i drove it HP feels fine video shows it also!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great!!!!!!!1111

congratulations, you just killed 2 tires. You're cool.

hehe.. I can see that this will be the first of many videos to come. With the amount a new interest in the car and new members, the tenor of the board has certainly changed.

much props!!! been dying to see someone to that to their 8!!..good shit!

Daaaamn.. that car has paper plates still dont it??

That better not be a test drive at some dealer.. If it's your beast, then more power to ya.. hahah

this is a car it is not a rolls royce its a mazda. it was designed to be driven. honestly it took a bit to figure out how to get it to do a nice burnout. i did the first one. my mechanic who owns the car did the second one on video. exactly it is his car and he can do what he wants. if nobody beats on the car they will never break. or will they. some of you are scared to figure out what limits are but i guess you should be. anyway this was a basic test to see how close it is to an FD if it will break a PPF or diff during a hard launch. you guys have no idea who i am but i have a FD and that is my mechanics car and testbed for the shop. anyway enjoy the videos and stop being pussies with the damn rx8's :)

it was meant to be driven? By that you mean spinning it around like an a$$hole? I don't care if it's you or your mechanic, it's pretty stupid. It's meant to be driven FORWARDS.

Good job Vosko.

As one of our top touring car drivers used to say, "drive it like you stole it"

There is nothing more pathetic than seeing cars designed to go fast, being driven like pussies, and proud of how good their fuel consumption is and how long their tyres last. Wimps.

Lucky all the smoke was there to hide his embarrassment. :p

You guys need to chill abit on this forum.
First of all the mechanic and owner of the car is one of the best rotary mechanics on the east coast. He has built scores of 10sec and faster drag cars, as well as 10 sec street cars. I think he knows what he is doing.

Second, What is the big deal about doing a burnout? I could see if it was in the rain, then yeah "woo hoo" any car can spin tires in the rain. But on dry ground it's nice to see what a newly designed car can handle.
Third, as far as "break-in" goes, that is a load of crap. I can say this from experience. This same mechanic we are talking about built the engine for my FD. Big ports, pinned, ect. ANYWAY. I got on the car hard from the beginning, and dynoed it with 200 miles on it. Guess what???? STILL GOING STRONG. The whole key is doing a good job building the engine, then comes tuning. 90% of RX-7's that blow engines are caused by poor tuning. The rotary engine does not like to detonate, and can not handle it like a piston engine can.

So to all the haters, sell your rx-8 now to some one who will actually use the car to it's full potential and enjoy it.

Damn! that's some phat ass sick!!! I'll do that in the dealership as soon as I get my hands on my 8... infront of the Sales Manager!!!

ya gotta admit it was a prettty sweet burnout, whatever the ramifications or what you think of doing one. how many gears did he run through? but ohh the tires! i guess since he is such a highly prized mechanic he can afford them. :) i don'y have that kinda money to lose right now, i'm looking to buy a house this month.

RX8Lover you've got to be kidding me! You sound like the kind of guy that drives slow in the fast lane, speeds up when someone tries to pass, and throws a hissy fit when jiffy lube charges you 30 bucks to change your oil. Buy a geo metro and leave burning rubber to real car enthusiast.

You can always tell a pioneer by the arrows in his back.

Its just a burnout---relax

Good job! I cant wait for our next speed trials!!!!!!!! Ive been tempted to do a half ass burnout myself (yours was good mine would be half ass lol i still have the fear factor on me till 3k miles only 300 more to go tho !!!) hehe but your right this car was made to be driven and its no grocery getter either.

I dont think anyone really has a concept of what this car is capable of yet and many i believe will be pleasently suprised.

more power to yer... :)

Let me guess, this is one of the guys griping about his gas mileage.:)

gas mileage if you care about gas mileage you shouldn't own a sports END OF STORY!

anyway. there will be much more pix and video of the car. like i said the only way to learn is to crack a few eggs. in the end everyone benefits. just think about it! what i learned from racing my FD has made A LOT of other fd's more reliable and keep them running on the streets and tracks. anyway you guys need to not be so full of yourself and just enjoy the damn car. i only drove for it a combined 10 minutes and 2 minutes was doing a NASTY burnout. it was great. also doing a burnout is great practice for drag racing.......doubt any of you guys will do that you are too scared :)

I'm still curious what the wheels were doused in. You can plainly see the runoff in the foreground - was it just water?

*yawn*

"Oh how terrible, he burnout his tyres"

Come on! If you can't enjoy a little messing around like this in a *performance* car, then what kind of petrolhead are you?? Perhaps you should sell your RX-8, and buy a nice electic car..,. oh and hug some trees whilst you're at it :p ;)

I know I'll be having some "fun" in my RX-8 when i get it :D (well, my other cars have to put up with it - so I don't see why the RX should get a break :p)



-andy-

Yes I know sixspeed and I've seen you do it with the Tuscan!!!!

What.. like this (http://www.sixspeed.nildram.co.uk/TheBeast/hehe.jpg)?


:D


-andy-

You can hear it bouncing of the rev limiter.......whats that 9500 RPM?

we put down a little water but i don't think it really helped.

rev limiter is around 9500rpm i believe, i bounced it quite a few times when i was driving and when i did the first burnout :)

... or just not redneck enough

So what's going on in that burnout, somebody break it down "the anatomy" of the procedure. The 3rd break light was on, so what's up with that, parking brake or what.....????

normally you heel toe brake and gas and drop the clutch at the rev limiter.......not just that in this car. you have to turn off the DSC. you have to get em spinning then let off the gas a little to keep em spinning. its actually quite a bitch to do!

vosko, dont listen to those hata's.


its a damn fine job ur doing. keep it up. maybe some time u can do a top speed run and tell us how fast the rx8 can really go:D


btw i cant access that nopistons link, need an account

so sign up. we have more *active* rx8 and rx7 owners that actually goto meets, drag race, drift,road race you name it someone does it on there.......slightly more interesting than bitching about missing 8 HP :)

Wow, some of you guys might be better off driving station wagons from the looks of it.

I never thought I would see someone flamin for doing burnouts on a sport car enthusiast board! http://www.nopistons.com/forums/html/emoticons/post-1-1047683785.gif

Keep driving them hard Vosko other wise how will some of these guys know where their cars breaking points are.
I guess you suggest that we all do the speed limit too huh?
LOL

Bleach is used to make smokey burn outs... Especially like that...

Congrats, you live a sedentary lifestyle. His car certainly isn't going backwards, LOL. Also, look at the guy with the TVR, he know's what's up too, having a little fun never killed anyone.

that was just a little bit of water which i don't even think was necessary. why would there be bleach at the shop ? so we can wash our socks ? ;)

i can do dry burnouts no problem. its alot easier when you have some torque. yeah this is me and my car

http://www.vosko.net/media/burnout/fdburnout-2.wmv

:)

Umm. Why not try this? You all got warranty. Like dealership will really know what u did to it. So if u mess up transmission, you guys have powertrain warranty. :D

AWESOME VID. Thanks

i am willing to bet 95% of the people that have rx8's can't even do it!!!!

... drag racing excites me about as much as pulling out of my driveway onto a 55mph highway

I bought a sports car to go through the twisties and autox. If I wanted to drag race and do big burnouts I would have spent the extra $3k and bought a Cobra and been able to do some impressive burnouts.

heh. Would this work on automatic? like if you hold the brake a bit and then push the gas all he way, and like release a brake then step on it again, and so on....

Vosko,

nice work, I'm willing to say I'm in the 95% who can't becuase I never tried. But I don't mind watching others do it. I remembered the first Japan comerical had a burnout in the RX8 doing pirouettes. For those who don't remember, the link is below. Maybe when my tires are getting low I'll give it a try. It's not that I'm a tire hugger it that I don't want to buy another set of 18's. Watching the video is free.

a cobra is $40k if i'm not mistaken ????

my FD was built to do EVERYTHING well burnout, drag race, drift, road race.........honestly it can do everything. an rx8 can be the same way. drag racing is the most punishing you can do to a car. if it doesn't break drag racing chances are it won't break doing the other things ;)

you can try it but i dunno its a low tq engine.... makes it very hard to do. i honestly wouldn't want to fuck up the auto tranny. they don't like powerbraking very much :D

what do I have to do to pull down these avi files?? I wanna see it!!!

Agree!

that was wicked....

props for demonstrating some serious wheel spinning skills bro...

only 2200 views haha

hey vosko, I did a burnout tonight.. I was going about 25 mph in 3rd, then took the car to 9000 and dropped the clutch and did a slight heel-to-toe, and burned out for about 3 seconds while going the same speed.. left a nice long track on the asphalt.. I think I'll be stocking up on tires, now that I got a taste for it.. HEEHEE

might want to stock up on clutches too! :)

heh, nice to see Vosko and his videos here at the 8 forum now. Welcome dude. :)

"It's better to burn out than to fade away..." - neil young

I dont think neil was talking about clutches j/k

actually i think the rx8 has a turbo clutch unit. they are pretty decent. should last a while even abusing the crap out of it :)

Why would anyone care what someone else did with their own car?

I thought the clip was great.

"speechless"

That was great! Great to see the 8 in such action!

who do you think you are prescription7

prescription7, I wonder why I didnt see videos of your car doing those 10 donuts in 30 seconds.

if i had a video camera and if my car wasn't already in storage for the winter there would be a video of it.

...video of what? I see you posts were deleted.

what did prescription say

he didn't say anything important he was just being a troll

Vosco:

Is that left rear tire really nearly stationary in the video while the right one spins, or is that just an illusion due to the spinning matching the frame rate of the camera? It looks like the smoke is coming from the right rear tire. With VSC disabled, do we lose the limited slip?

It looks like the smoke is coming from the right rear tire. With VSC disabled, do we lose the limited slip? It's strobing. At the very start of the clip, the wheel even appears to be turning backwards, and once the smoke has cleared you can plainly see two stripes on the roadway. The Torsen LSD is mechanical - there's no way it can be disabled.

So many people have said this quote and been associated with it who really said it I thought it was Def Leppard when he sang Rock of Ages.

it's neil young.. I actually looked it up before I posted it.

you da man Vosko:D


now you just gotta do a drift video with it
