uh... RX-GR8, are you copying my Whopper?

 

I try to beep twice a day. I've accidentally hit fuel cut twice, and I wasn't even trying to beep! Stereo was up too loud, and 10K just snuck up on me - damn, this engine is smooth!

 

Once so far (400 miles). I think I'm going to like the beep. Don't have to take your eyes off the road.

 

a beep a day keeps the doctor away!!!
woohoo...
yeah I do it about 10 times a day.. just have to
rotaries.. you have to rev them
just dun keep it there for liek 2 hours

 

10 times a day? whats your MPG like?

 

I rev high whenever the conditions allow for it, but like others have said, my girlfriend gets all scared when I do. I don't know if she's scared of the speed, noise, or the devilish grin on my face :D . Probably all of them.

 

Just another reminder that I'm being mean to my car, I feel guilty already you bastard! Stop beeping, it's not going to make the situation any better! Fine, beep if you want, I don't care, your beeps mean nothing to me!!!! At this point I would start mockingly beeping back at the beep, so now everyone that sees me thinks I'm some insane assylum escapee and calll the authorities, I tell the officers he would stop beeping at me but they hear no beeps. So all of the sudden I'm some wacko and I'm taken to the county looney bin, with all the trauma involved in this I spend the rest of my days walking around cold, white, tiled floors in a bluegown with my *** sticking out in the back. The whole time I'm beeping uncontrolably.


Beeps are baaaaaaaaad mmmmmmkay.

 

Someone posted a link to an exhaust clip that showed the tach of the 8 as the driver shifted it from 1st to 3rd. When the driver redlined third the car was going ~90mph!! I'd have to imagine it's hard to redline anything more than 1st and 2nd on a daily basis...unless you have a lot of long open roads around you.

I'd "hit it" as often as possible! :D

I'd beep more, but the gas mileage suffers and the engine is still pretty new. I like the little blue light that comes on with the beep too...

[B]Do a search and watch the video where the dumb asses are trying to blow up their 2nd gen RX-7. They have it full throttle for over 7 min and already have one blown apex seal. The engine finally goes but only because they left the radiator cap off. Then the car catches on fire because the exhaust temps got to hot and actually caught the carpet on fire. Once you watch this video you won't worry so much about hearing the ding.

Anybody have a link, I couldn't find it?

I saved the video on my notebook at home... I'll throw it on my server later and post a link.

 

Thanks, after the description I just have to see it.

 

I can't count that high...

 

That's pretty much my algorithm too! :D

 

I try to do it at least 4 times everytime i drive.

Usually when merging on to a highway or down shifting to pass someone.

 

Don't get too excited, it's about as much fun as watching paint dry.

 

hahah this thread makes me wonder about those people complaining about low gas mileage. 90 in third...the 8 does it easily.

 

blue light? I've never noticed...my eyes were always on the road when I heard the beep.

 

I never hear my beep cause I have my stereo blasting....Is that wrong? :D

 

If you drop the AT into "sport mode" can you get it to beep?

 

Everytime i get the chance to redline in 1st, 2nd and 3rd if i'm on the highway....yes millage does suffer always getting 13mpg =/ can't help it though i'm addicted to the beep.

 

There's a blue light? Damn. Now I'll have to do it again to see the light come on.

I hesitate to say this, but I'm just not addicted to the beep. I love high revs, but I don't have to hear a beep to make the experience complete.

I will need to check out the blue light, though.

 

Almost every time I shift!

 

If i'm driving, i'm beeping
