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?
fduk.

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??

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

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.

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 :)

Quote from: jamie_supralol - 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!!
