Are there any more? He unloaded it off the container 2 days ago.













What a nice car....its kinda weird seeing the 20B in its stock location lol.

 

Oh my god, I just love those things. Did you ask how much he payed for one?

 

Very nice. With rims and a paint job that thing will be sick. I'd love to get one.

 

I saw one in montreal , and someone did the 5 speed swap.

It was very nice.

 

He's selling it actually, but it was a customer that brought it to us for a going over to see what it would need. They are still working things out, but if it doesn't go through I'll post up what he's looking to get out of it.

 

Nothing new here. Ive seen Adam at Rx7Specialties with up to 3 at a time in his lot.

 

Eunos cosmo are not much more expensive than FDs in japan. You could get one imported for less than the price of a north american FD (In Canada of course)

 

Pretty cool, except for the rusty engine parts.

 

Yeah I figured you guys out west would have seen a few of these before.

The only other one I saw in person was at Sevenstock this year.

 

I saw one in London a few years ago, even posted a thread about it (which I now can't find with the search).

 

I was going to buy one back in the summer but it sold before I could get my hands on it.

was really nice too, was a type E-CCS, perfect inside and out, was about $8000.

you get them them cheaply if you look for them, but they can be hard to find!

 

Do they all come with Philipino women in the passenger seat?

Cuz if they do sign me up

Sic though.....

 

Damn Joe, your chick radar is fine tuned. I didn't even see a woman in the pics till you mentioned it.

 

I have seen a couple in Edmonton, very cool car.

 

Where do you get parts for them,Japan only? Unlike FD's these were never sold here.Nice car but sounds expensive parts wise with lots of down time if something breaks.

 

Most parts are interchangeable with other Mazda's, the brakes are 929 brakes, the tranny is from an MPV, the engine obviously can be rebuilt using mostly FD engine parts...

 

I really wonder how many of the parts are 929 parts... they're very similar cars. The 929 has a monster diff in the back, I wonder if it's the same too.

 

That's a nice Cosmo!
I was wondering when they'll start importing some of these.

 

I saw one for sale 1 year ago here in Montreal guy was asking 12k and it was in alot better shape.

I loved the digital dash and his interior was black.

 

Have a look at the projects from 3rotor.com....

Mmmmmmm







Love that thing. Check out the "JC Cosmo Pics" and "JC Cosmo Videos". They have some great clips of it and its 300kph attempts!

 

Some day....

On a similar note. Every time someone mentions that they want a 3 rotor from japan I show them a picture of a car that the engines are taken from and then they feel guilty for ever suggesting removing the heart of such a beautiful vehicle and end up wanting one.

They really are wonderful things. In need of a 5 speed swap though.

 

he's got one of his own that is for sale as soon as his new one gets here. and a couple others for parts cars.
they drive beautifully. like riding in a cadillac. the 20b. delivers about as much power as a stock fd, cause they are quite a bit heavier of course.

 

You can easily do a manual swap in these cars. It requires the clutch pedal setup from the 929, then just a transmission. Its almost silly how easy it is mechanically.


However, without the automatic, the ECU requires reprogramming. This can be done by a shop in Austrailia for a premium, or you can just use a standalone.


Alot of the Aussies I talk too do the FD transmission swap along with a Microtec.

 

you could get 929's in manual?

what year?

 

i would love to have one of these. it reminds me of the Lexus SC300/400...
