been working, working and have not had much time to do anything rotatory for a while. The Infini I'm getting a few parts for it and sending it to paint I hope at the end of April. the drivers side motor froze up and I should be swapping it out this weekend if the part gets here by then.


here is one more picture

great scoop, another good rotary to your collection.

Hows the motor in this one ? Did you ever go single on the other cosmo, remember you debating about going gt40 or staying with the twins.

from what they said the motor is good. they are selling it because the Japanese inspection is coming up and they dont want to pay it.

it has around 75,000 kilometers ~ 46,000 miles on it.


about the time I was going to convert to 5 speed and goto single, my work got busy and I started going back to school and didnt have time to really take on that project and do it right.

who ever had the car before me did the lame tint job in the back window and now its all bubbled up debating on spending the time to scrape it out and retint VS swaping back the back window out from my other car. that was just tinted a few months ago.


here a few more pics
