I love the sound of the rotary in the morning...
 

...afternoon or evening for that matter. Went on a drive with 7 other 8's this past weekend though the mountains (check out the west forum!!). It was a great day, had the window down, turned off the radio for a while to hear the sound of rotaries roaring through the mountains. Maybe they were roaring so loudly because i was fortunate enough to be behind vivid's 8 so the sound was more noticable (great mods). Nonetheless, a sound like no other!

Sounds like you need to download some rotary sounds into your cell phone, and use it for your wake-up alarm every morning:)

Vivid's 8 has a nice low roar it in my opinion, not the high pitch whine that a lot of folks install. There's sure to be more pictures posted in there in the coming days. Pret - you get a chance to leave an invitation on any local 8's yet?

I hear ya Pret - I can't wait to get in my car every morning and lunch and after work. I seem to suddenly run a lot of errands in the evenings when I get to check out the red backlit dash. It's so danged alluring and smooth. I finally got the chance to drive by a glass building last week and wow aren't these cars a beaut! I stopped to look at the reflection and then realized the people in there probably thing I'm an idiot sitting in the middle of the drive looking at the reflection ;)

poolside, u just like looking at UR bautiful relfection! hehe. btw, like the lights? u gonna spring for the interior footlights? i was thinking about it.

I'd like to see those footlights in person first. It sounds really cool and I just totally dig the soft red backlights that we have already. Where were you going to order yours if you choose to go that route?

I will say I decided to order the 3rd brake light decal and I intend to put that on sometime soon :D

Is anyone else here old enough to remember the old commercial "Mazda goes HMMMMMMMM" ? Can't help thinking about it every time I start up. I think the new motto ought to be "zoom-zoom-hmmm" for the renesis.

Funny how the best part of going to work is going to work.........

....it's music to my ears!
 

Whats even better is the sound of my rotary when I am in my garage !

Like being in a music hall! Zoom Zoom Zoom!

Uh, Nut, we'd hate to lose ya-- please OPEN your garage door first! :D :D

BTW, anyone tried putting the Apache's rotary into an RX-8? I want THAT mod!!

so true
I drive 25 miles each way
and I love it

Heck, the sole reason I got the RX8 is because my commute (in an SUV ) went from 8 miles a day to 100 per day. Needed something fun to drive. Now, all I want to do is drive...

I love the sound of either of my rotaries in the morning. But I guarantee that my neighbors prefer my 8 in the morning to my FD with DP, hiflo cat and Greddy power Xtreme exhaust.

i hear ya man, i love waking up and driving to work. but the rest of the day untill i hop back in sucks

I actually don't like to drive my 8. Well, I do like to, but I don't because I find myself always wanting to go over the speed limit, and so the drive becomes an exercise in torture as I fight the urge to drive faster.

Re: Re: ....it's music to my ears!
 

Damn no wonder I was getting a wee bit giddy! And I thought it was the song of the rotary!

On a serious note... yes, the door is open that way the neighbors can hear it too!:D

You know, I've never heard my 8 from the outside? It's only a month old, and I've been too possessive to let anyone else rev it while I stand behind it. Plus, they'd think I'm nuts, but they just don't understand the car like I do.....
