Project Pay2Play: My Eunos Cosmo has arrived!

EVENT UPDATE!

In case you haven't noticed...I posted up a visual recap of the recent Rotary Meet I attended...Have a look see:

Extras...







 
Great pics mate. Your Cosmo is a stand out feature of the Car Park yet again.

How many JC Cosmo's did you spot whilst there on the weekend...??

It is nice to see so much love for the rotary all in one spot. I bet the sound track was awesome.

My Mazda Dealer friend sourced the Optima battery through their AutoExe connection...AutoExe actually offers an optima battery for the 7 and the Cosmo...I don't recall at the moment but I believe it's 26L/31L.

The one they offer for the 7 is smaller...The one offered for the Cosmo fits in the stock location and uses the stock brackets.

As for the performance...The Cosmo starts up faster and idle seems even more rock solid than before...I definitely feel there is a boost in "juice" through out the electrical system. (2thumbs)




Hello and welcome to Mazda Forums once again, Aaron...Great to meet another fellow Eunos Cosmo owner and enthusiast! :D

I would be happy to help but please keep in mind that my Friendly Mazda Dealer doesn't seem able to do business outside of Japan...:(

Unforuantely, I don't really have much time to source and sell parts myself...I think a professional shop/exporter would be best suited for such a request.

That said...I'll try to help if I can...Keep in touch and keep us updated on your Cosmo! (thumb)

Ps...Thanks for the props!




(cool) Thanks man...Cool pic...Great angle...Glad to have met you...Maybe we can meet up sometime...Keep in touch! :D




Thanks for the input, Phil...Much appreciated...My HID conversion will resume once I bring back the Cosmo for more upgrades...I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as always...:)

Props for mentioning a trustworthy source for all those EC owners outside of Japan...Checkout RHDJapan and don't forget to mention our man, Phil! (2thumbs)

What sort of parts did you order?

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious if you have some connections as I know of difficulties dealing from outside of Japan.

Thanks for the props, Dave! :D

As for other Cosmos...Can you believe I didn't see a SINGLE ONE!?!? I really was hoping to see at least one other EC there and get a chance to meet a fellow owner but no luck this year...:(


I forgot to ask.. What kind of wheels do you have on your Cosmo?? I have something similar that came with my Cosmo..

Old School Mesh Style 18" Volk Racing Rims

These rims were already on the Cosmo when I bought it...I have no idea how long they have been on there...Probably a long time.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked them but I soon realized they are a natural match for my EC.

Volk Racing makes what looks like a slightly more modern version known as the "SF- WINNING" which I dig and might consider in the future...:)

Fully Polished version...

Lookin' real good on this Z here...;)

Indeed, Derrick...Indeed! :D

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious if you have some connections as I know of difficulties dealing from outside of Japan.

I've been making a few connections here and there but it has been difficult finding vendors that can/want to deal outside Japan...:(

That said...I'll post if I do find a way...For now...Have you tried Phil's source...RHDJapan (they should become an Authorized Vendor on the forums ;) )...?
 
I'm planning on bringing the Cosmo back to the my friend today to proceed with the following upgrades:

* Custom Aero-kit Signage Project

* H.I.D. Headlight Conversion

+

Start planning for a full cooling system upgrade...Custom fabricated radiator, FMIC and tranny cooler...This will be done in stages over the next few months.

PS...

One of my new favorite shots of the Cosmo from RX7 & RX8 Meeting 2009! :D

 
* Custom Aero-kit Signage Project??

COOL! Can't wait to see it!! I just got a custom exhaust put in.. Now this thing rolls!!
 
very nice car antoine, you always keep it so clean!

Thanks man...:D


* Custom Aero-kit Signage Project??

COOL! Can't wait to see it!! I just got a custom exhaust put in.. Now this thing rolls!!

Yup...Still in the works but hopefully it will turnout as I imagined...Stay Tuned...;)

Just saw your exhaust system update...I'm still having visions of a custom cooling setup and now I dreaming of a custom exhaust setup...Never ends...HAHA! :p


UPDATE!

This week is an important ancestor related holiday in Japan known as "Obon" and I'll be heading to Kyoto for a few days.

I plan on cruising there in the Cosmo so Project Pay2Play won't recommence until sometime next week...The current plan is to complete the HID and Custom Aero-kit Signage Projects then start working on a Custom Cooling setup (v-mount?)...Stay tuned...(laugh)

Here's a few recent pics...

Quick interior test shot...


Some pics of the Cosmo from a recent trip to KAMIGAMO-SHRINE (http://www.kamigamojinja.jp/english/index-e.html) and yes I made my own parking spot so that the Cosmo could chill under that tree...:)








 
Beautiful as always Antoine.

BTW what is on the rocker panel just in front of the rear tires?
 
Antoine,

If you do the kit and get rid of your stock bumper lip, let me know. I wouldn't mind getting one of those on my car :) Can't wait to see what it would look like :)

Beautiful as always Antoine.

BTW what is on the rocker panel just in front of the rear tires?

I believe it says "COSMO". Its an OEM add on side skirt.
 
Awesome pics as always!

Also I would love to get that OEM body kit for my Cosmo too....

Anyone know where to get them from?
 
yeah try isicar.com 38,000 yen. for one with the glowing sign. i believe there is four different manufactured kits for EC's I'd like to see some custom jobs though.
 
Antoine could u keep an eye out for an old best motoring international. it's only on vhs has a review of the cosmo's by drift king. I was going to buy it but figured i couldnt translate it

That's a signage piece that has "Cosmo" on it...Not the illuminated version though...:(

I'll keep that in mind but I don't plan on removing the lip...:)


i want one soooo bad!!!!!!!

I know how you feel...Now I'm lucky enough to own one...Good Luck with your search! :D

Thanks...The only way to get an OEM body kit for the Cosmo now would be to search the used parts market (in all its forms) or an EC forum like this one...:)

Thanks for sharing that link...Yeah...There were several aftermarket kits made for the EC including a few variations from Mazda...RE-A might still offer their kits...?

I would also like to see some custom jobies as well...;)
