Hey no haven't gone for cert yet getting some stuff done first, and I needed a value for insurance as I thought it was worth more than 6k but hey I have no clue so that's why I'm asking the experts

Defs not selling it

1982 HB Cosmo 12a turbo microtech l10s LSD 15x8 brand new try n wheel og old schools wof n reg brand new panel n paint off white n engine rebuild 6g receipts

what would be worth on the market these days ?

Forgot to add interior pic

Im guessing these didn't come factory with black interor? looks like it was brown and previous owner has painted looks good though\

Thought i'd put some better quality pics on here

Everyone loves a good ass shot!

This is a sweet car man wheels going to suit it !

Cheers for feed back guys,

Would like your opinion on louves like on this HB

Yeh? Na? If so where would I get some, would ones from other cars fit ?

Also guys what's the go with Gilmore drives are they worth it ? Are they there just to make it sound different ?

Got really lucky today

Some guy in a surf backed into me, tow ball hit number plate pretty darn lucky I think! no other damage thank god

Well actually I never stated anywhere that it was factory and it is unfortunate that you didn't do research and that I am away and could not talk to you about it. I'm not sure what you want me to do, but I will refund you the certification application cost if you are that worried about it. It cost about 500 to get the guy over from nelson.

Boom looks like we have a victory on our hands, chur I am not usually so perswasive but thanks to all you guys telling me I was in my own right to hit him up well I did and it looks as if he's gonna cough up, the story gets sweeter and sweeter

One small problem he's in Canada, his dad sold it to me on behalf I went and seen him and he knew 'nothing'

That's not to say I'm going to have no troubles in the future though, I was lead to believe it was factory turbo which it isn't and getting a cert is not just a little issue, it cost money and may need work, it's not like a brought a 500 dollar car other wise I would bite my tounge n move on I paid good money for the fact it was 'factory and legal'

My reply

Cheers pal, still getting prepped for paint going back to bare metal guy always seems to be doing something else when I turn up but good things take time and the price is good so can't really complain I just want it done so I can get some tires and start rolling on the mk2s should look lush

The thing is I don't think he ever said it was factory turbo I will let you guys have a the auction and let me know what you think, I took it down to vtnz and asked about it to double check and they confirmed it was ment to be a 2.0 piston from factory

that's interesting, I have had no issue having insurance or warrants since I have owned it.

You should not have any problems with it like I had, it just depends on who you are dealing with. Im not sure what you would want to do, but again that fact never surfaced for me and I had owned it for a year.4 hours ago · 

that was his reply. whats the best i can do from here ?

Choice video pal, makes me really want to get something similar for my 120y is it much hassle setting them up and getting them running? Much different fuel use ??

Hey mate I have a slight problem with the Cosmo, I have found it is not certified for the rotary conversion as I believed it was factory turbo and legal, I can't get insurance or a warrant with it being un certified, what's the go? I brought it in good faith thinking it was legal

Looking forward to hearing from you, cheers Damian

This is what I emailed the previous owner not sure if I worded It right but touch wood he's not a wanker, awaiting reply will post when he does

Yes it will need a cert, just because the previous owner was lucky/knew someone who would turn a blind eye and give it a wof doesn't mean anything really

Am I in any position to question the old owner or is it solely my problem now to get it certified as he never told me about it?

Hey I just brought. A car with current wof n reg found it has a rotary engine while the rego number shows it having a 2L piston, the previous owner thought it was factory and never had problems getting wof do I have to get a cert ?

I am going to approach the previous owner tomorrow wish me luck, hoping to get $$ for cert costs not being too optimistic tho

And this is the engine tag can anyone help with regarding the motor/shell etc

Also me needs to lower the front I think and since it looks like I'm having to get a cert would my best bet be adjusties? Well only be used for street use.. Do they make Cosmo ones?

Thoughts?
