Sorry Hymee...but the metaphor had to be extended

How can I make my car louder?? I want the rotary sound??? Car is too quiet...will a cat back do it?
On my way home now....read enough about carpet and curtains.....I have been doing so much renovating on the house that I almost thought it was a real comment about home decorating.. jeez am I a dufus or what...feeling a bit old myself now!!
Anyway polished floor boards are the way to go....easy to care for and look nicer...read into it what you may but I was talking about the wood!
How do we spice up the lounge anyway???

Yep, a cat-back is the way to go. Speak to Hymee, as I have one of his, and it makes a rather nice improvement without being too noisy or droning when cruising. And....as well as the immense additional power you'll feel you have...it'll keep the boot a whole lot cooler

Cue Hymee's sales pitch on the rotary sound (yes, a catback has satisfied most of us).
As for the floorboard approach - they can be, ahem, slippery when wet.

Saw and heard my first Cayman S yesterday evening -
Bugger the back seat - my kids better hope and pray a band of gypsies doesn't happen by before the lust wears off or they're gone!

why are ppl talking about cars in the lounge (ie. off-topic) section of a car forum?
RC, maybe give Kall a buzz, she is looking to change her exhaust.... (hint... PM would be a good idea, but then again, you are a female, you get away with murder here..... maybe)

I thought the lounge was where we discussed non-RX8 stuff (including other cars). Or can you only discuss non-car stuff here and make a new 'OT' thread elsewhere if you want to talk about non-RX8 cars?
Too hard for me <departs lounge>

Bugger arguing over cars, topics etc, I can't believe we let RC get away with mentioning WOOD. I think she was making fun of us guys.

Oh yeah and BTW I am amazed that I can get away with it too.....with what though.... I was talking about the tree type of wood....not a 4 wood or a golf stick...club thingy....come to mention it anything that is typed along the lines of this thread is starting to get a bit weird...<departs to make the trip home...will leave you to ponder!!>

I stumbled over it again at SuperCheap Auto. It's called Brite Shine, and made by a company called Maserati in New York. Expensive name, cheap product.
Do yourself a favour........
