Nah not a drag car. The bonnet,bumper and grill are from my drag R100. The rest of the car is simply Mazda 1300 coupe. I gave up on the R100 replica project after finding a genuine R100.

Scott where you been? Met two more San Jose local guys with "2" coupes plus other old rotors. One has that red coupe with vinyl top and another is funny foul mouthed Aussie guy. You just need to get out more!

BTW: they both seen you around town. Your little "White Liger" is infamous!!!
The white liger is officially sold.....

Thanks for all the help on it Vince, will surely miss it... You know I cant screw in a bolt if it did it itself! haha....

R.S. Watanabe picked up the equipment used to make the original SSR Rs-8, which looks like that wheel but the SSR's were 3-piece and available in 4x110. I have a 14x8, 14x8.5 staggered set on my FB.

Oh man, that's just wrong! It still looks okay because it's a great looking design regardless of what this foolio did to that poor Cosmo... but those horrible rims and that wing!!!

Double post! You hit the ENTER button twice because of this slow *** server, huh???

Man, bummer the White Liger is gone but glad it seems like the new owner will pick up where you left off. Scott, you can get your old school jollies off with my rides now. Just donate to the Enzo Works fund. LOL!!!

I just got some Riken machined face mesh 15's for the Duece last week but need to get them re-drilled. They are 108 PCD but I need 2mm more so should be no big deal. They look soooo good!

I know what you've got planned... Your RX3 will definitely be one of a kind on this side of the globe with those sick *** wheels in that crazy width/offset. I wanted a set of those for my RX2 too (or those wheels cousins), but you just can't go very wide on stock RX2 fenders so I said "scew it". I swear man, you've got a conussier's good taste just like me but actually have the budget to pull it off. Big props man!

IslandSnow, in case you were wondering- I saw your post the other night over at JapaneseNostalgicCar. I'm lurking everywhere. Haha!

I haven't logged on japanese nostalic cars for awhile..... but yeah I'm everywhere. The wheels are super wide and will need a super wide flare which I am working on right now. I dont want to post any pictures yet as this is my first time doing something this crazy and I dont know how this will turn out so I'm keeping my fingers cross and my toe's.

Doh!!! I thought that those door handles and side mirrors were a bit odd at first... I still can't really tell if it's a model or just a Cosmo clone.

My projects are 99.9% complete. just working on a few items and just doing some upgrading. But other than that, owning too many cars aint fun at all. Busy work schedule and no time to a cruise. Sometime I wonder how it will be if I only have one RX. Hard decision since I like all pre-86 RX.
