Redlined for the 1st time
 

Guys,

First of all, I must admit that I have been a bit of a wuss since the ownership of my WB 8... because I never redlined my 8. I do high-rev it, highest probaby around 7,500 ... mainly because the car is "always" already fast enough on 2nd gear rev @ 7,500 ... never felt the need to high rev any further and I have always felt like Sonic on the road. However, last night, O man ... I finally did it, did it just for the sake of doing it, since a lot of you guys suggest that you should redline regualrly (if not once a day), to avoid carbon build up in the engine, etc.

It felt so good, and most important of all, it felt so right. When I hit 8,5000 there's a sound signal reminding me to change gear, this feature is so cool. I can certainly see myself do this more and more often. hehe

That's all folks ... just wanna express how much more I appreciate my 8 now, not that I wasn't ...

*POP*

There goes your cherry! Congrats. You'll be "beeping" once a day from now on, trust me! It's like playing with yourself for the 1st time. ;)

Yup, you're supposed to do that (once the engine is broken in, of course).

Hope your engine is broken in.

One "BEEEEEEEEEP" a day keeps the Mazda Tech away.

babies all grows up :-)

beep once a day is okay but dont play with yourslef once a day.k?:D

i go redlines all the time ,1st and 2nd gear. i have a txs exhaust and I do 100-150km highway everyday, my ears hurt so bad and I have this "beep" echo in my head all the time.

i did that with my AT :)

good job

<nods>

ike, you gonna hit up road america in the snow?

That would be fun with some studded Nokians :)

If you thought 8500 was great, try above 9000 :wiggle:

pussy. throw on the R-comps and go run it this weekend. :ylsuper:

With the way I was sliding around on the roads today I felt like I had R comps on my car... :Eyecrazy: Then there were the morons in trucks flying by only to see them in a ditch about a mile up the road.

Try 9300 when you get the chance.

I could never hear the beep over the engine noise for some reason. The car was completely stock.
