Man...It will always be painful to look at pics of a chopped up Eunos Cosmo... At least many of those parts may find themselves into your Cosmo...
One can only hope its engine has found its way into something like this:

Antoine,
Thanks for the pics! I now have a spare set of face plate and going to see if I can modify and do soemthing similar to what you did.. I think originally the bottom part is for 1 1/2 din.. So I need to get rid of that 1/2 din space.. But your guy did a fantastic job!

Herblenny said:Oh, I'm still trying to get in touch with RE-A about getting one of those steering column pod. Do you have better access than I do with RE-A?? I've emailed Inukai like 3-4 times about the pod and no response...
Weird...I sent Inukai an reminder email and 30 mins later he responded back. He said he will check to see if he has one of those steering wheel pod in stock.
Its kind of weird to drive on the RH side.. but you get used to it. Now its almost a second nature and I think about it less and less..
I found a source to get new belts and such so I'll be ordering that probably today.

I have a company here in Oz make belts specifically to suit the Cosmo in the correct colours too. They are called Autoliv. Melbourne, Australia.
If you are interested in them then I'll track down the part numbers for you. They made both front & rear "Lap-sash" belts.

I like the car but, I have to ask, what kind of gas mileage do you get with a 300+ HP rotary?
Engine from that car is going into an REPU. It should be an interesting car/truck.
you realize takata and autoliv are mazda's OEM seat belt suppliers right?I have a company here in Oz make belts specifically to suit the Cosmo in the correct colours too. They are called Autoliv. Melbourne, Australia.

You can see the custom brackets at the top of the pic in this shot below.
This shot below shows the custom "Type-E" buckle installed
This shot below shows the custom "Type-S" buckle installed
This shot below shows the custom colouring of the Type-S belts installed.
Autoliv manufactured belts & buckles for DMRH 10 per order. THis brought the price down to near $300 per set (4x belts). Individual orders ment the pricing was near $600 per set.

Beautiful Fd you have there.(2thumbs)
The manifold looks great in black... I'm tempted to paint mine now
I guess you could get it painted.. But I think powder coating is worth the money as its more durable. I've painted stuff back when and I always regretted!
I got my NEW Cosmo parts today..
new door rubbers, badges, gaskets, etc..
Here is a picture of the Cosmo when I first got it and with the Forgeline wheels
I really want a Cosmo. I need to do some resaerch on maybe getting one registered.
"That's where 3 Rotor comes from".
Thanks!
One more..
Do you know of any company that makes aftermarket exhaust systems for the cosmo? I'm either looking for one that's already made or make it custom... Just wanted to see if you knew of a good reputable company..
