Here's the Shop's site that built the beast (via Google Translator):

Looks to be a hardcore machine shop and definitely a place to keep in mind...Maybe I can drop by sometime this summer to check it out...

Interested to know the time it ran... doesn't look "that quick" compared to what i'm used to looking at, but again doesn't look purpose built so i wont critisise... if it pulled something sub 10 its pretty beasty for a street appearing car

edit: er...looked at the site.. it is purpose build :S

If I'm not mistaken, based on the description for the 2nd vid...The supra did an 8 sec run.

Regardless, the fact that someone purpose built a Eunos Cosmo drag racer ANYWHERE in the world is awesome...There are so many rotary-powered drag racing machines running modified Eunos Cosmo 20Bs that it's actually refreshing to see someone run an EC racer with a 20B! (rockon)

Also, drag racing in Japan is one of the rarest forms of motorsport here and seems to get little to ZERO attention compared to say Drifting & SuperGT racing...So this drag racing EC is especially unique.

I would like to know in what state-of-tune it's in...Those vids could be of shake-down runs and the EC racer no where near its full potential...(burnout)

Oh yeah, its certainly cool and unique...especially since its in japan

but you and i both know the 20B belongs in dirty old RX3's

Antoine ,, I could not agree more it is so refreshing to see the 20b racing in the car it was actually designed to be in, ,, well done in finding this video,, I love the fact that it looks so standard from the front,, awesome(omg)
