thanks for the coments guys, im really happy with the car I was going for a rx-8 but decided to get this instead, Im really happy with my desicion and save a couple of $$.

one quetion I have, what this cars dynos at the wheel, because I have race 2 cars one was a 1999 lexus GS 430 the other was a 2006 E55, the GS was much slower and the e55 beat me but not by much.

Yes custom dash, but thats the easy part, the hard part was getting all the heater and air condition things to work right , not to mention the steering rack and all the mechanical stuff, it took about 120 days of work to get everything right

u da man..... i should have visited u when i was in D.R last summer... i just got back from trinidad a few weeks ago and got another insane ride in my friend's 20b JC...this last test drive was done on the new FEED ECU with a little more boost than stock, also the shifts feel a little firmer too...the torque in 2nd & 3rd just pins u into that seat, this thing is amazingly quick for a stock motor and a heavy *** car.... BTW if ur looking for brake pads for the cosmo, they use the same rear pads as the MPV and the front pads are off a small car call the LANTIS...the lantis is small like a protege and the pads are available in trinidad (closer to you than japan)
also front brakes can be upgraded to rx8 rotors and FD calipers & brackets... inside of rotors needs a little milling to fit the cosmo hub, buts its nothing to difficult..
my friend just purchased a single turbo manifold from CLR in florida, so it'll be going single very soon... good luck with ur car and i hope to be a member of the cosmo club very soon ;-)

here are some pics from trini.. notice the factory fitted body kit 8-)

good looking car you have there in trini, I have the factory spoiler kit but I think the car looks so good stock I might not put it on

The brakes urgently need to be upgraded, they fitted this car with brakes that would normally go on a mazda3 or a protoge
