TCP Magic / ISS Forged / Umbrella Auto Design SEMA Build 2013

Whats up everyone!

Well we're starting a new buiild for SEMA 2013 over here at ISS Forged Miami.

Just to give you guys some background.

We're working in conjunction with TCP Magic from Japan, and Umbrella Auto Design (with more sponsors jumping on board down the road).


The build will be an exhibition of new parts for the FD chassis as well as the release of our new wheel line at SEMA this year.


So far we've been getting in parts and everything is looking quite good

-Complete TCP Magic Widebody kit
- R-Magic Coilovers customized to by Umbrella Auto Design
-Wheels from ISS Forged ML24 series

I'll be posting regularly for you guys to follow the build to SEMA.
More Pics than anything else!

Enjoy!!

So first things first:
We got in the TCP Magic Widebody kit from Japan and threw it on one of our parts cars to see how the lines of kit and everything match up

i have to say this is BY FAR!! the best quality kit i've ever dealt with.
It is FRP, but everything is pre-drilled...all the mounting holes for the body, everything lines up perfectly, the canards and front fender vents all bolt into threaded inserts that are mounted into the body parts already
and the rear widebody section has a male/female alignment section so that the rear widebody section mounts perfectly with the side skirts


This kit is 100% functional and wind tunnel designed and engineered by TCP Magic in Japan
heres the kit check it out!

This car will be far from a show car after its done with it's year tour

it will have a show interior built into for the time being...
but once the show tour is done, this is the owners personal road course/time attack car

Thats another reason we went for this kit...its wind tunnel designed and test
fully functional is what we're going for on this build

this is looking great. final product is gonna be awesome. is your shop going to start carrying these kits and other products from TCP Magic?

I was reading on speedhunters not too long ago and in one of the posts there was this FD pictured:

I don't remember the manufacturer of the kit being mentioned. it had me wondering so I saved the pic so I could check it out later. I really like the louvers on the fenders tho. the whole kit looks amazing on that blue car pictured above. just not sure about the top part of the fender becoming so sharp. I would like the kit if you are going to carry it. I can always use a different upper fender if I changed my mind. if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost? if you aren't going to carry the kits, can you give me the ordering info for it please? feel free to pm me if needed.

Nice, that fender is a little too much, but I like the rest of the kit.

Looking for forward to other updates

This car was one of three FD's at SEMA this year, and came out great!

The other two were my white car and one of my good customers' brown car... was good seeing some more RX7 love this year!
