Its got a nissan vibe to it. A cross between a r32 gtr & a s13 silvia. Very cool. Can't be too many of them left. Let alone, one usa registered. Its a piece of history. Thank you for not destroying it!
“Keep the car to its roots amd keep luxurious”. “We are going big single turbo”. Bro, that’s not the wise choice. Same size but modern AND retaining the smooth sequential turbos is the way to keep it OEM+. The amount of heat big single turbos generate and well as reduction in “smooth” delivery is big. I hope you take constructive criticism for what it is as I love the car and respect your experience with the rotary. Modern turbos are a huge step from 1991 to 2021, 30 years of power output and spool time more than replicate the older big single turbo modification. This car with butter smooth power delivery and a manual gear box to really explore the elasticity of the 20b rotary will have love struck. Exactly why I fell in love, and still am, with BMW M (NA Pre 2012). Looking forward to following this delicious project car 🚗
Ive looked up every car that i want and every time i look one up, you're the first person i see. so in conclusion i subscribed so that i can see all my dream cars. :)
Poorly working dash clusters are typical problem for this era. Usually the problem is very easy to fix. Pull the dash out and replace all THT capacitors. It should help.
I have a 1991 type s cosmo with a 100 OEM 20b. The problems with mine are a bit similar to yours a connection point of mine is missing as well i have virually no rust execpt on the wipers and a tiny amount of rust on the top of trunk ( not the inside on the outside body) inside the owner had a radio but he disconnected it and a put a small piece of wood that has a velcro piece to hold it idk why. The back seat head rest have no internal parts to hold it up it seems, the time on the passesger side the led seems to have died out but other then that I got lucky in the fact my car has almost a 100 original interior which is super comfy. I hope you enjoy your cosmo man and I can't wait for more vids on a really under rated monster.
Joe Barbaro After we put it on the lift we did find 2 spots of rust, and there was a small patch on the trunk lid, but overall we were pretty surprised.
About the 4th gear overdrive problem might be transmission solenoid like you said or speed sensor that causes it have that problem and fixed by replacing speed sensor on my mazda 323 protege 2000
I got it for the body. You won't find another black Cosmo with the mazdaspeed kit in this condition for a while. It was either wait another 1-2 years for the right one to pop up or bite the bullet and go now. The added bonus is the car is cosmetically EXACTLY what I was going to do to a Cosmo regardless. It looks just like my Old FD. Black on gold LMs is my favorite look.
This car is Yakuza af. Every line of that car makes me so happy inside. Happy for your Cosmo, man!
The biggest flaw is that shitty slush box behind the engine. Manual swap is a must!
Bigpimping Papercut well they are extremely rare in manual also better auto for a daily
Fat Fuck I don’t think they were ever offered in manual
I daily a manual, much better than dailying an automatic
Bigpimping Papercut hows you’re legs?
I bet you prefer cranking your windows up and down too.

Most murican phrase ever

Makes me want a blacked out Cosmo to just roll around in and look like a badass. That rotary sound, fire shooting, luxury car.
So sweet, love the Cosmo and the plan for it.
I saw you cruising around yesterday, looks sweet rolling haha

Love the cosmo, It's BEAUTIFUL😍❤️ Can't wait to see more videos about it

Neverheard of it u til now and that looks awesome. Looks a bit like of a S13 but better.
Nice! All of those flaws are perhaps annoying, but not show stoppers. Except the dash not working... probably just a blown fuse somewhere.
Saw you at import shoot out thanks for bringing her here
That rear tint would bug the hell out of me
no rust on a 27 year old mazda, thats incredible. My 323f had 2 holes in the floor and the fuel tank started leaking after 1 winter.

sweet plan. looking forward to the build
sick car homie.

She's a beauty mate.
That's a solid Cosmo.
Single turbo and manual swap, can't wait to see a video of that! :)
I think this car is a collectible, no need to turn it into a monster.
Is there a reason why you went with the 13b over the 20b or did you just want a cosmo no matter what engine is in it?

Rotors Magazine I understand and respect that
I saw a mint 20b cosmo with the mazdaspeed kit in grey with just under 60000miles go for 12k just recently.
Yo u should hit up the import company u used to get your car and tell them your gauges are missing
You’ve gotta use your phone for speedometer?
What else is wrong with the car? Automatic transmission
Cosmos only came in 4 speed autos
It’s in kilometers so you can’t read it anyway? Really not that hard...
That is a beautiful car, congratulations.
Freakin love it.......I'm jelly lol. Very happy for you.
what's the deal with the steering wheel? it stands out as if it's aftermarket, is it part of some kind of special trim or something?
Aftermarket
Can you tell me what steering wheel that is PLEASE
oj tyler factory wheel lol
Thank you for sharing.
Call 1800-dentwizard for that dent with out painting it
Your hand is on the mic.
what company did you buy the car from?
oh man thats pretty
Minimal flaws for an old car
Nice car....
Can I buy your 13B when you pull it. I need an auto for my project RX-8.
Jason Pohlman $4k
Wats the mileage
You got shafted
" annying "
I know it's just a daily but I wish u would make it a drift build (widebody kit?)
no.
Camron Goodall god no please god no never.
Bob Sagit lol
This car is to heavy, luxurious, and classy to be a drift car. Why buy such a nice car to be a drifter and not an FC.
Dan Rau that's the joke buddy
The worst part of the car is the owner
don nick why the hate?
