Veilside Fortune RX7 Build

Introduction

RX7's have always been a car of choice for me. I can remember when I was a kid going to the dealership with my parents.  They owned various Mazdas, not sure which one it was when the 3rd Generation RX7 came out, think it may have been a 626, in any case when I saw a red one sitting in the show room I was blown away. 

A cousin of mine had a first gen, so I was a little bit fimiliar with the rotary engine, and the lovely sound an RX7 makes as it chases down the red line. Standing in the dealership with wide eyes and mind racing, I had trouble imagining the level this car was on, the sexy yet dominant stance it portrayed conjured thoughts of destroying anything on the road. And as it turns out my daydream wasn't far off. 

This is my 2nd FD, On this build I wanted to really push the envelope, I really liked the direction Veilside brought the RX7 with the Fortune kit. To me it seemed like a way the design could have ventured from those early days.  An update to a killer machine. 

I love the lines of a stock RX7, you can't beat them, but this time around I wanted to do something new.  Thanks for checking out my build.
