fixed

 

I drifted the shhitttt out of that miata. I miss it though. i traded it straight accross for the rx7.

 

I dig the bungee cord keeping your afm from knocking around.

I see no ps/ac stuff but i do see power steering lines. Care to elaborate?

 

probably just a depowered PS rack with looped lines. thats what ive been running for teh past 1-2 seasons in my corolla

 

Looped lines is a very half assed way to depower a rack. I'll keep power steering for quicker transitions thank you.

 

I was hoping for some sort of electric pump.....

PS feels great. I refuse to drive a car without ps again unless my pump/lines go terminal....in which case i have a backup set in my basement! ZING!

 

I'm runnin a sw20 pump on my set up

 

My car came with no PS. I have a pump to put back on because drifting=fail without PS.

Lines are not looped. Just open rack.

 

i have a write up in my sig on the mr2 setup too.....

***** hawt

 

Sweet Shifter... What is it made out of?

 

a *****?

 

I'm digging the shifter boot!

 

A silent *****? No thwacking noises?!

Lame.

 

Its a piece of aluminum my friend made into that on a lathe. Girls like my shifter and going sideways in my car.

I also made the shift boot. I plan on getting full seat covers out of crown royal bags.

 

That's the stupidest **** I've ever heard.

BTW, where are the pics of your modded spindles? You were telling me over a year and a half ago how super awesome you are at making custom **** and how your daddy was on your case to get more steering angle.

 

cant run angle modz with +45 offset...

 

And i shall read it again.

However, i dunno if it's worth what people want for these freakin things on ebay....

None of my local yards can help. I'll keep hunting around but not gonna kill myself trying to get it done.

Really, the extra room would be nice. I ******* hate changing spark plugs and i do it every time i let my car sit for extended period times and then crank it up. It's a pain in the *** with all that **** in the way.

 

with how many people that have been doing the pump swap. they're gonna just get more expensive. if you want to do it, just do it. i redid the wiring on mine. if you scroll to the last post it shows what i followed. keep it on a switch tho. no point in having the pump running full duty on the freeway or anything above 15 mph

 

Finally got some decent photos from my mate

 

Sorry for the number of pics, will be the only time i get to post them

 

normally I enjoy a good engine swap in these cars, but a jz powered cosmo? now that's blasphemy

 

^ agreed, i was hoping for either the RE or 20b...

but i was thrown off guard lol


... but awesome none the less..


how does the Cosmo chassis handle?? i still plan on getting one when my fd is done...

 

lol, it was running an RE. I felt it was getting a little ridiculous when i had that much money and time being put into a car that ended up sitting in the garage 80% of the time thanks to numerous problems with the rotary engine. The previous owner has put in atleast 3 engines, it had a nice bridgeport RE at one point but he reverted to a stock engine since it was less problematic. After a few track days the stock turbos failed me, exhaust leaks and heat issues with the single turbo, and then OMP issues with the standalone computer. There's not a lot of info out there on OMP operation out there (the standalone used a map/table for the OMP, same as spark/fuel).

Anyway, figured i'd follow a lot of the other drift cars out there going the jz route for power and reliability - it also makes economic $$ sense. Though i've still got a half-bridge 20b sitting around waiting for a chassey

I really wouldn't know what to comment about it. I swapped cars with an fd owner one track day, i think the cosmo can be made just as capable as an fd

 

Factory, it looks like it should be a toyota and jz powered buuuuut, i saw the hood popped and had to wipe my eyes.

I can't believe someone would do that! *applause*

Dont explain reasoning for building somethign different/cool.

 

not saying it isn't sweet, just not natural/right
I would like to see a 3sgte in an FC, I think it would be cool
