite, and these may exceed SVA noise regulations.那么你需要查阅大量废气,他们流浪在早上也是日本人喜爱,这些可能超过规定的噪音和刺激性室. Dinky wing mirrors will also earn you a fail.dinky还将翼赚你看镜子. Watch out for the sharp practice of importers sticking a new mph face on the existing kmh speedometer.提防锐利坚持实践进口商面临新主机对现有火车车速. Chances are they will have left the odometer unchanged, therefore clocking up a mile for every kilometre the car is driven.很可能只留下铜铁不变因此一个时钟里的车每公里所驱动. Official UK FTOs were offered with a three year unlimited mileage warranty, three year anti corrosion perforation warranty and comprehensive product liability provision, hence going some way to justifying the additional cost.英国官员与外国恐怖主义80707无限里程保修3年,3年保修和综合抗腐蚀穿孔产品责任条款因此如何以某种方式为其额外费用.

FTO-specific problems include faulty central locking, warped brake discs, a flyweight standard-fit battery, less than bulletproof air conditioning and failing window guides resulting in rattly glass.外国恐怖组织特定问题包括中央锁失灵、扭曲刹车碟,一飞锤标准适合电池空调不低于防弹窗户玻璃rattly导致导游. Hard-driven FTOs sometimes give a knocking sound over bumps due to worn anti-roll bar bushes, and dirty idle control valves and sensors can make idling a bit lumpy but by and large the car is surprisingly reliable for such a complex piece of kit.硬驱动有时给予外国恐怖主义组织健全超过1338坎坷因配戴防滚杆草丛、肮脏的闲置和控制阀和传感器可以空转有点磊但出乎意料的是,大轿车可靠这么复杂的杰.

Beware of owners of 180bhp cars trying to pass them off as MIVEC models.提防180bhp轿车车主为入侵者试图通过mivec型号. You can tell the engines apart by the location of the oil filler.你能告诉引擎不但由所在地油填料. It?s mounted on the right of the transverse engine on a 180bhp V6 and on the left on a MIVEC V6.?收盘安装在右边的一个发动机180bhp横向V6和V6导mivec就离去了. Also the second last letter of your car?s chassis number will be a G for a MIVEC GPX and a U or an H for GS or GR models.信中最后还贵车?收盘底盘号码将政mivecGPx的一个或一个小时,一转身对一般或躺着型号. Cam belts need changing every 50,000 miles, and fuel filters need replacing every 60,000 miles.凸轮带每5万英里必须改变,必须更换燃油过滤每60000英里. Make sure the car has been undersealed, as the harsh British winter will reduce an unprotected FTO?s belly and chassis legs to a rusty mess in no time.车一直做到undersealed,严酷的冬天将英国作为一个不受外国恐怖降低?收盘腹部和腿部的底盘锈蚀餐厅没时间. FTOs should be run on a diet of synthetic engine oil and most will benefit from super-unleaded fuel.外国恐怖主义应尝试减肥合成机油,最受惠超级无铅汽油. In case you were wondering what the two plastic loops in the passenger footwell were for, they were used to house distress flares required by Japanese law in the event of a breakdown!如果你想知道两个塑料环客运footwell分别为,他们被用来求救信号弹家日本法律规定,在发生了故障!

REPLACEMENT PARTS  替换零件
(Approximate prices, based on a 2000 FTO V6) Picked up a bargain FTO?(近似价格的基础上,2000年外国恐怖V6导)拿起讨价还价外国恐怖? Before you blow what you saved on a dream holiday in Fuengirola or some attractive uPVC glazing, squirrel some away to cover spares.然后你救了你的梦想击度假fuengirola还是有些吸引力UPVC的玻璃窗,松鼠范围以外的一些零件. After all, should you require a new exhaust system the £800 you?ll need to cover it will have the family looking at a weekend?s B&B this summer in Clacton instead of the Costas.毕竟一旦你需要一个新的排气系统的800英镑,你呢?当地需要涵盖家庭就有一个周末看?收盘民宿clacton反而在今年夏天的木香. A replacement headlamp is a steepish £350, with a starter motor weighing in at £361.更换前照灯steepish是350英镑,以起动发动机重量在361英镑. An alternator is a reasonable £195, whilst front brake pads are £45 and rears a pricey £80.发电机是一个合理的195英镑,而前面的刹车皮45英镑英镑抚养珍藏80. A clutch kit should work out at £200.要制定一个离合器套200英镑. Despite the growing number on Britain?s roads, the FTO is still quite a specialist proposition, although laws of economics dictate that prices should fall?尽管英国越来越多?收盘道路,外国恐怖组织仍然相当专科命题、虽然经济规律支配的价格应该下降?

ON THE ROAD  在路上
The Mitsubishi FTO GPX is a deceptive car.三菱汽车是一种欺诈GPx的外国恐怖组织. With 200bhp under its bonnet and a just 1200kg to haul about, you?d expect it to feel extremely quick, which makes it all the more puzzling when it doesn?t.受其头盖及200bhp与公正地捡1200kg左右,你呢?丁期望它能感到非常快速,更令人费解的是,当它不惜一切?汤匙 You may find yourself checking the handbrake or trying to remember what grade of fuel the owner last filled up with.你可以找到自己或试图扼制handbrake记得上次老板级燃油填满. The figures look reasonable enough, with 60mph arriving in 7.3 seconds and a top speed the far side of 130mph, but there?s a genuine lack of drama in the way the FTO reaches them.数字看够合理、以60mph秒和3月7日到达最高时速移往130mph,但?收盘真正缺乏戏剧的方式达到他们的外国恐怖组织. Whether as a result of the benign front-wheel drive chassis, the near linear power delivery, the muted engine note or the supple suspension, it?s only when you check the speedometer or wonder why other road users have suddenly metamorphosed into pondering geriatrics that you realise that the FTO isn?t slow at all.不论是由于良性前轮驱动底盘、电力线附近的交付发动机的静或曳受注、?收盘时只检查您为什么速度还是其他道路使用者突然变质成老年琢磨你知道外国恐怖肖国?笔缓慢的. It just makes the business of driving quickly extremely fluid, taking much of the effort out of hustling it along, in effect massaging the driver?s confidence.只是让生意极为迅速驾驶流体同时大部分出制式一同努力,效果按摩司机?收盘信心.

With peak power reached at 7500 rpm, suspicions that the FTO is a screamer rather than a lugger are confirmed, although what is transmitted to the car?s interior is a muted yowl.同在7500年达到峰值功率的RPM、screamer是外国恐怖嫌疑,而不是一个铁罐证实,虽然是交给汽车?内政部是静yowl收盘. The five-speed manual box is a delight, but the INVECS-II five-speed automatic is a fascinating piece of equipment.五速手册信箱是喜悦,但invecsⅡ5速自动是一个令人神往的设备. You?ll feel it trying to second-guess you as you pull away, working out if you?re in the mood to hold a gear or lazily slop up early.你?当地感到揣摩你抠你走如果你工作?在心情重新举行齿轮或懒洋洋山坡早起. It recognises the difference between hills and flat roads, and should the driver so wish, a Tiptronic-style mode can be engaged whereby gears can be manually selected.它承认差别,丘陵单位的道路,而要司机自愿tiptronic一式模式,可以使齿轮可从事人工挑选. If the gearbox didn?t extract such a performance penalty (rest to 60 in 9.1 seconds) it would be a thing of wonderment.如果变速箱雾化?这种笔提取业绩罚款(1月9日休息60秒)这是一个事惊叹. Nonetheless, approximately 70% of all UK FTO models are fitted with it.尽管如此,英国约有70%的外国恐怖型号装有.

One big demerit on the FTO?s dynamic report card concerns the brakes.一对外国恐怖大缺点?收盘动态成绩单关切刹车. With 10.8-inch discs fitted to the GPX, braking performance is in the Nissan Micra league.同10.8-英寸光盘的GPx的安装、制动性能是在尼桑微米的联赛. One of the first modifications many FTO owners make is to fit grooved and drilled front discs to beef up stopping power.最早提出变通以适应许多外国恐怖主会场和钻井战线光碟加强停车权.

OVERALL  总体
As a cheap, modern coupe, the Mitsubishi FTO has few rivals.作为廉价、现代化采伐、外国恐怖主义三菱数对手. Unlike the first importers, you won?t be buying a whole lot of exclusivity as word has well and truly got out regarding the FTO?s qualities.不像第一进口商你赢了?笔会买了一大堆专有名词,也是作为真正摆脱对外国恐怖组织?收盘素质. As long as you?re aware of the difference between buying and running official UK cars and Japanese import models, then you shouldn?t come a cropper.只要你?重新认识差异及跑步官屋买进口车和100型号那么你不应当?笔栽跟头. Don?t think your low mileage import FTO is worth a lot more than you paid for it, because it?s definitely a buyer?s market, and there are no shortage of cheap FTOs washing round the system.鲍思?你想进口外国恐怖哩笔低很多值得你付出的多,因为它?收盘绝对买主?美国市场,也没有短缺,廉价的外国恐怖主义洗回合制. As such, you can afford to take your time, be picky and buy the best you see.所以,你可以慢慢来,买最好的挑来看看你. If the driving experience doesn?t put a smile on your face, the thought of what you could have bought with what you spent on your FTO certainly will.如果驾驶经验不惜?笔把你的微笑的脸,你能想到什么买什么,你用你的外国恐怖组织必将.
