Rotorhead87's Cosmo 13B-RE FC3S build-up

[rotorhead87]

Okay everyone another update:

Hmm...if I can recall I been driving the car for a good 4 or 5 monthes; I swear those were the best driving days of my life so far. The car never flooded on me or never gave me any trouble, except for a bad battery. She always started for me on the first crank. Anyways I saved up over the holiday season working my ass off at the nursing home. Eventually I saved up just enough for another upgrade on my baby. One night just checkin out stuff on ebay trying to figure out what next to purchase. Well I happened to run into a beautiful set of wheels I just had to have. Anyways I went ahead and got them with my mind set on "Only the best." Here's some pictures.

Mazdaspeed MS-01 17''x8'' +35 and +30 offset


Lucky me again JR Fabrication and Performance had a set of used tires that I could have for free. Kumho Supra 712 225/40/17 and Kumho MX 255/40/17. I took the center caps off because of the fear of losing them due to heavy construction and thieves. Oh and also figured it would look nicer to clean up the 20 year old calipers and paint them up.






Enjoy everyone theres much more updates to go!!

"rx7 vinnie"-I really appreciate for your offer of help, but like I said the motor is pretty much dropped into the bay and near completion. I'll have the pictures up eventually I just wanted to make the thread in order of occurrence.Your project is looking pretty good also its nice to see another RE motor out there. I look forward to seeing your FC progress, so I'll keep in tune.

Is that exhaust manifold ceramic coated?

Anyways to "need RX7" - Thanks for the compliment...It's crazy to port the Cosmo motor after you compare the 13B-RE intake runners to the 13B-REW and S4/S5 intake runners.There is a quite noticable difference in size between all the other motors. Anyways I could have just left it stock but me being me I just had to have JR Fabrication put a large streetport in search of extra power.
