2011 Fortune Auto Open House & Facility Tour Pics

Fortune Auto was gracious enough to open their doors to the public on October 2nd

About 100 cars showed up of all makes and models. As some of you know we work very closely with Fortune Auto with our time attack / racing endeavors and we also are a pretty large dealer for them.

Despite all that I have never been to Fortune Auto so it was pretty interesting to see!

First some pics of some of the cars....You can view more here:













Also some pics of their facility. Most people do not know that they build mostly everything in house. It was pretty interesting to see it all! I went down the day before and got these pics









Some of their road racing trophies!



SALES, TECH SUPPORT AND WHOLESALE Dept



PISTON ASSEMBLY / REBUILD & SHOCK DYNO STATION





Parts awaiting assembly



Assembly Station



Assembly and dynoing of shocks











Some pics of the workshop

Yes Fortune Auto does not machine or fabricate the parts at their USA facility.

And to answer your question, yes they do everything in house

Looks like all they do is assembly and sales in house? Is that incorrect?

Fortune Auto North America is the USA distributor of FA suspension. Yes they assemble, test, prototype and distribute their suspension products. They are in fact the only suspension company in the USA that does all this selling a shock in the $1000 range.

All other companies in this price range just import coilovers and ship it out to their distributors. No custom rates, valving, assembly or rebuild capabilities
