Tax Disc Holder
During a holiday visit, i saw something stuck to my cousins GT35, so i asked him what it was, he said its a tax disc holder / permit holder. I was really amazed, because the quality, the design was brilliant.
So i popped down to the local car styling parts shop and found them. They had them in every brand you can think of. I bought an ADVAN one, some Mitsubishi ones, a Honda one for a friend and a few others.
Great thing is, it requires no adhesive of anything, so it will surely not leave any residue over time. Its like a special laminate material that sticks to glass and can be used over and over again. Similar to screen protectors on phones

Tein Super Street Coilovers
JDMing Update:
At the same time of upgrading my brakes to GTO, i took the liberty of installing my new purchased 2nd hand Tein Super Street Coilovers.
Tein has been famous for their suspension worldwide, specifically designed for track use, yet some of their products are also a good combo, such as my Tein Super Streets, track or road use ^_^

GTO Brake Upgrade Conversion
JDMing Update:
One of the most essential mods i think for any car is the stopping power, the brakes. Even experts say if you are looking to upgrade your braking system, and it so happens your type of car has a regular model and a sports model, because all the components are more or less the same, its real easy to fit sports model brakes to your current model. In this essence for the FTO, it is very different though. Owning the GPX is already the top spec trim from Mitsubishi, so what other choices do we have for improving braking???well.....
Option 1: Purchase better branded/aftermarket parts
Also to compliment the front GTO brakes, i got matching brake discs for the rears. drilled and grooved ^_^. These will soon get a revamp though as i don't really like the colours.
Oh and yes my old drop links were worn, so i decided to change them for aftermarket whiteline flex ones ^_^.

Option 1: Purchase better branded/aftermarket parts
- brake discs
- brake pads
- brake calipers
- brake hoses
Common Choices for the FTO:
- EBC
- Mintex
- Ferodo
Option 2: Customised brake conversion (popular choices)
- GTO Big Brake Conversion.
- Wilwood Big Brake Conversion.
- Brembo Big Brake Conversion.
- AP Racing Big Brake Conversion
- Some have used Aston Martin Brake Calipers
For me it was the Mitsubishi GTO Big Brake Conversion.
