Project Pay2Play: My Eunos Cosmo has arrived!

[erwin]

Hello from Belgium

Hi Mazda fanatics,

I'm erwin from Belgium and also Mazda-crazy
You can check my website to look at the cars we have here, we have also 2 Cosmo's, a 13B 1992 type S, and a 20B 1991 type E-CCS, i have a question for Antoine, because it's very difficult for us here in Belgium to find OEM mazda parts for this cars, is it possible to get the part-numbers for the air-filter, brake pads, fuel filter,... from your local mazda dealer?

Thanks and best regards, erwin

Now it's time to fire this thread back up!

The wheels look great but I know 20s fit in there. They would more proportional to the size of the cosmo.

20's have no place on any car...

Although 20's look pretty dramatic on a Cosmo...IMO they are just too large for practicality, performance and proportion...If I were building an all out "custom" Cosmo show car with air suspension etc then I think 20's might be appropriate...Otherwise...Go smaller...(thumb)

Hey I just agree with your home country movie favorite where I saw a cosmo on 20s "Serious Fours and Rotaries" in Australia. One of the best jdm car movies I remember from back in the days.

Where can I find this movie...What's the actual title? Thanks in advance!

I have got a series II eccs version. I dont have that much lined up for it at the moment, so I am living vicariously through you! (headbang)

Series II ECCS..The all-out luxury version...Nice! (gotpics)

Seems you have been spotted at that show Antoine.................(rockon)

Photographer knows how to get the shot just right. This is poster material mate

Thanks for the heads up...Very nice shot indeed...I was actually standing next to the photographer when he took this shot...After I returned home from the show...I was uploading my own pics when I came across this sweet shot of my own ride! (thumb)

Yeah, that was me. Usually the best stuff is in the carpark.
Here's a few more from the show (will be uploading throughout the week):

Welcome and thanks again for taking and uploading a super sweet shot of my Cosmo! (2thumbs)

Nice color. My only gripe is that the rear wheel looks very distorted.

I noticed that as well...Must be the lens and or effect used to take the shot..?

whats the paint code for that cosmo color its gorgeous!?

Thanks...The color really is gorgeous...Deep and rich...I can't stop looking at it!

Good question...I want to find out myself when the time comes to give Pay2Play fresh paint...The color is a perfect match for the Cosmo's super slick exterior.

Someday, I'd like to give the Cosmo an exterior overhaul...Strip the paint...Make sure the body is in perfect shape and then get the best damn paint job I can afford using the current original factory color.

does the car have strong camber on the rears? I thought it might have been barrel distortion (not surprising with that lens), but it looks the same in tighter shots.

Nope...Stock camber I believe...In the photo above...It has got to be barrel distortion because the rear wheels are no where near that level of camber...Still a cool shot though! (thumb)

Hello and Welcome, Erwin! (hi)

First of all...Thanks for joining the community and posting in my thread.

It's great to meet another Mazda/Cosmo fan...You've got two very nice looking Cosmos there (what's better than one Cosmo?..TWO! ).

As for part numbers...I can understand how difficult/frustrating it can be to find OEM parts...Even here in Japan in can be difficult. The next time I drop by my friendly Mazda dealer...I'll ask if they can provide part numbers for those parts.

Have you modified your Cosmos at all or are you just maintaining them in stock condition?

In anycase...Stay tuned to this thread and keep us updated your Cosmos!

Ps...Post a link to your website...

Here are a few quick shots of a poor Cosmo I spotted while checking out funky furniture & army surplus shops in Okinawa...







The interior was worse off than the exterior...Looked like an ECCS version with full tan/beige leather...Unfortunately, the leather was all cracked and in terrible shape...

On the plus side...I dig that custom 3 rotor decal but if I was going to have it on my Cosmo...I'd have it ghosted into the paint via airbrush...It would look great on a shirt!

On a side note...I wish I had the funds and space to rescue these neglected Cosmos...Maybe when I win the lotto...

 

[Antoine]

...and finally some new shots from my new parking spot/garage and a new mod! (2thumbs)

My Popz took this pic from the balcony of my new place. I was pulling into the garage after a short cruise.


I tried to get a shot of the latest forum hoodie (chocolate version) and the Cosmo...Sort of worked...lol...


The new parking space...Don't get too close now...Pay2Play does BITE!


The new mod...A CARBING front strutbar...Got one for the rear as well but that will be installed later on...Maybe when I replace the rear speakers. It requires cutting or removing the stock rear deck.


An extremely nice piece...strong, sturdy and made in Japan...(thumb)


Level view...Tight fit having to clear the Cosmo's long and low slung hood.


Full engine bay shot...Been a while since I did one...Unfortunately, I haven't had to time to clean it up before the shot...One of these days...

I really dig that the strut bar looks totally natural in the Cosmo engine bay (bet some people might believe it's stock)...Just the look I like and better yet it's a high quality/high performance piece! (2thumbs)


Designed & Fabricated in Japan...Keepin' it real.


Close up shot...Like a roll of coins...Beautiful welds.(shocked)


New passegner side pic (window up)...Time for another cruise...

I have the exact same strut brace in mine, except mine is white. Does yours rub on the hood lining? I know mine does because the white paint shows everything. (pissed)

Just remove the hood lining then. I always remove mine in my cars. Just another item that keeps heat trapped in your engine bay allowing air and fluids to become heat soaked. That may be good in the winter, but not the rest of the year.

Great pics by the way, that's a beautifully made strut bar. I can't wait to see more pics. Keep up the good work.

Hi,

I need your help - could you tell me, what's the Mazda oryginal symbol of this colour?

I know it's Blurring eve blue mica, but what's the number... Maybe you've got the VIN number of such a Eunos Cosmo?

Thanks and regards!

checking out funky furniture & army surplus shops in Okinawa...

Thats about all Okinawa is good for, i mean besides the girls and the beaches.

Brake pads.......

Fr = BA-323 (V6 version)
Rr = HC-929 (V6 version)

Fuel filter = DB-121 (1300cc EFI version)

Thats what I use here in Oz as they are the same parts.

Air filters are unique so cant helpat this stage

Thanks Antoine,
the 2 Cosmo's are in stock factory condition and we have no plans to modified the cars, just like our other Mazda's,

Best Regards, Erwin and Hans
( Hans is my son and he drives the 13B Cosmo)

Thanks DMRH,
I had already some information about brake pads and fuel filter from http://eunos.com.au/cosmo/parts.html
it's very difficult to find the original part number for the air filter, and don't know if it's used in other Mazda models,
