Mazda Cosmo

[ZilviaKid]

Hey, im really starting to fall in love with rotary powered cars. And although i like rx7's theres another one that really kicks ass. The COSMO! 2 liters of ass kicking fury.

I have no idea how terrible these cars are/can be. Im assuming that it would be basically impossible to get it serviced, and parts would cost about 3 times more then they do for my coupe. But id like to hear other peoples opinions on them. Know someone that owns one? How is it?

Ps i live in canada so yes i can get it registered.

Picture related, its baller as fuck

[yokotas13]

no
just fucking no
they are rare, but as nice as an rx7.

[BustedS13]

it feels like 4chan threw up in here

also, rotary=aids. it's just another dumb thing that a manufacturer won't let die. like Sony Memory Sticks

[steve_o1989]

If you are wanting a rotary so badly just through the 20b in an rx7. That would be way cooler.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i like rotaries. cosmos.... not so much. it's just another fat ass 90's japanese coupe. not exactly baller. and anyways, it's a rotary. if you don't have any luck, you'll spend most of your time trying to look baller in your driveway.

also, baller:

wow that's a sweet s13

oh wait it's some gay mazda

[240trainee]

Motor is cool, chassis is pretty stupid.

imo.

[Icy13]

ditto. If you are going rotary go with an rx7. Sexy, availibvle, massive aftermarket support, baller!

cosmo: rare, not as sexy, big engine, cant find working parts for less than your first born, oh and mostly fugly. only thing i can find to like is the 'muscle' of the rear quarter panel.

oh, and rare does not equal good. Unless this is Magic: the Gathering (come one people, i know some of you get the reference... :) )

done

[BustedS13]

rare does not equal good unless it's a holofoil wigglytuff
then it's shutting your shit down

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

buy one of these cosmos:

[IIIXziuR]

I guess it can look cool if done properly.
I barely have ever seen any pictures of them.
That motor is cool though, yes rotary.

So they take the only good part of the car and leave you with a 2 door 90's taurus?

[ZilviaKid]

ok thanks for the imput. i just figured it would be a cool cruiser.

someone needs to do an NA 20b into an s13. that puppy will fly.

Send me the motor, I'll get it done no problem.

Or I'll throw it in my E30 if you want.

Just ship me the engine.
