Oh, I thought the Cosmo was a 4 door sadan?

Nice find and keep us updated on the project.

Congrats!

By the way, 2 20B's are too much for one person...share man...share...lol

Now that's rotary crazy. Good luck with that.

Thanks, I know im going to need it

I'll help you if one of the 20B's end up in my 8...lol, just messing with you buddy.

I hope the best and keep us informed.

your name should be rotary baller!

as soon as it gets here i will post pics, it takes 28 days for the ship to get here and 2 days to clear customs

hey rotary crazy ensellanos algunas fotos de tu collection de "rotaries" <---by the way how do u say rotaries in spanish :)

the japanese dont even have a word for "rotary" or "rotaries" so why would the spanish?

"ROTATIVO" is the espanish word

here are some of my rides, i sold the black vert to make room for the cosmo, the rx-2 its in the paint shop so i dont have recent pictures

is the FC a s5 tii?

"ROTATIVO" is the espanish word

thank you sir....
stealth fox yo tengo un rx8 con un motor rotativo... :rock: see theres is a word for rotary in spanish ... is probably not a proper word but is spanglish and thats good for me..... :mdrmed:

ah si, me no habla espanol mucho bueno. uhh, yo vivo rotativo!!!!!!1111111uno

the fc is a 90 series 5 GTR, at least it said GTR wen I bouht it

your spanish is much better than my english guys :mdrmed:

one more thing, last night we had the firts get together for the santiago rotary club and they elected me president :ylsuper: will have pics soon, not a very large turn out but about 15 rotarys, 2 skylines gtr , a couple of mustans, a few supras, 1 nsx and a few porches, they came to spy on us :spank:

lol i want to see pics of that meet.

well guys the car is here, Im going to get it from the port tomorow, ill take pics of the process

Cool, I didn't say it the first time but the Cosmo looks like a bigger 240SX...or should I say the 240 looks like the Cosmo. What year is your car? It looks like late 80's or early 90's style.

If you dont mind me asking, what did that bad boy cost you?

A nice clean FC like that is my favorite car of all I think, but I never got any of the reactions I get w/ the 8, in my tII FC.

Nice cars man, you are my idol :mdrmed:

I'm SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!

A nice clean FC like that is my favorite car of all I think, but I never got any of the reactions I get w/ the 8, in my tII FC.

Nice cars man, you are my idol :mdrmed:

same for me, the FC is such a beautiful car, yet to the untrained eye(aka 99.9999 percent of people) its just another generic old ugly 80s car. now im my FD(its also a bright color too) thats another story, theres a few stares a block in that old car, and im in west los angeles where people dont look twice at modenas or 996tt's. the rx8 gets peoples attention too, everyone thinks its a good looking car(unless they are a magazine reading "car enthusiast" and hate it because it doesnt do 0-60 in 5 flat)

Cool, I didn't say it the first time but the Cosmo looks like a bigger 240SX...or should I say the 240 looks like the Cosmo. What year is your car? It looks like late 80's or early 90's style.

my car is a 95, but the cosmo was in production from 90 to 95, it does look like an 240sx in pictures but like every mazda pictures dont do it justice, in person the car looks much better, it reminds me of the skyline r33 without all the spoilers and with more class.

If you dont mind me asking, what did that bad boy cost you?

in my door step its goin to be about $ 8,000 us dollars, I was very lucky the car was sold very low price in the auction, maybe because of the color, the car have 58,000 miles and have every option including navigation and dvd player( the cosmo was the firts japanese car with NAV and DVD plater).

and came with a price it has fully adjustable coil overs!!! :rock:

A nice clean FC like that is my favorite car of all I think, but I never got any of the reactions I get w/ the 8, in my tII FC.

Nice cars man, you are my idol :mdrmed:

it is very clean, it has 27,000 ORIGINAL MILES, I was going to sell it to get an rx-8 some guy was giving me $7,000 US for it and my wife allmost killed me! she said it was the best looking of all my cars and im not going to lie to you, she is the boss :mdrmed: .

my car is a 95, but the cosmo was in production from 90 to 95

Oh, I didn't know they made the Cosmo so recently. I really need to study my rotary history a bit more. So...it's a 2 door 4 passenger? How is it in the rear...comfy?

Another question, why would Mazda give the Cosmo a 3-rotor but not the RX line of cars, very strange to me???

the cosmo was the original RX-8, in japan most rx cars have names instead of rx, but rx-8 was going to be the export designation and since it was never exported to the US the designation went to the RX-8 you know today

well the rear seats( I only been there for like 15 minutes) are as confy as the rx-8 maybe a little more leg room.
this is the firts cosmo in my country :mdrmed:

while the cosmo and rx8 are both luxury grand tourers cosmo is much more luxury oriented than the rx8 is, the rx8 being much more sporty, do the math 2800 pounds vs near 4000. 4 speed auto ONLY vs 6 speed manual, therefore i dont think the cosmo is the predecessor to the rx8 nor an "original rx8" its more of mazda's competitor to the toyota SOARER(even has simular lines)

there is a guy in the australian forum that work for mazda at the time that show the documantation where it clearly says the cosmo was going to be designated the rx-8 and some mazda enginiers have said the same thing, the designation rx-8 was even considered for the fd.

the cosmo doest weight 4000lbs, with all options the car weight 3,400 pounds+ the sport version weights 3300 pounds + and it is not dificult to cut some weight of the car since the car doest have all the weight saving parts the rx-8 does, I can change the hood, wheels, exhaust system, etc, belive me I have seen this partsand weighted them and they are really heavy, im sure I can shave of at least 100 pounds.

but remember the rx-8 has 13 development years ahead of the cosmo the only thing the cosmo has over the rx-8 its is ptential for crazy power.

regardless of the name, its not the predecessor to the rx8 and thats my opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean its a fact/its true, thats just what i feel based on the large differences in the goal of the car. the cosmo, rx7 and rx8 were all made for different purposes for the consumer.

it was not a predecessor, the cosmo was mazda way to say this is what we can built to show of their tecnology, a cosmo eccs cost at the time 5,400,000 yen or $50,000+ US, it is more a luxury car than anything else it is not a sports car like the rx-8/rx-7.

we've been debating this whole time only to conclude we completely agree...sheesh :rolleyes: good luck on your cosmo

welcome to the internet :mdrmed:

thanks, the car is HERE!!!!!!!!! I STARTED WORKING ON IT :rock: I have to say whow !!!!! this car is amazing, to think its a late 80's desing, mazda is amazing :cool:

will post pics latter

will also do a writeup at some time of the entire expirience of importing a car from japan

The Cosmo definitely isn't the predecessor to the RX-8 but the Cosmo would have had the RX-8 designation had it been exported. It's not about what the car was. It was just a name idea that had nothing to do with the current car. Look at the Mustang Cobras. Nobody would claim that car is the successor to the original Cobra. It's not. It's just a name.

thats what I was trying to say, it was just the designation.

ok guys pics coming really soon, its painted, 19 inch wheels, and some other thins done.

I can say this, this car is really fast it must have more than 350 hp, I have compare it with 2 cars a GS430 and a E55, it was much faster than the GS an a little slower than the E55(500hp!!!!), my car handles really good it has tein coil overs but its a really hard ride. the interior of the car its great for front passenger but in the back there is not much room ( I thoug it had more room than an rx-8 but It doest).

Im still amazed that this car was out in 1990.

Can't wait to see pic's!

Wow, NAV and DVD back in 95?? nice! yes, pics, we need pics!

Wow, NAV and DVD back in 95?? nice! yes, pics, we need pics!

nope, NAV an DVD in 1990!!!!!

that bitch is bad

take some pics of the interior !

how much you got into it so far?

Que hermoso auto!!!

It's one of the MOST beautiful cars I have seen... The lines runs so smooth from the roof to the front and back. !

Te felicito. Por cierto tenes un rotor que ya no uses por ahi? PM me. :) :)

Carlos

thanks, I love the lines , and pictures dont do it justice!

so far about $11,000, but I have some parts that are not on the car that cost me about $2,000 more.

carlos where are you from? I always get a lot of rotary cars to sell, como dicen crea fama y hechate a dormir.

one thing that really stands out of this car is the roof line is really low, about as much as an fd so it makes the car look longer and sportier than it really is.

Beautiful car! Congrats.

Please give us a review or comparison report when you have time.

I havent driven the car alot, once I go on a road trip or put more miles on it I will, but I can say this THIS CAR IS FAST!!

on my future plans are a final gear change the 19" inch wheels took some aceleration away

That is very cool. Take a picture of the engine! :)

nice color, car looks so innocent, you'd never know it has a 3 rotor lurking under the hood just looking at it.

thats the point! surprise the local evo owner or supra :mdrmed:

nice color, car looks so innocent, you'd never know it has a 3 rotor lurking under the hood just looking at it.

well if you were close enough to see the 3 rotor badge & knew what that meant, then...

Wow, nice ride. Maybe I can check it out when I go to Santo Domingo in July.

sure any rotorhead is welcome, you will see the worlds firts left hand drive cosmo :rock: (at least that I know of), also by that time my 20b FD should be ready, I also have a 1972 RX-2, and a 2005 rx-8

I have some updates for this threat, the car has gone some mayor changes, some of them are: Big brake kit, paited the intake manifold, K&n filter,front spoiler( the OEM one), yellow HID and a panspeed chiped ECU

will post pics as soon as I get the car back

Can we see a couple pics of the engine bay?

Wow, I will be in for my bosses daughters quincenera.

Can we see a couple pics of the engine bay?

tomorrow I will go to the shop thats doing the work Ill snap a couple of pics

Wow, I will be in for my bosses daughters quincenera.

sure, just let me know when your coming and we can meet, maybe go to a club meet or a race, my new FC race car is finally ready :rock:

some update:

The car is left hand drive!!!!!!!!!! and drive great!!!!!!

as far as I know it is the worlds first left hand drive cosmo :spank:

Wow - that's one sexy ride. Nice find for sure. Keep her safe man!

I love the car! It is very beautiful. You are a very lucky guy to be able to have all of those rotaries!

Just so you know, "firts" is actually spelled "first."

The worlds only LHD Cosmo.

Is a credit toyou Sir..............:)

What is the Japanese VIN of your Cosmo..........???

REgards

DMRH long time man, hows your monster? Any new mods?

I will look them up when I get home

I had a question for you, do you know where I can get the "3 ROTOR RE" badges that go on the front fenders?

ok i need the story on the drive swap- start typing!!

jajajaja, well it is a good one, when I bought my car it was permited to have it on the roads here, not really legal, but you could get a permit, the permit system was canceled but cops dint pay attention to us( for more than 5 years), but the law started to be put into effect, the car was actually confiscated once :( and I slep outside the lot where the car was, in one night there where 93 cars confiscated, you should have seing the police lot full of silvias, skyline's, type r, rx-7, s2000, and my cosmo, there most have being 50 guys sleping out side the police station, you see in my country the police have the reputation of taking the confiscated cars for a spin :)

it was make the swap or stop using the car, and let me tell you it was not easy, and surely not easy to see your car being taken apart, and the dash boart be broken into little pieces

The other big scare was the stering rack, I could not find one that fit , so I took one and modified it to fit the car, a lot of custom work went into this car and I am really proud of it

what can I say, I think my forum name fits me :)

new front spoiler

that cosmo is hot.
I wish i had the kind of money to play with cars like that.. it must be fun as all hell.

I wish the US import restrictions were not as strict as they are so that you could see more cars like that.:banghead:

Oh man, I was on the edge of my sit for this entire thread. WE NEED UPDATES!!!!
