Has this been done before?

Its at the body prep stage. Once thats done im dropping a complete 91 JC Cosmo running gear setup in the bitch. I dont forsee any problems apart from mounts for the 6 speed supra box thats being mated. If anyone has done a 20b conversion in a luce before giz a holla. By the way im a recent rotak convert so at least giz credit for going straight to the top. its over for 13beez...

 

That worst collaboration of the english speaking language and ebonics i've ever heard. Seriously though, with the tone i'm getting from this post you're going to be nowhere near a finished 20B setup in whatever a "luce" is. Prove me wrong, i dare you.

 

Luce is what the U.S. calls a 929.
The Luce actually came with a 13B option, so I wouldn't think a 20B would be that hard to do?

Ahhh yes, 87GTR posted up pictures of one, would be a fun sleeper.

 

wasnt the luce FWD? or am i on drugs? i know they made one FWD 13b thast never came to america, i thought thats what it was....

 

No, the Luce was RWD.
The 929 is RWD.

you are on drugs! at least you found out!

 

The R-130 Luce was FWD. 13A not 13B. http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/g1-3.html

The second generation Luce was RWD - we called it the RX-4. http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/g2-3.html

Except for this one, I *think* this still counts as 2nd-generation?: http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/g2-8.html

The third generation Luce was RWD - we didn't get it. At least, I don't *think* we got the piston-powered 929 version: http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/g3-1.html

The fourth generation Luce was RWD - we got it with grotty 3.0l V6 as the 929: http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/g3-3.html

Of course Auckland is nowhere near the US so they get to play with all sorts of neat things like Luces and other non-RX-7 rotaries...

 

teh oh noes!!

AH-HA! victory is mine!

thanks for clearing that up.

 

They original poster did mention it was a 1986 model?
