Just wanted to know if there are any fortune kitted RX7s on the site?
any issues with fitting the kit?
I am currently building one.
Car is currently a rather battered FD in green - it wernt worth buying a mint one as every pannel is going to be replaced / covered except the roof - ( its going to be gloss black and pearl white).Engine is good - has been rebuilt 4000miles ago and only has 40000 on the clock anyway. chassis is straight under the body.It has a T60 single conversion, 4" straight through de - cat\'d exhaust, apexi power fc + commander, blitz boost controller and turbo timer, HKS front mount with custom hard pipes, Tien adjustables all round, Interior has racing bucket seats in cream and black leather and cream dash. also had a roll cage fitted.
Kit is payed for and on the way direct from veilside.
also got some I forge 3 peice split rims on the way 19" by 12".

Looks like a Big project has broken out :)
I think Newera where selling some already built? //www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31029
yeah - seen a few but they are way over priced. also got offered veilsides bentley blue one from japan for £16k but with shipping and VAT and duty it was more like 23k!!. also i was worried as to the condition of them. were there scuffs? damaged wheels? i even saw one pic with a space saver on!!.
also i wanted a car to my spec. plus i wanted a single turbo one with a few toys!!
obviously i will have a few bits and pieces to sell.
if anyone knows of some in need of
front wings
fibreglass vented bonnet (real good quality)
front bumper (little scuffed etc)
back bumper
electric mirrors
stock alloys in MINT condition with good tyres
rear dump bins unit(as opposed to back seats)
then put them onto me!
danniboi4u@hotmail.co.uk (danniboi4u@hotmail.co.uk)
now those are some serious seats!
good luck ith the project keep us updated.

lol - cheers m8. amazingly they are real comfortable (which amazed me)
gona need all the luck i can get. cant get hold of anyone who has built one yet. and veilside are taking ages to make the kit. payed for it 5 weeks ago and it still isnt finished!!
What type of seats are they?
corbeau revolutions - but immitations
expensive business this fortune malarke esp wheels, mrs must really love you :rollin
good choice of colours too mate :)
was having those seats made expensive?
well it would have been. but i got the base car at a bargain price. seats were £300 (good old ebay)
the kit is very expensive in the UK. but with the dollar being worthless i have got the wheels ( hand made 19" by 12" offset -34 on the rear and 19" by 9 inch on the front offset -6) and the kit inc shipping for £7200!!! obviously there would be duty but its being sent over as \'gift\'

Looks like it\'s going to be an awesome car once it\'s done.....
Quick question though, why are the pods in the exterior pic of the car black and then on the interior shot cream coloured? :xconfused
Why do people stick up their plans for evading Customs on the net?? Are people that naive to think that HMCE don\'t crawl sits like this to see whats going down?
Hello mate, I\'m on the lookout for some standard alloys but need them this week really?

Looking forward to seeing this project come along.There is no way your gonna get all that sent over as a gift. What if it goes missing? Your gonna loose a lot of cash right there
Whos going to fit the kit as ive seen the supra you used to own :eek:

lol - had them re - trimmed. the car is changing by the day. one pic was a bit older than the other
Quote from: deanflowersWhos going to fit the kit as ive seen the supra you used to own :eek:
lol - supra was fitted by a mate. this is being done by clays in milton keynes!
supra had issues that it was totally carbon fibre so it wasnt possible to fill over and paint imperfections / cracks. or gaps for that matter. also i had lambos which didnt really fit - again the only way was to move the front wings forward.
but dont worry - this is having a propper bodyshop do it.
saying that... was the supra that bad? it sold for £18500 and now its up for sale (NEW OWNER) FOR £21995!!

had quite a bit sent by companies in the past. saying that - its my risk i spose.
The supra wasnt to my taste, carbon is hard to work with though your right.
Clays have a good reputation though so you should be in safe hands.
Sounds like this will be a better finished car i know you took a lot of stick on the supra site with the last one. You seem to be doing it right anyway with a decent width of rim etc etc.
As long as your happy with the final result though you shouldnt really care what other people think.
What colour comination you going for, are you going for a two colour style that most go for with this kit? There are some photoshopped combinations on this site somewhere if you were looking for inspiration.

yeah - but i didnt get on with the supra site..... and it was a few vocal individuals. I accept the issue the supra had with the width but i tried to have some made (14" by19") and it was £2000 per wheel !! thats why spacers went on it.
i want this to be perfect though and i got a good deal on the wheels!!
Colour scheme.... didnt want anything too \'in ya face\' so rather than the bright orange or yellow colour schemes i have decided on a two tone.... back and pearl white. that shoul;d go nicely with the interior scheme.
lol - i found the pics you refered to. they were photoshopped by my m8 adam for me! i also see that pigme boy has been on here. He came on street-legal several months ago saying he was building one of these. ( he doesnt even have a licence lol) and guess what.... still no fortune kit and no rx7.
there are a couple of guys on RX7club.com who have done this kit... might be worth looking at their threads as some have full write ups and pictures...
I\'m glad you mentioned you are having 12" wide on the back and 9" wide on the front, for a second I thought you were having 12" inch all round!!
Best of luck with this, it should be a hell of a car when it\'s finished, looks like you have plenty of dosh to see it through, you should think about a 20b once youve got the body sorted....

Just make sure you put the sideskirts on properly and blend them.
I have seen some with big g a p s.
i knew it was you with that supra but didnt want to guess (im on the supra forums)
please dont take this the wrong way as its not a dig but that supra was the absolute most badly modified jap car i have ever come across in my entire life. I am glad you are taking a different route with this one as your "mate" needed shooting rather than paying for the supra job.
i was tempted to tell you at each of the events i saw you/the car at but not in a stupid having a go way just wanted to know how the bodykit managed to end up being fitted that wrong.
But as has been said eye of the beholder an all that plus you got a very good price for it at the end of the day.
if you get this one done properly it should look absolutely fantastic plus under it all its a damn good car too.
anyway this sounds worse than its meant i just had the feeling all the tme you had the supra that way that you had been ripped off by a bodyshop and would never sell it but i think you did ok in the end.
btw what made you choose the rx7 & the fortune kit?
is that the supra covered in silver cloth? any pics? im sure i seen it on driftworks? must admit thats the worst car iv ever seen.. soz..
My old car!!!!!
Like what you\'ve done with the interior! What else have you done the the engine since you got it Jamie? Other than a sh1t load of blue hosing and heat wraps??
Here\'s how she used to look...

lol - seen better days m8. looks nothing like how it did when you had it! i bought it as a right mess- but then that what i wanted as no point changing every pannel of a mint motor. think someone had been drifting it before me.
would like to chat to you about the car as there is loads of stuff on it - none of which the previous owner knows about!.
email me if ya can danniboi4u@hotmail.co.uk (danniboi4u@hotmail.co.uk)

some people dont like the supra but an aweful lot do!!! i agree that the gaps ent ideal but as i said earlier there was no way to remove them. as every pannel is covered or replaced with silver weave carbon its not like its possible to just filler it!!.
In the end though i made a lot of ££ on that car - which is normally unheard of on modded cars.the kit was only £2k and all the fitting and spraying etc was £1k total!
anyway enough of the carbon supra.
as for what made me choose an RX. well i owned one in the past and loved it (except the reliabiltiy). saw the fortune car on tokyo drift and fell in love! after the supra i had an EVO VIII FQ330 - and it just wasnt me.... so decided to build a fortune RX of my own.
comp isnt letting me edit. but the following has sold....
bonnet
wheels
wings
Just got to say well done for standing up and giving the Fortune project a go matey!
I was a big fan of the Supra, and i\'m sure the Fortune will give the scene another kick up the arse!
Dont forget to show her with MRC when built :)

Wrong, wrong wrong, but LOL :spank
lol - that jacket does actually look real similar!!
Our site advertises the Kit at £6500 There are as far as I know 2 others being built.
Good luck, neat project
Good luck with the project mate! Can\'t wait to see it finished!
Do you still have the rear bins you mentioned you would be selling?
If so i\'m very interested in them.
Quote from: AtomicRexWhy do people stick up their plans for evading Customs on the net?? Are people that naive to think that HMCE don\'t crawl sits like this to see whats going down?
agreed.... especially when you can get the kit for 7.5 all in from nemesis anyway
I\'m looking forward to seeing this car at one of the show - i\'m in love with Newera\'s Rx\'s!!
kit will be here in 3 weeks. just had it confirmed by veilside
should i bring this up?
Digging through the archives of barryboys .co.uk i found this -sorry!
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=25828
If its any consolation i have appeared on there to a few years ago,Anyway you have now mended your ways and got a proper car.
Oh god.. please dont ruin the rx like you did the supra :rolleyes:
by the way the guys on Mkiv say hi!!
hows ya build getting on?
Here\'s some inspiration for you.. These are pictures of the actual main film car, complete with TO4Z, Nitrous, etc. It\'s not for sale. It\'ll be going to a specialist collector in Australia. These aren\'t the professional quality pics, only those I took with my own camera. Shortly, there will be features appearing in mags of this car.
The girl who modelled for us is Hiromi, the leading D1 Racequeen in Japan.
Still got one other one of these Fortune FD\'s. Not sure if we\'ll sell it or keep it though! :D :Santa
Enjoy!
