loveoldrice Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 That thing is pretty cool !!! Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!those a rare. Paint it and put some ROTAs on there!!!!!! Link to comment
PERTANO Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 The plan is for 17x9.5 rear and 17x8 Rota RB-R's if I keep the car. But I really need a truck to tow my RX3 to the track. I have a little two wheel dolly to pull and was thinking that blue 620 would be perfect for the job. If not I can just put a tow hitch on the cosmo. But the car is a nice one. I've been driving it every day this week just because it's been sitting for the past couple weeks. Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 its a unibody I dont recommend putting a hitch on those cars. get a chevy/ford as a tow rig. Even a 620 as a tow rig isnt going to cut it just get a big truck, dont ruin that Cosmo!!!!!!!!! I rate the early Rotaries up there with the 510s as COOL cars rotaries have not torq not a good tow rig my buddy has a RX3 SP intact!!!! found for 600$ Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've always wanted an older cosmo and I'd so stuff a 20B into it too bad I've got my roadster. Link to comment
hitch Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Its been one of my favorite cars for ever. If you need a good tow vehicle, check out my add in east coast classifieds. Link to comment
PERTANO Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I won't ruin the car by towing with it. Plus I already have a big truck. I just thought it would be cool to pull my RX3 with a laid out 620 or maybe even a REPU. I have one of those as well. I know about rotaries though. I also have two RX-3s in the garage. :D:D But I just want to be that guy that rolls up to the track pulling a vintage japanese car with an equally vintage japanese truck. Nothing wrong with that right? maybe later a braked upgrade and a SR20 swap??? Here is a picture of my 61 Unibody F100. Everyone told me not to tow with this too. But it does okay. Just stopping gets sketchy sometimes. I need to upgrade the brakes eventually. Link to comment
b210in Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 what a cool car, it looks like the bastard child of an amc matador and a 75 cutlass. Link to comment

Glides Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Think i'm about to put my 521 up for sale. One of the most solid one's i've ever seen. Not sure how good of a tow vehicle it would be though. Every bit of patina is surface. Zero rot. Sad to say though, I missed the photos of the Cosmo and the location of it. :( Edited September 16, 2009 by Glides Link to comment
PERTANO Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Glides, Thanks for the offer, but the logistics of this deal wouldn't work for me. I'm in So-Cal. Your little truck is cool though. If you were closer I'm sure we could have worked something out. Here is a picture of my Cosmo though. If anyone is interested in it. PM me I'm sure we can work something out on it. I'd love a 73?/74 610 or a 620 truck. Link to comment

I thought this too!!!!!!!in macthing color yellow put a hitch on my yellow 510 and tow my yamaha 2 stroke RZ350 around also that Cosmo and RX#s are the shit. keep them. Whne I was in Australia those thing are wicked and they had a sound like a chain saw(at least the pumped up Aussies ones that I heard. Im a big RX4 Fan Edited September 16, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Link to comment
PERTANO Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 No doubt that they sound amazing. But I've always compared them to 2-Stroke motorcycles. But its the bridgeports that sound pretty mean. Or as the Aussies say Bridgy. I ran a D-Bridge in my old 74 RX-4 that I sold thanks to some shoddy work by a local shop on the engine. I've now built a j-bridge for my current rx-3. This motor sounds amazing and I just need a few more thing to get that one on the track. The streetport in the cosmo sounds good though. Once I put a good exhaust on it, you'll definately get a nice brap out of it too. Link to comment
