Who's down for FREE coilovers!? No really, it's not a gimmik, I promise.

Well, after 2 years in the US market Fortune Auto is finally a Zilvia.net sponsor! This is something I know I have been looking forward to for a long time now. Having been an S-Chassis nut for ~8 years now, this was the site I've wanted to be on from the get go!

To kick off our new sponsorship here we are GIVING AWAY (as in free... yes free coilovers!) a set of our 500 series coilovers.

Here is how the contest works:

1)Post a few pics of your car in this thread. Please include action shots (videos are cool too!)
2)We will hand select 10 members from Zilvia, from this thread, and we will post the finalist on our website.
3)All Zilvians will be given the chance to vote for the winner from the selected 10.

*Must be an active and upstanding member of the Zilvia community, we appreciate everything Zilvia does for the community and want to reward a “good citizen” haha of Zilvia.

Cars/owners submitted will be judged and hand picked by our staff based on the following qualifications:
-Exterior mods (must be clean!)
-Drivers ability to attend drift/time attack/track day events (basically we want someone active in motorsport events)
-Car chosen will be featured on our website and used in media coverage for Fortune Auto.
-Winner will need to write an unbiased review of the received coilovers for Zilvia. We want to show you guys our coilovers are everything we say they are. What better way than a trusted member testing them for you?


DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 30TH 2009










These are the same coilovers that have been used on our time attack car.
We wanted to use our off the shelf 500 series coilovers to show that you can actually be competitive on them and that they will take a beating!!



These are also the same coilovers that we used to slam these cars without sacrificing ride comfort



To learn more about our coilovers check out our website: Fortune Auto USA. Home of 50mm Performance Coilovers, Titanium Shift Knobs & Titanium Lug nuts - Home

Also, Stay tuned in the Advertisers Section for our Coilover and Shift knob/Lug Nut threads if you're too impatient for the contest to end

It's not low or stiff and it wants to be.



All dirty with the coolest sun blockers you will ever find.



If I didn't have to spend money in the coilover region in the next couple weeks, I could push over that money into the wheels fund putting me into position for some legit wheels. Plus, if you do feel your product is that great you'd be helping someone not have to give himself up to the clutches of Megan Racing products.

I'm currently doing a full overhaul on this car to get it on the track and keep it as reliable as possible. Aero will be on before it sees the track.

Just had an S14 KA swapped in with various aftermarket goodies.



I have a Katana shift knob, and I'll give it to you.




I'm awesome, you're awesome, lets be awesome together. Rest assured I have no qualms about writing an unbiased report and being an asshole if your product isn't up to snuff.

I'm just trying to get this thing looking good, driving good, and to hit the ground running on the track scene. This would be a big help.

Just wanted to throw out a quick vouch for these coilovers. I've been running them for a little over a year now. I had Megan's before these and man, what a difference. I've got them set quite stiff right now, but when you soften them up, they ride great! Build quality seems to be great, packaging for shipment was outstanding, no way they were getting hurt during shipping, that's for sure. Can't believe they're actually gonna give a set away! Holy shit... lol. Somebody's gonna get lucky for sure!

I snapped a pic of when I installed them, please excuse the rusty rotor. It was raining the day before, when I pulled the car into the shop... lol



Here's a couple more pics too, just for shiggles... lol

Here's some shots of my car. I can be found on Team Mulsanne, Violent Running Tribe, and 626 Drift. I attend at least 1 drift event each month. Right now I'm running JIC FLT-A2's, but one of them is blown so I've been looking for new coilovers. =)

Pictures before paint...





Some action shots...





Here's some video of myself and Team Mulsanne...

I would post my car, but seeing how lots of people have on track pics and swaps kinda intimidates me.
All I really have is a clean and expensive daily driver type car...haha
I do attend/participate in lots of car shows and events tho.
