Thanks again everyone for the positive comments.

I did snap a pic of the completed sub box and amp rack, I need better lighting for the other interior shots.

I saw a fortune FD in London about a month ago. Was chasing it in my Slowfire for a bit. Was hard to miss. I think it was red and black or something like that. Looked great and screamed like a banshee. Nice work on that one.

He is on the forum, I've seen him at Cayuga before. No offense to him but this Fortune kit looks like it's put together way nicer than his. When you see that burgundy/black one up close there's a lot of imperfections - or at least there was last time I saw it.

Impressive work. Having done some much simpler projects and knowing how much work was involved, my mind boggles at the effort here.
(Now that's it's assembled, do that mean you'll have a few minutes for more iron now? :) )

^pm'ing you right now David!

love how well it came together.....awesome car.

Natural Sound is a decent place. They did the install in my FB about 15 years ago and I won several trophys at competitions for it.

RPM I am also in kitchener and need someone to do some work on my fb...in the spring time. I'll message you another time.

^ no problem Nick let me know anytime.

Very nice! you do great work, the car looks awesome!

binz 10-31-10 07:59 PM

nice work, especially the paint scheme and overall fitment. its not exactly what i would do, but it looks great (far better than the last fortune 7 i saw) and at least with all that show you have the motor/power to back up the eccentric looks.

you're sure to win some best-of-show awards :icon_tup:

Thanks guys

Forune Seven, is your FD on air ride too? Really liking the look of yours in your sig!

We should have it out to the Performance World show in March at the International Center if anyone is interested to take a look at it in person.

Hello,

I'm just curious as to the IC pipe routing. Why run it up and back down when using a FMIC?

Thanks! :icon_tup:

Rx_Sam 11-03-10 02:02 PM

fantastic project :)

jdm_cam 11-03-10 05:04 PM

sooooo nice

azx78er0 11-04-10 01:59 PM

i have to say after getting mine...the heat just really fucks it up...it kinda shrinks bends and stuff...had alot of problems with the acrulic head case... had to take it off... and theres alot of gapping on it.
tips: put it in a garage and dunt leave it out in the sun.
but its not bad...
oh and i love this one too... nice job.

Great looking car so far! Maybe I'll check it out next time I'm in Toronto or if you're in Ottawa.

It's an HKS air filter, going to the turbo inlet. The green is the foam filter element.

All that money in parts and work and a PFC :scratch:

It needs more... why? (not for the race track that it won't be racing on) :lol:

Why would a street FD use anything else? Some people just don't get it.

Well the kit came with the turbo clocked that direction (facing up) I believe it was designed for a V-mount kit. We installed everything and decided to looked a little weird with only one pipe running to the TB elbow. The two pipes gave it some symmetry.

Nothing wrong with a PFC, seems to work just fine!

Wow, that look's incredible. Just show's you how a quality build and color's can make the Fortune kit look awesome. People always do those bright two-tone colors on Fortunes and it makes them look crappy.

I hope you don't mind me using your colors for inspiration on my fortune build. At least we are in different countries. ;) I was thinking about going a little risky with satin black/grey but your's turned out so well I might have to reconsider!

Fantastic piece of work Joe, congrats!!

Wow, sick ride! Props to you!
