Officially Efini?
 
With the new revised Rx8s set to be sold in Japan thru Mazda and Mazda Efini dealerships......

Does it technically mean that the rx8 can now be classified as an Efini car?

Bottom line... is it still rice if an 8 puts on the efini badges? :)

If you on this continent, yes.

You're missing out one important part -- if he converted it to RHD, then there is no rice.

Lol, if someone goes through that much trouble, I'll tip my hat to them.

I have to admit, the efini emblem is a sweet emblem.

NgoRX8 08-22-2006 09:09 PM

i use to want it on my car back when i had a silver. boy did i feel like a ricer back then.

BIU 08-22-2006 09:19 PM

Judging from the responses....................... :)

Point taken lol

Rice even in Japan because there are no specific "Enfini" cars anymore. Everything is just Mazda...

Demio, Verisa, Axcela, Premacy, Atenza, MPV, Mazdaspeed Axcela, Mazdaspeed Atenza, Roadster, RX-8... and kei (micro) cars.

They are nice looking badges. I like the look of them better than the flying M but I have refrained.

They are a Mazda badge though, it is not like putting Lexus badges on a Toyota. Right? :dunno:

Wouldn't it be like installing the rising sun Mazda emblem on our cars?

It is on the Millenias and some of the FDs, it almost looks like two hands cupped with a circle around it. Also called the flame emblem :dunno:

Just Lucky.

I am not as keen on the flame emblem as it was tough to differentiate it from some other car maker's like Hyndai.

NgoRX8 08-23-2006 03:58 AM

haha, my post started the 2nd page here on my computer. it's set at 10 posts per page.

It's not a flame, it's a toilet seat. I like the upgraded logo much better.

That is so retro!

N rider89 08-23-2006 06:42 PM

if the old emblem wasnt so much smaller i would replace my "M" with it

Moostafa29 08-24-2006 07:30 PM

So thats the Efini badge? Besides heritage, what makes it special?

NgoRX8 08-24-2006 07:34 PM

These look even slightly better to some. ;)

BIU 08-25-2006 03:34 AM

damn they have been my favorite badges for the longest time.......

Now that the 8 is to be sold in Efini dealerships....... argh... its so tempting to slap these on..............

but then again... there arnt anymore Mazda cars produced under the Efini line anymore...... so even though theyre sold in Efini dealerships they arnt Efini cars.... but Efini is Mazda......ROFL im digging deep for a reason to allow myself to put these badges on my ride..

;) It will give a similar effect of debadging the car as most haven't seen the Efini badge.

Hey T...that is actually the rising sun emblem and I believe it is on my Millenia S...maybe not. Look at the history of Mazda logos...it is a bizarre journey.

That is what I said ;) It is also called the flame emblem.

N Rider had a question of what the Rising sun emblem was in post 14 so I kicked some pics in.

RA-Eight 08-25-2006 09:37 AM

Why can't we put our creative minds together, and create something just as sweet? Oh wait....we tried and it died! :( I'm just gonna debadge.
