To be fair, as lads who grew up watching Fast and Furious and Pimp My Ride. we knew about it, saw a few modified cars out and about, but on the whole the general consensus between me and my mates was that they were all a bit naff. I don’t any of the Max Power era cars have aged very well at all.

6:35 That small red button, the car shutting off, and the "eeeeeeeeeeeee" noise make me belive that button is for the flame kit. A lot of modern day flame kits just shut off the power to the engines coilpacks, and route it to the coil for the spark plug in the exhaust. If you want, try revving the car, and holding WOT, and pressing the button. If everything works, the injectors should still pulse fuel into the cylinders, the spark plug in the engine wont do anything, and the raw fuel+air will get ignited as it exits the exhaust.
@GaryTan99
20 күн бұрын
Exactly as stated, had a “dragons breathe” flamer kit on my GSi back in the early 00’s and the button kills the coils for the engine and starts the coil for the exhaust. Rev the engine up, press and hold the button whilst keeping WOT and then release the button before the engine stalls 👍🏻

I’m a little older than you two but am still of the Max Power generation. For me this is the best car you have bought yet, please get it back to its former glory. 👍
The best part for me was the last 15 seconds of the video. I've worked on and build a fair share of ICE and Hi-Fi systems in the past. So it was really satisfying to see the screens in working order. Looking forvard to more content with your FTO
Oh my god. Lee Martins Saxo!! That brings back HUGE memories!!! That car is simply iconic and like you said for guys our age (I’m 39) max power is THE car generation!! Cannot wait to see more of this!!
My silver PS2 still gets used to this day - bought new in 2003, amazing bit of kit! Remember this car from back in the day 😎

18:34 juiced 2 was very good, I remember a specific achievement that was very difficult, something like 5 million points or other absurd amount of uninterrupted drift points that you needed to do. I remember the day I got it, I couldn't even celebrate it out loud because it was very late and I was playing in secret, with the TV on mute hahaha
After mentioning wanting to see max power cars to you at shedfest I'm so happy to see you've done it! Great job.

Loving the content gents - can’t get enough of it. The FTO is a top tier entertainment and brings back a lot of good memories of a past era. Keep the vids coming. 🍻🍻
Best .. Car.. Ever.. straight out of underground 2. Just love the 2000s vibes that it gives off
I remember this car back in the mid 2000s, I owned an FTO myself and remember most people in the owners club absolutely hated this thing, hats off to the original owner for trying something different, must have cost an absolute fortune back then as modifying them was either figure it out yourself using parts for other cars or import parts from Japan and incur huge shipping costs
I'm just a bit younger than you guys and the only thing I know these kinds of cars from are the old f&f movies. I'm so sad I missed out on those days, so it's awesome to see you get exited about it
Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying this channel lads thank you for making it. I look forward to your videos and save them to sit an enjoy with brew after work.
The boot reveal, I was just expecting to see tina's lifeless corpse.
You gotta sell those DVDs as merch.
Really looking forward to seeing more of this awesome time machine ! I really like the max power era, since it expressed the freedom to do whatever you want/can with your car. Even if not all of those cars were looking good or to be taken serious ... all of them were the opposite of boring or standard and they still bring people together.
Great video, as an FTO owner for 20 years and being in my late teens / early 20s during the max power / fast car era this brings back lots of memories.
I love TINA!!! Tina to get it on with the FTO Reunion and you'll get to 10 million subscribers!!!
love the hidden bottle in the top left xD 12:18
These a such a fun little car when they're not rusted through and full of electronics and wiring they don't need (at least, not for the show business). It's sad that I knew the engine was untouched just from the startup xD. This is such a childhood hit from the early 2000s, and games like Juiced (The OG one anyway) really helped with keeping these things cool. I own one now a GPX COTY, it's mint. Very cool to see this one
Man, FTO’s are the bomb!! They looked great, sounded great, handled great… just didn’t perform great! If these came awd and had an evo 2.0T engine they would’ve been amazing! Also, these were so damn expensive to insure… it was cheaper to insure for me with a clean record than a TT supra auto that I ended up getting. Parts for the FTO were hard to come by. Do this car justice, try something wild if you can. Subbed for this beauty!
My mum and stepdad used to have a red FTO when I was younger. It was the V6 with Mivec and it went pretty well at the time. 197bhp wasn't bad back then. Always had a soft spot for them.
Bring back this era of the UK car scene!
Maaan i loved Max Power builds, used to read the mag in the mid 90s. Cracking video, the FTO deserves all the love you can give her
Best video yet! I had a GTO back in the day, fond memories of these kinds of cars.
Asking for a friend, where can I obtain a digital copy of that DVD you were ewing and ahing over? Again, for a friend
I love how Rory came running when it got "much worse"
Oh my god, this car is a relic of the mid 2000's, it's glorious. You guys should 100% restore it as at least a show car...and rip that DVD to internet archive!
I’ve owned over 50 cars and the FTO was by far my favourite. Mine was a limited edition and mapped. V6 Mivec was a beast (until it blew up). 😂
I rarely see any Mitsubishi cars on UK roads anymore! ♦️
10:56 - Loving the Red Dwarf sticker at the back next the exhaust flames. Admiral Ace Rimmer would be proud. Good video - Keep up the good work, full respect from the North East
This is incredible. The most early noughties thing I've ever seen. Reminds me of buying a 300ZX TT back in 2005 and then realising I could barely afford to run it, never mind modify it (although I would be the first to admit I had aspirations to go full NFSU with it). Fun times. Also, great choice of games, gentlemen: great choice.
“Smoke me a kipper…..” I heard that quote on Red Dwarf (favorite British comedy)
18:33 JUICED MENTIONED!!!!
My high school English teacher imported one of these and drove it to school every day and I thought she was the coolest woman in the world for that. Gran Turismo 2 Taeivon Trampio feelings.
i remember this car attending cruise west cumbria meets about 15 or so years ago , cool to see its still around despite the looks of it these days 🤣
If anything, I would at least send it out to get polished/cleaned up as best as it can. For the most part the interior doesn’t seem to be too terrible either, but the whole car needs to be disinfected. As a precaution. Color-matching would be infeasible in so many different ways, but maybe new door handles?
I remember so many Max Power magazines and even a "how to" book for modifying your car back when I was a wee lad 🤣 I used to think that having massive exhausts (or multiple of them) was the coolest thing ever.

I know it's a long shot, but you should do a proper Juiced tribute to this car (yes, I said juiced because this car was actually in the game, ulike nfs or midnight club). What I mean by tribute. A proper tuneup (a cheap ebay turbo or SC), nos, the works. You already got the Nos, and the "proper" cosmetic modifications in place.
OK...Freddy would be proud of you ... 😉
Wish I’d been born 10 years earlier I would’ve been all over the max power scene, love how every car was different and the passion that went into making them. The magazine is great from what I’ve seen nothing else today comes close, probably an era in car mods that will never be seen again…
I used to have a flame kit back in the 2000’s and as far as I remember it didn’t have external gas or anything like that, you just cut the power from engine coils and instead turn on the exhaust coil, the air-fuel mixture was ignited on the exhaust and kaboom you had flames
