Bored now, on ebay

So i need a clear out of cars and need to raise funds so i'm putting up my cosmo for sale.

Its a 1991 (i think, will have to double check on the paperwork) Eunos Cosmo, It was a 13b but has since had the engine removed when my mate owned it and put it in his montrose, So its a complete car with no engine.

I was planning to use a 1uz-fe lexus v8 (which i might also sell if interested) and auto box and daily it, but as said, plans have changed and i'm down sizing my collection.

Rust wise its mint, very very clean car, it was imported in 2006 but is still not registered, i have all of the japanese and english papers and the jumvea so have everything for it to be registered.

Its very comfy and has a old school tv, electric side bolsters in the seats and a wooden steering wheel.

It would make a awesome drift/track car project as its different and not really seen that often, Its very much like a soarer, but a mazda, and originally had triangles powering it.

Pics say it all really, if you want to come and have a look drop me a pm.

The car is in Billingshurst, West Sussex, and obviously will have to be trailered away.

£650

So i'm looking at getting some new pads for the fc, it will be a drift car and only a drift car, driftworks do rear Master Bite pads for the fd but i didn't know if they would fit the fc rear brakes, as i want to rear to lock when i want them to.

Cheers

So I might have just bout a 20b Cosmo with no engine, the question I want to ask is what do they have in common the fc\'s etc...
My plan is a 1uz-fe Lexus v8 on twin turbos with a r154 supra box.
What are the engine mount positions like in the Cosmo to rx\'s and what diff do they have and what power can they hold up to, can you swap the innards out for a 2 way rx kaaz diff?

So the time has come to sell my RX7 FC.

I’ve owned this from the beginning of 2014. I’m keen on drifting and it was my intention to fit a roll cage and some coilovers and turn it into my new drift car, however, after picking it up, I realised I just could not do that to this car as it was far too clean and original . So I bought another FC vert for the drift project and decided to recondition this one to resell.

The car:

It’s a 1986 Series 4 Savanna RX7 Turbo GT Limited (one of the very first FC’s and a Jap import)

It was bought new by a British lady living in Japan in 1986. She returned to Britain 6 months later and brought the car with her, importing it at the end of 1986. She used it around the Windsor area where she was living at the time. In 1999 it was laid up in her garage on her estate in Oxford.

Nearly 15 years later on (end 2013) she asked her gardener to sell the car for her as it had just been sitting in her garage for so long. It was sold to a guy in Rugby who planned to put it back on the road but he couldn’t get it running properly and gave up on the project and sold it on, which is when I came in.

When I got it, it was in a non running state.  I replaced the fuel pump which solved the problem. It now starts first turn of the key, even if it is sat for some time, also starts fine hot or cold. Those who know the FC’s know they can be problematic with starting and a first time starter is a sure sign of a good engine.

I have gone over the whole car cleaning up and fixing up lot’s of little odd’s and sod’s including replacing the clutch hydraulics and bleeding the brakes and  an engine bay clean. The car went straight through its mot with no advisories, so it now has a 12 month ticket on it and can be driven away (but you’ll need to tax it, as is still on a sorn, and insure it)

It comes with the original Japanese owners manual, original deep pile mats, original parcel shelf and the oem flare, the car is completely original and has no modifications to it. It also has some original optional extras - electronic heater controls, air con, original Jap radio graphic equalizer that works and is very cool. Also has ABS and Auto Adjusting Suspension.

It has just over 43,000kms on the clock (still reads in kmph) which converts to just over 27,000 miles. It’s lived in a dry garage for the whole of its life and so it has no rust at all, it has a few minor dents, most of which can be seen in the photos. To be honest, the paintwork isn’t perfect and I have replaced the passenger wing and door as the originals had some damage. There is a slight colour mismatch between the original red and the replaced parts and the GT Limited sticker on the passenger side wing is missing. Two spare Savanna wings are included in the sale (side repeaters in different place to uk cars).

I have tried to be totally honest about the RX7, it’s not a mint car but is in exceptionally good condition for its age and most importantly has no rot (the killer for most FCs). Even more importantly it has a very healthy low mileage engine and everything is standard and so this car is likely to be a future classic (I know in years to come I will regret passing it on).

If you want to know any other information or want to come and have a look just drop me a message.

2nd generation RX-7's / Fc t2 vert cutting out

I\'m back, after a couple of years of the fc egi going i\'ve now bought a savanna turbo and TII vert.

I\'ve been having fun and games trying to get the vert to run but i diagnosed the fuel pump was not getting enough pressure, so i chuck on a egi pump i had laying around it i managed to get it to fire up, the only thing is that it couts out after about 4-5 seconds of running.
I\'m putting it down to due to it being a egi pump its not getting enough fuel and just cutting out.

It needs a new pump obviously but wanted to ask your opinions first.

I\'m going to try and up the power a little on it (got hks filter and turbo back system with no cat or air pump) and will shove a hks fcd on it to stop it leaning out the rear rotor.

I didn\'t turn it off in this vid, it died it self.
