Anybody got experiences on them? I know that base models have the 13B engine but i was wondering how are they to live with and what's the 20B engine like apart from more thirsty

scooby_si

they are a bit like rocking horse poo even in Japan i believe & as you say most are just with the ole twin rotor. The 20b is from what i've read an absolute dream of a lush Q car bit of a M5 without the image! lol although that that is a totally cr4p cpmparison as well not even the same league!
Chap local to me has got his hands on one & it's fair to say many people will be dribbling on it at the shows. Here's thread about his:http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...ighlight=cosmo & if you have any other questions then MRC is the place to do it.
Have you got yer eye on one or something? Confess tell uncle Simon all about it lol
Si (mod on MRC so be nice lol)

Uncle Simon, i registered some hours ago but i got the message that my registration was in the moderating queue, haven't checked since though.

I'm just toying with the idea of a Rotary as my next car and the Cosmo is stunning imho...

If I find a Cosmo, you'll be the first to know

Fair play mate you know it makes sense sorry about any delay getting you registered it's all done manually & there's only a few that have access at the minute but fear not it's worth the wait....
I do now luv rotaries thou they are very different & despite all the scare stories much fun IMO

the best comparison I can make is a jag XJS ... big, thirsty, but superbly comfortable and fast as ****

There were a couple of these at Japfest, I wandered what the **** they were.

Simon, i'd like to ask some questions regarding the servicing/rebuilding costs of the 13B. I dunno which one is the right sub-forum in the club to do this

scooby_si

Dont be shy XT just plough in there, guess general technical or help on buying kinda section maybe best or possibly even the cosmo/other/old skewl rotary section, i dunno myself but dont be too scared it's mostly the twin turbos 13b on the 3rd gen which (dont quote me on this as it's one of my specialist subjects to get thigns wrong) have helped lead to the reputation of them needing a rebuild every 60k although many go further & a few shorter i know many of the none turbo'd previous rotaries go well into 6 figures.... Not sooo expensive to fix anyway really & good excuse to get ported & stuff. Anyway enough of my rambling wot neck of the woods are you XT?
