Fortune Auto North America

Fortune Auto is proud to introduce our new demo vehicle! This car is owned by the VP of Fortune Auto, Jen Jar. 

It has been a long hard road to get the car where its currently at...2 years to be exact. Several man hours, several shops that had no idea what the heck they were doing and several thousands of dollars later. In the end was it all worth it? After looking at this beauty we sure do think so! There has been a lot of drama surrounding this car since its inception. Several shops and companies that make "kits" for this swap had no business being in business, honestly. We will not name names, but it's been a long rocky road.

Finally we had to take matters in our own hands and set things straight. FAST (Fortune Auto Service and Tuning) has just opened up its doors this year and Matt Purvis had to go back and fix many many mistakes. Once the car was ready to start over we realized the wiring harness that was included with the swap "kit" was also a sham. So we enlisted the professional services of Ben Freed of FREED Engineering. Ben wired the car up and tied up all the loose ends. Ben finally got the engine roaring to life!

Once the meat and potatoes where taken care of, Jen focused on aesthetics. Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers where installed. The interior was then restored. A Nardi deep corn wheel, custom suede seats, Fortune titanium shift knob and turbosmart gauges were carefully installed by Matt at FAST. Lastly the original paint was buffed and shined to perfection. JDM tail lights, FEED side skirts, CATZ turn signals and 99 spec front lip was fitted. Dan over at CCW was kind enough to send over sample wheels and tires to nail the fitment and style spot on. Once the details of the wheels and tires were ironed out CCW made a set of custom LM20 wheels in brushed gold with polished lips. The wheel and tire sizes are a beefy 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 out back. Tires are 245 width up front and 285 out rear. 

When its all said and done Fortune Auto is very happy with its new demo car....as you can imagine Jen is even happier!
