Cool badging

I just saw that limited badge on 79rex's car and got inspired. I want some unique badges on my project car, but don't know what all my options are thus far. So far, I have the "Rotary Engine" badge from an SA and intend to make a "1.3 Liter" or "1300cc" badge (I'll have a 13B, so it makes sense). Anything else out there I should put on? I don't want anything big, just unique. Later.

hey.. I've got one of those "Rotary Inside" stickers, found it at the mall, under a pile of "4-banger inside" stickers.
put it on the left back window, so people can see it when I pass them up . Now everyone asks me what a rotary is, and I get out my little diagram...

Actually thought about that....Mazdatrix has all the TurboII logos, then cut it....kinda neat...but the savannah logos would be more up my alley,
anyone know where to locate any?

problem with going to a savanna logo is that an 83 is not a savanna (just getting technical on yah)

selectmaz sells them.

87turbo2,
It's Savanna, not Savannah...

riffraff,
Actually, technically ALL 1st gens ARE Savanna's... At least in Japan. They were just sold under the Mazda name in North America...

Redwood,
It should be a 1308cc badge as the 13B's have 2 654cc rotors... And if you do make them, I'd be interested...

I am pretty sure the Turbo models where the Savanna GT-X's, made from 83-85 with the 12A Turbos.


Even the 79 RX-7 was referred to as the Savanna.

Oooh, that's another cool thought.. How about GT-X badging from Japan?

I'd love to get my hands on the GT-X badging. I've got the engine, but can't seem to find anything on GT-X badging.
That'd be cool!

I'm 90% sure there was a J-spec GT-X and GT-Turbo
Not sure of the difference tho...

A GT-X badge would be cool after I SC my car later this year...

damn joe wher can I get one of those and how much $?

It would look good mounted in the middle of the hood like a porshe logo (only if you remove the "Mazda" emblum from the left side and fill in the holes )

peace
