1976 Mazda Cosmo (RX5) with parts car

lorenz93fd3s · 04-10-2014, 07:28 AM

Hi i am Lorenzo,
I live in Imola, Italy.
I own a 93 silver FD since 2005; In 2007 Diego Finelli has performed a total rebuilding of the engine, electrical system and vacuum circuit including sleeves.

I'm looking for a Cosmo AP/CD/121/RX5 or a 20b Eunos Cosmo; I am very passionate about these cars.

QUESTIONS:
The green/grey is still for sale? The rust is present only in the doors? The windshield is slightly damaged or is completely unusable? I did not understand what the problem has steering?

Thanks

Hi Lorenzo,
Yes the car is available.
Correct the rust is only on the doors but the parts car (brown car) has good doors. The windshield on the grey car is still good, it has a crack but was repaired by crackmasters so it wont get worse. The cars come with 2 new windshields. There is nothing wrong with the steering on the grey car.

It is the parts car (brown car), the frame rotted next to the steering box but this can be fixed with a fish plate.

Ok!

As for the engine, i understand that no particular problems and that you replaced various components, but..The engine has never been rebuilding(apex seals, housing, rotors)?

The purchase of the car, also includes other components? Includes components taken frod brown cosmo?

Perhaps you can arrange shipping? Otherwise i can organize it..

Thanks

Lorenzo

The engine was fully rebuilt and ported all new seals and springs as stated, it has 3mm 2pc ceramic apex seals. End plates ground, lapped and re-nitrided. Housings were mint no flaking or peeling. Custom ceramic coated header with long primaries. MSD with blaster coils, 51 IDA carb, IC reg alternator, locked out breakerless distributor, OML wires. It's all there in the list.

The brown car is a parts car and comes with it. With all that is included engine wise you are basically getting the 2 cars for free. Surprised this isn't gone long ago

It's probably best if you take care of the shipping

I think I will have to buy one of these one day.

Any reason you are not using the now redundant but less resistive leading spark path through the dizzy for trailing? Only has to jump one gap going down centre post with carbon contact to dizzy rotor. I realize it might not make much difference to spark quality with the (assuming) MSD CDI but it might make your HT leads last a bit longer, it certainly won't hurt.
