Turbo Rotary Mazda Minitruck Build
- Thread starter mymmeryloss

Yep he was asking six, but with all that was wrong with the car i told him it was only worth 2 gs to me. I didnt care either way if i got the car or not but told him he was gonna end up getting his money out of me one way or another by me working on his truck.
I even told him he could keep his system and the rotas with new tires as long as it had steelies on it with decent tires, but he said it was all good.
The money i gave him is going to go straight into the truck i believe. We r building mounts for a chevy 350 and i will be bagging his truck and body dropping it for him. These services at a shop will cost in excess of $1500 a piece just in labor.
I also explained to him the prices i sold some of my nicer civics for over 5 years ago which to me makes me feel like i still over paid for this car.
Its a 92 civic people. It doesnt matter whats done to it. It has body damage, an incomplete interior, an ebay turbo kit and a b16 with a bad tranny. The way i look at it is i am doing him a huge favor in hoping the car will last me 6 months...

I am pretty good at finding deals on cars and talking people down. But i also will buy complete crap with intentions on fixing it and flipping it. But usually just flip non running vehicles for a couple hundred dollar profit lol.
I have a problem. Im a car guy and i cant refuse an import of any kind. I love my rotaries and my hondas. I hate red cars, but my last two cars have been red. Im just a sucker for a neglected car that needs love and i would hate to see some of these cars go to a teenage kid.
If this rhd hatch had gone to most of the import kids in this town it wouldve been wrecked in a week.
I will drive this like a grandma. It will hardly see the turbo or vtec.
Im sure i will do upgrades as ive already sourced some things for it but i dont want this car to take away from my minitruck even though i will be building another truck for a few weeks. It should all work out in the end!

The hatch is good enough as long as it gets me back and forth from work.
Then maybe in a month or two i will start upgrading. It just needs washed and waxed... Bad!

damn, that's very affordable man!
Alright well BOT...
I got in my reducer coupler from the greddy power chamber to intercooler piping and now i need another tbolt clamp since all i got was 2.5" ones. I need a 3" one if somebody wants to ship me one...
If not i guess ill go on ebay and see how much it is for just one...

Too bad its custom and will take a month to make...

Nice, get that truck done so you can focus on the civic 
Forget the civic.. I want to see this truck done a HELL of a lot more than the civic! This is probably one of the coolest builds on the forum considering its NOT EVEN A CIVIC and Chris STILL keeps us updated about every little thing. This truck by far has more work into it (especially custom) than most other builds on here.Nice, get that truck done so you can focus on the civic
Once you finish the truck, I think that by default due to all the hard work/custom stuff; your truck should automatically become the next featured ride. There should be a nice large picture of your truck on the homepage along with a feature article... someone, please make this happen!
I will drive the civic while i build the truck. Then i will probably sell the civic for another project. That is if i keep it long enough..Nice, get that truck done so you can focus on the civic

This truck does have a lot of custom s**t, and i would be honored to have a featured ride on here!
Lets focus on getting this truck done first!

Couple pics. Getting ready to go drop this off at the freight center!
On a pallet and banded up at work...
Shrink wrapped. Hopefully this guy doesnt back out on me. I think we have both been burned before so we r both being super cautious...
Hopefully i can order my big money piece before i go to north dakota!

im wondering what it could be... im sure when i see what it is your getting i will slap myself.
U will probably think its overkill, but i cant pass up the deal and the quality of worksmanship...
Bad thing is i have to take a shít load of measurements before i can order it and i obviously cant take measurements while im 3 states away from my truck lol.
Its just a waiting game now, but im concentrating on getting ahead on bills and such and hopefully make a baller check up here to get everything i need to get my truck running!
So basically will be brainstorming and just chatting in this thread til i get home. So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to throw them out there!
