Title: Manual Cosmos
Post by: J4P RX on July 15, 2004, 01:06:47 PM
Are there any?

I didnt think there was but found a really old drift vid on my pc last night and theres one in it.  I assume it must be manual, it looked like it drove like a manual too.

Having a drift Cosmo would rock so much :D

Manual conversion of a 13B Cosmo is relatively straight forward.

You use a series-5 (89-91) RX-7 box, custom make the gearbox crossmember & modify the tail shaft to suit.

Use a GC-626 (83-85) pedal assembly & a series-5 clutch master cylinder.... BINGO

Now, with the ABS resorvior in the way & the 50% greater torque output. Using the same box on a 20B version could be asking for drama. Thats where further customization comes into play
