My own car...with some work....
Basically a 1985 GS, bone stock body with rear and side louvers. Dark green paint, stock mags (the "+" wheels). Refurbished fuel injected 13b turbo peripheral port, 4 wheel disc brakes, lsd, rack and pinion steering, removed rats nest, dual exhaust?

Also, looks like you have spacers between your flywheel and pressure plate??

Jeff20B 07-22-07 03:20 PM

The Cosmo sleeves can be replaced with T2 sleeves. I'll do that when I rebuild it.

The pressure plate spacers are necessary on the aftermarket flywheels because they were designed to be universal for 215mm and 225mm clutches. Mazda added a step in the later 225mm pressure plates to make them incompatible with the earlier 215mm flywheels. The work around is those spacers and longer bolts as the actual bolt pattern is the same.

That pictured above is a stock duty set. It didn't grab hard enough for me. I've since installed the disc and pressure plate in my Cosmo. I do have a 215mm RB pressure plate and stock disc kicking around, which I'll use instead. It's smaller, but grabs harder. I need something for test running the engine in the car. Then when it's rebuild time, I'll look into something stronger.

Thanks for the education. How long before you get that baby installed and running? We need a full write-up, with subjective evaluations, pictures, and some audio. I've never heard a 3-rotor :). That'll give the rest of us some vicarious thrills. If you need help with anything, just ask. I have some original 13B-RE parts kicking around, and I've spent enough time on mine that I might be able to help with something.

Jeff20B 07-22-07 05:08 PM

I need one or two T2 sleeves. Not right now, but I will come rebuild time.

A 3 Rotor is the most beautiful sound in the world. If you've never heard one, search YouTube or Streetfire.net under 20B or 3 Rotor.

FIBREMAZ 07-22-07 09:26 PM

Mine is fairly close to my dream SA/FB
13B PP,50mm T.B's, Microtech, Alloy radiator,TII turbo g/box, lightened flywheel and H/D clutch, TII oil cooler font mounted, TII alternator w/twin belt pulley
Noltec adjustable strut tops, Coilovers with 350Lb springs, thicker front and rear sway bars, 3.75" lowered rear springs,KYB shocks (would prefer Koni's but hey)
FD calipers with slotted FC discs, braided brake lines.
17"x7" Lenso RS5's with redwalls
Carbon hood,Carbon headlight covers,Carbon cowel panel,Carbon centre console and gearstick surround,Carbon rear 1/4 vents.
Sparco reclinable seats, custom white faced guages 3 color switchable.
Main thing I would upgrade if $$ allowed would be changing to 20B PP

Good suggestion -- awesome sound. I think the 20B-powered 350Z had the meanest audio.

Jeff 20B -- just checked, unfortunately no exhaust sleeves :(.

Jeff20B 07-24-07 01:36 AM

Thanks anyway.

Speaking of 20B sound, I'd like to record an audio clip of the 20B with just one Borla during the exhaust build. I'm just as curious as you guys. ;)

Rotary20B has some nice vids of his 20B first-gen on his website.

I have seen alot of nice 1st gen 7's. And most of the nice ones come from here on the forum. But of course my favorite sits in my garage. It's been in three magazines this year and I got a call the other day for a calender deal. I haven't shown it much this year because of the media coverage its got. Never before have I built a car that has recieved a response as this one has and its a pretty good feeling knowing I own it. So, yeah I'm a little biased.

85 SE, widebody, TII motor - too many mods to list. Shooting for over 400 rwhp. (old picture)

Completely restored from the ground up 82 GSL, Tornado Silver Metallic, black interior, 1k on a brand new 12A(yeah brand new not freshly rebuilt ;) ), Rebuilt tranny and rear end. It would be as immaculate as it would have been as it rolled off the assembly line.
Or
A mint GSL-SE like the red one that we all drool over.
Okay guys let's hear what your dream FB is!

As far as looks my car is pretty much what I want.

The rest of the cars needs some work.

Of course I do, I wonder if you know that there is no rims in the picture and the tires were just sitting in the wheel wells.

That picture was just to get an idea of how wide of tires I could fit and what they would look like I just quickly tossed the tires into position.

Sold those tires months ago and now I have CCW's and some Nitto drag radials in the rear.

firstgen689 11-02-07 06:41 PM

this car when its done and when i get more money with a 13b street port engine polished and a s5 tranny
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ven/pic020.jpg

BlackWorksInc 11-02-07 06:42 PM

Heh, I have a long list of what my FB will become when I am done with her...

Short way to hint it: Rotary Powered Drift/Street Sleeper

that kit has been questioned so many times it ain't funny.. i'm sure there's a few servers that are full because of all the threads started on it.. If your dad really does own it, get pics! of everything! and molds.. of everything!

Hahah yea my dad owns that car....though couldn't tell you where the body kit is from it was all installed and painted by Collision Network inc. in Concord, Ontario.
if that helps at all...ill take more pictures when its warmer out, its like -20 celcius out.
