so basically turning it into a kit car right?

[OnTop]

yeah the standard was to redesign the car and upgrade everything to the limits

[TLontheDL]

I don't think you were being serious but I will put a pic up just because they did do a fantastic job on those cars.

I was serious but I wasn't sure which year/model but I had that one in mind. Basically I wanted to see a pic so I can compare the before and after b/c the after is nothing like the before...nothing. :-[

[Gao Jian]

I think they did a wonderful job, a customer of ours was lookin into that kit a while back, he gave up hope when the price tag was 12g's before shipping!!!!

[V8_Aristo]

Yup, kit car.

[shawnthemonster]

the veilside fortune rx7 is so nice.

[mdenoga]

the tamon design rx7's front reminds me of a carrera gt. the fortune kit is definitely nice. 12gs :idiot2:

[VIPete]

Kit cars.. old school :D

I like both, I think i fell in love with the Tamon car when I saw the body kit on a custom 4 rotor with a carbonfiber crazy manifold... as far as the $12,000.00 i could think of a lot of other things I would do to and RX7 before I made it look like that.

When I saw New Edge styling I thought it was gonna be Ford's new styling formula in 2000 for the new Mustang* ;D

[swifty949]

They call it complete car tuning. For VeilSide it started with the evolution combat supra (inspiration was george barris) (done in 1996)* http://www.tenzor.cz/zikurat/Cars/Toyota_Supra_Gullwing_7th_Edition_1_1997.jpg
it later evolved into the 7th Anniversery Supra, redone for the 1997 tokyo auto salon
http://www.paul.salsbury.btinternet.co.uk/Pictures/Toyota.jpg. The 99 Fortune Supra is pushing 1000hp, twin turbo, semi sequential tranny, fuel cell in the back (no big stupid speakers) The goal was to push the car to the highest level of tuning. Think of Clark Kent:Superman* * It was recently pushed again by Daijiro Inada, former big cheese at Options where his prediction would be total super sports car tuning. For Japan there have been no new high end sports cars like how the 7, and supra were seen for many years. He was thinking that the tuners would take the slack for the lack of new sports cars by remodeling older sports cars. Dai-San was so big time there, that when he spoke, everyone listened.

I don't know what you're talking about but it sounds like the Fortune NSX I posted.

[ebruce2]

I have to admit, it's a very original eye-catching style, but I dont like what they do to the body lines of the Supra. It's like putting too much make up on Halle Berry or something.

[DXJP]

Damn where have I seen that before.

http://www.shift-lock.net/upload/fortunensx2.jpg

well the NSX kit is 30g instaled here in japan. That doesent includ the wheels or muffler.

The fortune FD is about the same but its a lot of work. Fortunatly I helped build both cars for the TAS. So I can knock about 5g off of instalation. The NSX kit is way easier to assemble than the FD becouse all the pannles on the NSX bolt on. The FD requires some heavy modification on the rear.

None of the headlights on either are off of anything. They are molded for that body style and laid up in carbon. The projecters and everything are all hand assembled.
