Decided to finally bite the bullet and go for a Cosmo...Ive had a few too many FDs now and they are plentiful at the moment so Im sure i can get a nice spec FD later on if need be...
So having sold my blue FD on, I decided to buy this beast from Freddy :chat :Viking
Spec on her is very nice indeed and she drives nicely. First things to do are sort out a proper ECU suc as Microtech for her and make sure shes running safe and then later on in the winter, I think ill make her Manual...oh and lose the tacky porsche style turbo badge! :Santa

o chuffed with her, just felt the need to throw up some pics :InLove :chat
If anyones got any other thoughts, im always open to fresh ideas :D
hey you forgot the best pic, the engine bay of course!!!! :D
true....I thik ill keep that on semi-lock for now :D
besides, im sure everyone knows what a 20b looks like :D
looks very cool the more i see these the more i like them
Very nice!!!
I\'ve seen this in the flesh and the engine bay contains some goodies. One particular big one :D
Looked a nice car with some really big mods !

So does it contain a large silver snail under there then :burnout
Looks badass Jit!
Gotta be the best looking cosmo i\'ve seen!
Cant believe how wide the back wheels are!
Yes there is a silver snail under there....along with an FMIC, uprated rad and I beleive it has uprated injectors. Just need to find out whether the snail is big enough....otherwise i might end up having to go T51R...wouldnt that be a chore eh? :rolleyes::Giggle
Back wheels are wearing 335 wide tyres :D
Love those rear arches:InLove
what ecu is it currently at the mo?
just dont break it

:spank
:Thumbsup!
Looks awesome :)
Bet those rears won\'t be cheap ;)
Thats looks seriously beefy and smooth at the same time. :D
I agree with removing the turbo badge, looks slightly out of place on there.
Adam
Oh Jit\'s - rub it in why dont you. Robbing me of my goodies. I am seriously going to miss this one (as if you dont know that already).
This is probably the best all round Cosmo in the country. All the work is complete custom.
Most importantly - the pics do it no justice. If you havent washed and taken those pics Jit then the car has not been washed in 7 months! ;)
freddy does come with a nice selection of cars ;)
Saw this a while back, stunning cosmo :cheers
Looks VERY tidy. Have to say I personally detest that body kit tho :P
We\'ve got the (now black) RE-A wide arched Cosmo that Brian imported a few years ago at ours again atm. Altho its a fair bit different these days! Its just one of the coolest looking motors about - well Cosmos are generally :D Add the rather large T88 on it now - yum!
What size turbo has this one got Jit? 20Bs spool turbos very well!
WOW - thats an impressive motor :D :D
Love every thing about it, great looking car, are you taking it to Rotorstock
Lovely car Jit,:Thumbs-up Any chance of some interior pics please? Those rears are huge, look like pirelli? I\'d like to know a bit more about Cosmo\'s, especially 20b powered. are they all auto? How does performance compare to an FD? 0-60?
cheers Bob

Cheers for the positive comments guys!
Blitz - got no idea at the moment. Gonna have a looskie today when the rain clears up for a bit! Not expecting much though...maybe a reflashed stock ECU or something knowing the japanese!
Hudson - :D You wanna buy the rear arches for ur car lol!
Freddy - dont worry dude....first sunny day i get im gonna hit her with the car wosh and G3! :D Shes gonna look truly stunning then...wheels im not 100% keen on....looking into possibly selling the wheels and getting some image ones made up....either that or polish the outers and centres on them to a mirror shine! Ill keep you updated on how it goes for sure!
Rich - not sure how big the turbo is tbh. Its the same turbo that that black car youve got now came into the country with (TD07) which according to rx7club is suposedly small for a 20b.... need to find out more specs on it first tbh so I can decide what needs to go on it!
Hamc - oh yes....she will definitely be at rotorstock...right next to my old Blue FD hopefully! :D
bob - Will get some taken once ive tidied it up a bit! They are all factory autos with around 300hp -330hp (depending on what source you read!) standard! The rears are 335/35/17....not cheap i imagine! I think whn the time comes to replace them, ill downsize slightly....maybe down to 300 or something!
Looks like a funky ol\' thing, dude. Jason told me you\'d got a mad Cosmo in the offing, but I didn\'t realise quite how mad! Bodykit\'s got a bit of everything, hasn\'t it, Audi front end, NSX side vents, GTO rear. Surprisingly, it all seems to work well together, though, looks great! Loving the rear tyres, looks like a road roller from behind :Laugh!
What\'s the mpg like? About ten? eight? :Thumbs-up
ooh i just worked out the MPG...not too bad really....filled up the tank and marked out where the marker was before i filled up. Did about 210 miles to get home and used about 58l of fuel (well i put in 60l and it didnt quite use all the 60l) so that would be atleast 16mpg crusing which im pretty damn chuffed with :D
so lovely :god
Looks lovely Jit, looks almost identical to mine except two very interesting solenoids(?) in that engine bay of yours!
Jon
Hi Jon
yes I was kinda wondering what those were too....although i might have a tiny inkling....
Any chance you can email me your number as theres a number of questions id like to ask you! Lsun69@aol.com
Cheers
Jit
Will do Jit, my email is down at the mo but i\'ll let you have my mobile no when its back up.
Jon
Some Engine bay shots for those who asked :D
Ok here goes. Engine bay needs a hell of a lot of tidying up IMO...not happy with the red colour scheme. Thinking i might get the plenum, IC pipes etc mirror polished....any thoughts on that?
OK...Engine Bay:

Lovin\' the interior, just like a UFO SHADO staff car :D! Does the satnav screen gubbins all work?
Is that an early Greddy/RE-A hybrid kit? Awesome piece of kit!
nice GTR in the back mate, i always thought cosmo\'s and r32\'s kinda looked similar. V nice
I was up at Jason\'s today, Jit, so had a wee bit of a trunk at your beast while I was there. It\'s even madder in the metal than in the photos! Excellent thing you have there. Shame the compression looks a bit pony, but I\'m sure your man\'ll have that sorted soon. That blue FD is a bl00dy work of art, he must\'ve given you some deal to wrest that one out of your grip! Would\'ve been a good day out, beaking at beautiful cars like that if my primary tubo hadn\'t shat itself on route!
Theyre both stunners arent they?! Yeah compresion wasnt great....but hey once the new engines in, she\'ll be mint as! And I can finally put my foot down!
As for the blue FD, she is lovely. its a crying shame i couldnt keep both cars as they would have made 2 stunning garden ornaments!
BTW dude, havent had a chance to look at either of those gauges yet! Im hoping to get to it maybe in next 2 weeks sometime.... just been snowed under what with going on holiday etc :D ;)
Don\'t worry about the gauges too much, I\'ve lived without it this long! Besides, it\'d just remind me of how much boost my turbo isnt developing lol. Anyway, I said you\'re welcome to the Amemiya one if you think you can sort it. What you do with it thereafter\'s entirely up to you!
And yeah, they\'re both stunners! I actually lean a bit towards the Cosmo being better, cos it\'s just soooooo mad! You\'ll never pull up next to another one like that at the lights, that\'s for sure. The FD is beautiful, like something out of a Jap magazine, but it\'s not unique, if you know what I mean...just very, very nice.
I couldn\'t bring myself to point out to Jason that the door handles are only imitation carbon, though :Giggle! Meeow!
