[pompis80]

this guy cant drive for shit!

[HarryCHAMBZ]

too much power for his tire set up and weight of the car. sounds awesome tho.

[turfguy87]

well good God anyone knows if you want traction get rid of the stupid low profile tires....

nice hitting everything on the track too- once you get off the gas, pick a lane & stay in it dipshit....

[willzer808]

what the fuck is a tranny?! In my country a tranny is something else :-O Whatever it is in yours I don't know...

[SiennaMaster]

@willzer808 "tranny" is short for transmission

[510indio]

[Edgardocelectric007]

I like it .....looking to do project of a 3 rotor so lloking for all the info i can get can anyone help me on this task Thanks

[VictrolaJazz]

I remember the middle window--I think it was 1975 I ran out of gas during a test drive in Waco, TX.

[gav240z]

This guy helped film DIY RE videos. So he's a good bloke. You may balk at the money he spent but most of you guys wouldn't know what it takes to build a true show car. It's damn expensive especially when the 20B was much newer.

[Brendon00000]

no way it costed $100,000 not over $50,000 to mod one of these to the max

[22ness0hayden]

@Brendon00000 Why are people making the same stupid comment on this video? This video is very old so the prices aren't accurate anymore, but back in the day in $NZD100,000 is what it cost to build!

[Brendon00000]

like the 20b hate the heavy cosmo, put it in a r100 and ypu have a rocket

[musclekid13]

I don't know what kind of dollars they are using, but in America I could do it all for 12 grand

[mpalm887]

@musclekid13 You mean labor only right? Engine has to be another 10 at least.

[musclekid13]

@mpalm887 No you can pick up the engine for around 4,000 I have found them for cheaper than that too.

[MethanolHead94]

Shit driver, once your in the next lane, that means runs over, not get back on the power

[teplungor]

Ive been in this car it is ridiculously quick. I h ad a RS Cosworth at the time and it felt like a hillman hunter in comparason. So fast, good one Lance!

[C3H8E30]

WoooT! The really dodgy bit filmed at the track where he hit the oil cooler was filmed on my camera!

[GAG4IT]

yeah... 100k is alot to pour into a rotary... ESPECIALLY when when no one had attempted this build/conversion into a cosmo.. Still my in my top 5 of Rotaz! Go Kiwi Rotariez lol

[3rotorstarlet]

Sick Build!!! 3 rotor build way ahead of its time, this video is over 10 years old....much respect...

[j33vz123]

By radical he means waste of money! Can anybody see where 100k went??? I sure can't!

[TyLiermann]

This was in the dark ages of the J-Spec tuner. Before fast and the furious, ebay, need for speed underground etc. It always costs at least twice as much money to do something no one has before.

[SkaterkingJOF]

@j33vz123 Ya, Ever seen anything like this car. Infact have you ever dirven a rotary? If you have and still stick with your comment, You must be a V8 lover...

[BigDiikPlayrrr]

complete shit box

[SkaterkingJOF]

@BigDiikPlayrrr Just cuz its not a big dick for you doesn't mean its a shit box. 

[tsiris1980]

i wish i had this motor in my 2008 cosmo lol

[simdes13]

nice proyect bro

[SHY910]

100 grand what the fuck thats a joke

[therotorrooter]

That only ends up being 65,580 USD for what its worth in todays market, probably less 10 or 12 yrs ago when this was made. Stuff is a lot more expensive in NZ than it is in the states.

[LethalCssPlayer]

Also 65,580 USD is about 92,000 NZD and yeah at that time would of been more.

[trxspirit]

until you get in a JC cosmo and realizing that it has the first of everything in its time

it's worth the money

[him89]

@SHY910 0:43 and he still can't drive it.

[22ness0hayden]

@SHY910 This video is fucking years old dumbass

[Swiss20011]

@SHY910 Back then the exchange rate was around 0.39 to an american dollar, so do the math and itès not that much for an all out built car, it's not a backyard build!

[SLIDE2slide44]

dam that is an old car featured in new zealand performance car magazine back in 1997 or 1998

[gsrangelmon]

i just got (2 months ago) DIY 13b dvd and that guy is the host lol he looks so much younger and skinyer lol

[nvmyutube]

thats an old fast fours video i think i have it somwhere lol

[Mazdas247]

I've seen this Cosmo on the net a few times...It's great to see a professionally made video documenting this beast...Thanks for sharing it! :D
