Doing a special build for a customer overseas a Veilside Fortune widebody RX-7

[DTM Autobody]

We were commissioned to do this RX-7 for a customer. He wanted to basically have the tokyo drift rx-7 in all its glory.


The car assembled and prepped for fitment and paint

The car left our shop for a motor build after it was primered. a 20b 3 rotor turbo was dropped in.

Couldn't source the correct Veilside Andrew V wheels so we went to something similar with the F430 wheels by AG wheels.

Wow. I don't think i'd ever do that to an FD, but the work certainly looks amazing. And 20b swaps are always fun. Glad he's not putting a LSx into it. Nice!!

The fd hasn't really held its value compared the nsx/supra so doing something like this wouldn't have hurt the value to much.

True, but they are creeping up a little bit. Doing better than the poor 3000GT.

I don't have anything against LSx swapped RX7s. They can be pretty potent and reliable. My Uncle had RX7s when i was growing up though, so i've always had a thing for rotaries, for better or for worse.

I think the 3000gt has faired the worst among the late super cars. I think its just cause of the shitty reliability why the rx7 was the worst among the three.

Talked to rajeet he couldn't get me the correct offset and them in 19's. Rajeet was the one who worked on the ag wheels to get the right size's
