i Want to post 2 vids with my 8!!!
Amazing sound

^ with out cat back

^ In the tunel

 

Thats ******* ridiculous nice sound though

 

^ what is ridiculous?

 

Each to their own

 

Sounds absolutely furious...

I have a few questions though....

Where the hell do you live that:
1. You operate a camera with such shitty angles?
2. You can drive up to full speed?

 

hahahahahh literally LOL'd made me spit out the water I was drinking,,,

 

lol

 

haha I saw that video. It's DAMN fast without the catback though!

 

Just an FYI: he does have the 4.777 final gear so the speedo will be off a bit as well as the top speed.

 

sounds nice.

 

Really? Where's the sensor for the speedo?

 

the vid is in kph not mph thus the high speed

edit nvr mind i had only seen the second vid

 

lol sounds awesome

 

Reading is taken off the wheel axles, however my point is that the top speed is LESS then stock using that final gear ratio.

 

Tunnel scene sounds nice and some of the comments, lol.

 

Stock top speed is drag limited, not gearing limited. Though the final drive technically lowers the maximum potential spped, due to aerodynamics and friction, the FD allows for a higher top speed than stock.

 

I dont think I am understanding what you are saying. How is Friction due to air drag (or FD as you put it) changed due to the new gearing?

quoting from http://www.vividomaha.com/blog/2009/...review-for-rx8

"Maybe a lot of you haven’t heard of this before, but the 4.77 gear shortens the gear ratios for all the gears (shorten meaning that any given gear will seem to last shorter in comparison to driving speed). So driving around in third gear at 3000 rpm, you will no longer be at 30 mph but rather at some lower speed. Its a ratio difference so its not like this just raises every rpm by 1000 for any given speed but rather it will vary with what gear it is in.

4.77 means that the drive shaft coming from the transmission has to turn this gear 4.77 times in order to turn the wheels once. This is raised from the stock 4.44 gearing. This functions the same way that the low gear functions on your car or on a bike. Its very easy to turn the pedals because torque is amplified by the gears but you need to turn them very quickly to go fast. Luckily the RX8’s rotary engine has revs to spare and rather meek low end grunt. So this seems like the perfect mod to trade some revs for raw acceleration, this will let the rx8 zip through the gears right into the power band and be able to put more power to the ground in general.

Top speed is limited to about 163 mph now as opposed to the 185 ish limit of 6th gear now. So at about 9K in sixth gear you will be at 163 mph.

This drive promises a noticeable increase in torque in every gear."

 

^ Nevermind... I will put my foot in my mouth because I thought about it and see where you are coming from.

 

will i was moving with 4.44 in 4000rpm i had 130 km
with the 4.777 final drive in 4.000rpm i have 120 km
so the speed is he same with 4.4 and 4.7

 

I am living in Greece!
my friend was recording with his mobile phone and the little vid i did alone
2. No but there wasn't any radar and i did it just once for 2 minutes

 

lol furious
