Yeah, I think that is a Rx-8 in the background. Check out that Cosmo poster on the wall. Too bad that article has no mention of the car! Here's the photo...

I have an issue of Mazda Sport magazine, where Leno talks about his supercharged Miata, & a little bit about his RX-8. He uses them as his daily driver's, because they handle great, & he dosn't have to worry about them too much when he parks somewhere.

here's a page from one of the mag. I got from Snap-on called "Tech."
A quote from Jay, "Most guys in Hollywood are happy if they have 30 girls and a car. I have a bunch of cars and one girl. It costs less, and I have more fun." lol

With the kind of money and resorces Jay has, he can fabricate new parts for the 10A... Hell, he can fabricate an entire new 10A if he really wanted to... You cant compare Jay with the average car guy or what you would do....

a 12a is the economical way to go about it, If I had a cosmo and was not going to make it a meticuloisly retored car for my own enjoyment, it would have a Eunos cosmo engine, probably e type (3rotor right?) if your gunna go out go all out, just do not....... that is DO NOT mess with the exterior styling, that would be sacreligious
