93' FD Feed Version V. Conversion
I'm new to rotaries, and helping my cousin with his build. The fortune kit was taken into consideration, but we liked the body lines of this kit better. The car was purchased 4 months ago with a little more than 75,000 miles, in nearly stock form. Almost hurt to rip the car apart. The cars interior was just gutted last tuesday to weld in a cage with gussets. Then the car will heading into the body shop.

fiberglass must have costed more than the car.
|
It was pricey. The car is a pretty big project with a few sponsors. Hoping to hear back from a big one soon.
|
heres a couple more pics. next to my dc2
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...221_145726.jpg Has black interior instead of red http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...308_005915.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...308_013658.jpg |
Does that kit come with the headlamps too like the Fortune?
|
Are you wanting to sell your 99 spec bumper?
|
This is gonna be cool. Love that kit
|
Aureka- Yes the kit came with all HPF lighting. Very nice quality kit.
@mazdaspeedDan- I'm not sure what I'm doing with the bumper yet. you weren't the first to ask me about it. If I do decide to sell it. It will be with lights and lip too. @ carolinacat_ thanks man I'm going to pull the motor next week, and get it ready to have the car completely sprayed inside and out. Engine work will be put on hold, considering we don't have the motor yet. Its going to be N/A also. The plan is to start suspension after the body work. Will update soon! |
I LOVE this think. So jealous. Keep us updated.
|
yes definitely keep many pics coming...i think this will be the first Afflux in the US if i'm not mistaken
very exciting!! |
Send parts to shine so he can make a copy. :-)
|
Nooo!! I wanted to be the first to install this kit when i won the goddamn lotto.
|
Look forward to seeing the build progress. Do you have pictures of the cage?

WoW!
|
cant wait to see this turn out
|
Thanks for the positive comments
I think this is the first in the states as well. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...6/IMG_4533.jpg As for having a replica made, sorry guys. It was pretty expensive kit, and don't need to risk any damage to it (with shipping the pallet with four over sized boxes out). it is going to be in the body shop in a week as well. I'll try to post up pics of the roll cage soon. I have a former FullRace guy doing the welding so it should look and feel nice. |
Wow, I don't know what makes me jealous the most, all those fiberglass goodies or the nice 4 car garage haha.
Definitely post up more picture as it goes. |
Awesome! subscribed!
|
4 car garage? haha, I wish. Its the fisheye on the camera that makes it look that way. Quick update the cage is almost done. It still needs all the gussets put in. Should be done by this weekend. here is a few pics.
