hi im new here and was wondering if anyone here has put a fortune kit on an rx7??
well i was thinking of doing one ....just thought id ask too see if anyone on her had done one i take it by no reply there hasent bin one done......
have you done research on the kit?
The kit isnt cheap to buy and the labour involved getting it fitted and sprayed will be quite substantial.
Might be a bit low for our speed bump nation.
But it looks good and certainly unique.
yes mate 7k for the kit 3500 for the wheels 5k for fit and paint
7k for the kit ?
are you sure thats delievered to this country.
im quite sure the kit on its own is 7k.
if it is 7k delievered thats a good price.
when you planning on doing this :-)
not delivered mate thats from nemis......and it is a good price .....but ist still f in dear for a bodykit......
im on a driving ban for a year and a harf so im gonna do it in the next year.....i was gonna buy the blue veilside one that was pictured on her....but it was sold ....bummer
you must have a lot of money to burn then
would look forward to seeing that
there are many other nice wide kits for the rex that would cost a lot less
yes but u carnt tell me they look as good ..........that fortune kit is just the dogs........
Is the fortune one the one styled on a suit of armour? With the \'rivets\' along the panels?
Yep the one styled on a samurai suit of armour or to represent one. Good luck with the Fortune Kit project. Just a word of advice, if you crash it :WaveBye 20k bye bye!
well im ****ing myeself but u ever herd the saying u get what u pay for !!!!!!......ps its the best looking kit ive seen u let me no if there is a better looking one ok!!!!
Migel has 2 one he is keeping for his show car, dont know if he has sold the other?
I quite like the look of the Frtune kit not my fave but very close. But everyone will have there faves so you will never get all to agree with you.
Good luck with the project.
Piccys as you go along please.
im gonna get the pics done as its done ...look everyone im not here to rub any one up the wrong way .......i just love the fortune kit.......cheers for your possitive comments

No one is suggesting that, they just want you to know in case you have not researched as to how dear this kit is, Veilside and RE make top quality kits and it reflects in the price, I believe and will know soon that the RE GT kits can cost close to that and maybe more for the new kit GT500
Good luck with the project and keep them piccys coming.....

A bit hot tempered are we mr pigme1000000....
On nemesis site its 6495 +vat plus a £500 shipping fee. So you are looking at about 8k for the kit plus the other costs involved.
Lets be honest the only reason you saw the kit was in the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.
I agree it looks nice and definitely very individual but I can see peoples points that there are some nice widebody kits for the RX7 that are as nice but not as expensive.
Dont think anyone was being off with you its just that there are a lot of dreamers who come on here and start posting that they are gonna do this and this and this and disappear without a trace and dont even buy an RX7 !
Not sure I favour you getting insurance next year with a ban and trying to insure an RX7 costs in excess of 20k !!
sorry mate but the guys don me a deal of 7k all in!!!ps mate im not a little kid im 33 ....not 18 ...so it would be nice to talked to like a man not a kid cheers
Here\'s a better looking kit and it doesn\'t make n RX7 look like an over weight 300zx!!:D You\'ve got to be pushing plenty of horses under the bonnet to warrant having the fortune kit!! No point having a car looking like that with no power increase! A standard FD could kick your a$re!!!:evillaugh
And mogles made a good point about your insurance costs! No ones talking to you like a child,and there\'s no point taking offense to a couple of comments!! You could of helped yourself a little with a lengthier first post,explaining a little about yourself and your interest in rex\'s and your future plans. Remember there\'s alot of knowledgable people on this site,no point getting off to a bad start!!:)
so your planning on spending 15k just to get the kit on and sprayed, but what about the car? thats going to cost around 7-8 for a good example
in addition the weight the wheels and the kit will have will slow your car down considerably, you will need 12 j plus rims for that.
you planning on this just being a show car or a car that can burn too ? cos thats more money to the pockets
would be amazing to see one but theres a reason why nobody has as far as i can see ...
im not taking offence.......or trying to be a pain,just wanted sume advice...
Quote from: pigme1000000im not taking offence.......or trying to be a pain,just wanted sume advice...
Then please explain exactly what you need to know then maybe we can help. Still think the GT kit is better looking!!!:Tongue1
all i wanted to no was ...has anyone on here done one and what sort of problems did they run in to .......ive seen the black and yellow one now!!!
is this a re-A kit? how much would this cost?
just messing about in photoshop wanna see what the best colour skeem will be

i do think one colour looks best!!!
I think that at some point or other each of us has dreamed about having the money to be able to do something as wild as this, so if you have the money, time and effort then good for you. I hope you can pull it off, as i for one would love to see one of these cars at a major UK show :D
Think the blue and white combo looks great, but then the all black looks quite mean too.
Have you got yourself a car to begin with?

Black and Grey. Looks excellent. Try it with very dark blue and very dark blue with a hint of violet/UV... that\'d look the mutts.
no mate im looking for a doner car in the next month or 2.....ive got lots of time so im in no rush...............
Red n black looks smart! :Thumbsup! As far as i know no one in the uk has done one yet,but then again i might be wrong. Were a few Fortune build threads on the american sites last year. Couple of threads on this site linked straight to them.

it looks nice but it completely disguises the shape of an rx7 the only think that shows it isnt a s13 under it is the roof, as that stays uncovered. so for that reason i think it takes alot away from the already beautiful rex, i am not one of the standard is the best people, but a nice bumpers sideskirts and rear spats is way better in my view
Hi pigme1000000,
What an amazing looking kit !!! I hope it all works out for you and i cant wait to see your pics
Cheers Garith.
Black and Grey in my opinion !!!!
Erm doner car

I kinda like it in the blue and white!...very different.....but cool!
TBH, i prefer the URAS or RE gt kit tho.
Why not get one from Miguel(Newera), With the kit and everything on. As said earlier he probably has an extra one if he is just keeping one.. And it would be far cheaper to get it with everything already on, And you would have a Fatf car.. Not that I would like my car more if I had one.. But would generate more money if you decide to sell it later..
thanx for the comments guys ....what sort of money do rx7 engines go for ?
Quote from: pigme1000000thanx for the comments guys ....what sort of money do rx7 engines go for ?
Twin twin or a modded single? Totally depends on spec,condition,blown,high mileage or re-built. Anything from £1000 to £10000.
depends on what you are looking for mild to wild.
Anywhere from £2k up to £6-8k
Interestingly, a friend who owns a bodyshop is about to fit one of these.
He also said, that apparently if you use the car to advertise your business after fitting the fortune kit, that Universal Studios/Veilside will try to sue you for something or other? Surely that can\'t be true?
Cant see that would ever stand up, if they dont want any other name on the car, they should either not sell the kit or supply it on condition that the graphics come with the kit and must be used.
