Just an FYI... all rotary cars/trucks are getting very rare... even the butt ugly cosmo... they should all be saved. If your not interested please post up where they are so someone can go get them

RX-5's are heavier and less attractive.

I see potential in the cosmos pictured. i would start with filling the glass portion closest to the trunk (not rear windshield). Some subtle flares. Blacked-out headlight bezels and grill. Valance on the lower front.

I see the cosmo, and I think disco. C'mon can't you see the cosmo being a car in cannonball run if the movie was made like 3 years earlier? They could have tricked it out, and the Japanese guys in the movie would have driven it. Way cooler than that z car (I think) they drove.

Speaking of disco, those gold rims would look perfect on my rx4 wagon. are they 4/110? Or did they get the 114s on the cosmo?

I daily drive a 76 Cosmo. I have another with roll cage and Lexan windshield that was raced in SCCA. I also have a 74 RX-4 and 2 parts cars with many parts. All but the Cosmo I drive and the complete RX-4 are FS. I've had people say they want parts. No one comes through. Talk is very cheap, particularly here.

Cosmo has 4 wheel disk brakes (10" front, 11" rear), 14" 4X120 wheels and coil springs all around. Very nice driving car. Mine will out run a stock 1st or NA 2nd gen. It has a GSLSE engine with Dellorto and SP Racing Beat exhaust.

no need to get upset. instead, you should be happy that you dont have any competition for parts

put up your cosmo as in what?

Rx4s and Cosmos can be cool cars if they are done right, they can also be one hell of a sleeper as well. Sweet rides 74Rx4, I have the a set of the Amer Racing rims for one of my cosmos also, and I used the same LE rims on my Rx4, I also have that same airdam i haven't mounted it yet because I am getting the lower valance and the airdam molded into one piece. I like how you used paint on the 4 to accent the natural body lines.

Right now my is dull grey which is ok because it has a blown 13b 6 port under hood pushing about 300hp at the flywheel but the s/c gives me enough torque at low end to twist the chassis all up. The dull paint has gotten me out of more tickets than you can imagine.... what do you mean I was doing 110mph in this POS you've got to be kidding....LOL

I'm hoping the bridgeport in my Rx-4 will have the same effect. What do you mean I was going that fast, listen to this thing. It bareley runs!

bridge is nice. The blue RX-4 has a TII full bridgeport with duals into a racing beat universal muffler. thats the only way to go, other than a turbo, on a heavy *** RX-4
