Welcome! I'll move the thread into the new member technical section. My opinion on the matter is that it would be a ton of work and you would be better off starting with something newer such as an RX-8

All the work aside, sounds like putting a $20,000 saddle on a $2000 horse.

It might even be cheaper to buy the concept car itself

An FD Or RX8 would be a better starting platform.

my FD is some where along the journey to being an RX9 and trust me, I have spent a shitload so far

It would be a massive investment of time and money to do it right and u would still have an old FB under all the fancy bodywork, but go for it lol
