G'day from DMRH Its with sadness that I tell you guys that the WAR-20B Cosmo was sold this weekend (MAY-2011) to a new owner in Hobart, TAS Whilst I wasn't really interested in selling it, this owner offered the right money & proved to be as anal as I am when it comes to preserving th Cosmo in...

04-MAR-92 was not a production day for the 20B-REW Cosmo. Several 13B-REW versions rolled down the line that day but no 20B-REW versions. The 20B version sold almost equally with the cheaper 13B version until the FD-RX-7 sales ramped up (1992). Then the super pricey 20B version sales dropped...

G'day from DMRH Here is the list of "No No" items I are taking a risk with. If the parent company know the pricing I was thinking of compared to the min-pricing they want me to ask. Then its best that all perspective buyers PM or e-mail me.............. :wink: The pricing of any ABC123...

G'day from DMRH Used to be a Cosmo birthday thread one here at one stage......?? REgardless, here are the Birthdays of your 20B-REW + 13B-REW Cosmo's........... JCESE 102785 = 04-MAR-91 JC3SE 103812 = 05-SEP -92 Yes, we have a Welsh background here. Dad from Bangor & most relo's from...

G'day from DMRH Assuming you have a Welsh background from your location..........CYMRU AM BYTH. Quote the Japanese VIN of your Cosmo & I'll be happy to pronounce its official birthday for you. Great to have you joining the team. REgards

Ok, this seems really cool but I need some educating here. What is the Greedy E-manage versus a Haltech Platinum for example. I know the Haltech can plug directly into the wiring loom via an adapter harness. Then you program away all your options as per any stand alone ECU. So whats the...

Guys, as soon as I take the Cosmo for one last spin & verify everything, I'll be taking orders for both suspension & brakes......... REgards

Like most Japanese cars, the last of the series is often the best but shortest lived. The Series-3 RX-8 should be no exception. Recall the Series-3 RX-7 (84-85). Mazda gave a 13B-RESI option of the USA & a 12A-Turbo option for Japan. REgards

Antoine....................... U-da-man Loved that cool Cosmo parked alongside that lesser machinery REgards

Took the Cosmo for a little drive last night to give the suspension & brakes a test. Started raining (typical) so couldn't go too hard..... First the suspension makes the car feel different in two ways..... 1. The considerable reduction in Un-sprung weight 2. stiffer springs & struts So the...

G'day. Here are the pics of the rear shocks getting installed. Installation of the rears was seriously easy once the interior was removed. The rear parcel shelf had a couple of holes bored out in them but not through the top fabric. I then left the adjusting key inside the strut if I...

Rear shocks fitted last weekend. Pics to come. No chance at a proper test drive thanks to the 3km run back home from another mates place. REgards

Well, last weeked was a good one with most of SUN devoted to fitting the front shocks & brakes to the Cosmo. We rolled the Cosmo into a mates garage. 12hours, Pizza, beer & plenty of distractions later the work was completed. Here are the pic's 01. Starting with the standard 280mm single pot...

Quite a weight saving................ Standard front strut/spring combo = 7kg ea Custom front strut/spring combo = 3kg ea Standard front calipers = 6kg ea Custom front calipers = 2kg ea Thats a lot of savings in "Un-sprung" weight that will mean greater handling...

Love the pics, they are pretty awesome. Not a fan of the photo-shop treatment but like most womens mags these days that brush up the models for print................ It must be a sign-of-the-time. All good as its Rotary power on the cover & even for a JC Cosmo to get a glimpse on the cover is a...

Package un-packed & photographed. Here are the raw components. Note: the 330mm discs are a "Full-floating" design to save unsprung weight. I shall attempt to get them fitted to the Cosmo in the next week or so as time is short but shall manage something. I'm keen to weigh these...

2x boxes arrived today. Will post pics of the brakes & suspension by end of week. REgards (dance)

Took the WAR-20B Cosmo for a little cruise today (06-DEC) with some other Sydney based RX's. Got a nice view of another Cosmo on the run down south of Sydney. Filming & driving at the same time meant I didn't get the chance to catch too much footage. >>Youtube link<< This is the Simon Francis...
