I've recently come to the tough decision to sell my beloved Cosmo after much deliberation. I've enjoyed it immensely since first taking delivery of it in March 2014, but circumstances have deemed me necessary to finally let it go.

On to the good stuff. It's a 1990, first year made, 100% US legal and landed on American soil August of last year.

The chassis currently has 94,280KM's (58,582 miles) on it, unknown mileage on the block (see paragraph below), It's originally a tan interior, E-CCS car which has been converted to black interior to match the JDM RX-8 Type-S Recaro seats. The CCS components have all been removed as the CCS touchscreen unit had quit working and I preferred to have a modern touchscreen installed instead that would work 100% of the time. I still have ALL of the tan interior parts as well as all the CCS components should someone feel the need to revert back.

I bought the vehicle already converted to 5 speed, using a FC3S transmission. The swap looks to have been very well executed as it has never given me major issues in my 3 years of ownership from spirited drives, to the occasional HPDE and autocross event.

The engine is also from a later model Cosmo, serial number C694. No worrying about the weaker A-series 20B's, this motor is very healthy and stout.

Air conditioning DOES work, and works great still using the original R12 coolant.

I've used all AMSoil fluids in the car since I've owned it, and have also been premixing AMSoil 2 stroke along with the factory OMP. Since I've been in America I've been mixing 100 octane and 91 octane to try and mimic the fuel it used to run in Japan.

Overall, the car has been absolutely great for me, and hosts a plethora of near impossible to find parts. Below is mod list that I can remember to the best of my knowledge, though I may miss a few things here and there.

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN
FC3S 5 speed gearbox conversion
Exedy Single Clutch
AutoExe intake
PanSpeed titanium exhaust, turbo outlet back, 40 lbs total, 1 of 6 produced
RE Amemiya ECU Type B
Evo 7 intercooler
Carbing radiator cooling plate
13B Cosmo rear diff w/ Mazdaspeed 2-way LSD
Koyo Copper radiator
Samco silicon upper/lower radiator hoses
Aftermarket spark plug wires
SuperNow finned transmission oil pan


CHASSIS/SUSPENSION/BRAKES/WHEELS
Aragosta coilover/Swift Springs
All rear pillowball bushings replaced in Nov 2014
Polyurethane bushings installed in rear arms Dec 2014
R32 GT-R calipers, JZA80 StopTech slotted rotors/Rear brakes: slotted Dixcel rotors
Carbing front strut bar
AutoExe front and rear under chassis braces
Polished R33 GT-R wheels w/ Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires (less than 100 miles on them)
Morimoto XB55 HID ballasts


EXTERIOR
Garage Rock On Produce front air dam
Factory option neon lit side skirts, rear skirts, and wing


INTERIOR
350mm Nardi Steering Wheel
JDM RX-8 Type S Recaro seats (mounted to factory power sliding rails)
GReddy Profec Boost Controller
Defi ZD All-in-one digital gauge
JBR weight shift knob


Off the top of my head that's all I can remember from scanning through pictures.

Now since it is a 25+ year old car, it does have some issues:

-Hood shocks need to be regassed or replaced, both have failed to hold the hood up.
-Paint looks 95% great, but clear is peeling on the front bumper and is fading on the trunk. Trunk also has rust near the middle mounting post of the spoiler. I have a replacement wingless trunk to go with the car.
-ABS and e-brake light occasionally flash on when applying brakes. I've attributed this to the front brake swap, it has zero effect on driveability.
-Driver's side window switched is cracked (extremely common issue), and the driver's side door arm pad has cracked.

Overall the car is in fantastic shape, and has never had a catastrophic failure. I will be giving the car a full claybar, wax and buff this weekend to really bring out the shine. You can follow the progress of the car from the day I took delivery of it here:

Price is $18K obo. This is not a fire sale and I will not entertain low ball offers. I am open to trades plus cash on your end, but I'm very limited to cars I will accept, and I am NOT looking to take over a project car. I am looking for 6 spd BRZ's and E36 or E46 M3's, 5 speed/6 speed only.

Feel free to ask questions and thanks for looking!

It's the anti-thesis that rotaries don't make torque :)

I often explain it the way it accelerates like a Jedi force push, smooth, solid push.

Have you considered putting it up on bring a trailer? Lots of cool oddball stuff like this fetches decent prices on there. Might be worth looking into if you need the cash

Yes I did actually, but after talking to them I decided it wasn't worth the risk. They would only list it if I agreed to a $11,750 reserve price. That was a gamble I wasn't willing to take.

That sucks man, surprised they didnt want to work with you more on it and give you some more leeway, the Cosmo would be nice to see on their site instead of most of the filler on there typically. Glws this wouldve been mine at 20k if I had anywhere near that kind of cash lol

It was sold in May. Also, Japan doesn’t have higher octane fuel than the US, they use a different rating system. Was confused when I found out the Mines tuned ECU on an S13 I was looking at was tuned for 98 octane. 98 in Japan is 93 here.
