Its amazing what $2500 in wheels and lowering springs can get you .... isnt it:icon5::dunno: To each his own.:sad:...If it would have been a vote between the RX8 community itself, I would have voted for TIM aka NEWCASTLE.

+1 but my vote goes to:

Attachment 253881

who's car is that?

ZUMN: it was probably all the stickers that put him over the top. We all know how awesome stickers are :rolleyes:


My vote would have been to the reigning champion NgoRX8. Custom HKS turbo ftw.

09Factor: I'm not very good at this whole "following instructions" concept so I started my own picture thread. :D: ;)

Here'a link for the first thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/jedi54s-sevenstock-13-pictures-204954/

Chelechuce: Its NGORX8's - Danny, just as Jedi posted.

EDIT:

Jedi: Hands Down. I texted and asked several people throughout the day on "who do you think won best RX8"... even people whos 8 was in the courtyard. They all said "Danny- NGORX8" :sad:

But in the end- thats just a piece of glass with letters on it. We all know whos the Best RX8. They need to have a different voting system for SS, let each Rotary Generation vote for its own. There is only 1 entrance to the courtyard/show area. Each rotary car entering should be handed a colored ticket for its generation rotary (SE3P, FD, FC, FB, RX3, RX2, Rotary Truck, etc.) and have boxes into which one can cast their vote. :yesnod: :dunno:

I met some new to SS RX8 owners that were in the pre-stage lot and they were all going :eek: GAGA over Dannys car....

nah, probably not harsh enough. Guess im just sick and tired of seeing crap and people on here trying to pass their cars off as quality. But I loved your rims.

You breaking ranks and not following the crowd? OMG what is this world coming too? :rollingla

I was thinking Danny's car too until i saw the award sitting in a diffrent 8. It does not seem to be a logical pick as a winner.

Me too. Quality material + quality work = a quality product.
Hell at this point if my 8 even ran, plus all the work done, it's not ready to show.
not at SevenStock at least. This is where the Best Rotary's come to show and compete with one another for the Trianglar Clear Best Of... Award

Didn't we at one time vote for a a peoples favorite?

09: haha, I knew you'd see my way of thinking. :D:

we did used to vote and for a second, I thought we'd be doing that again this year considering the main lot passes all had numbers on them.

Seriously, zip ties pink, red, orange what ever the f#ck does not belong, that shyts crap! Cracked bumpers, f#cked up body kits dont belong at a show. I appreciate all the people that spent the time on getting their rides up and ready! For Christs sake atleast wash your cars! You know who you are! No wonder all the old school rotary guys(rx2/ rx3/ FD &FC) talk shit about the rx8's. Im not defending RX8's anymore. Again, big shout out to those who brought out their A games!!

It was good too see you again also, your car looks better every time I see it.

Danny would have been my choice also, :worship:. Sorry Jedi, you have to work harder to catch Danny. :)

Jorge's car was off the hook! So clean, So was tims. Perfect example of those that bring their A Game!

did Danny always have those clamps that connect the pipes? or did he have couplings last year?

those were new...that shyt looked hawt!

was it that the toy car was a "mazdaspeed' rx8 and not an r3 or even series 2

I knew they were new! I looked at it over and over .... I was like ok I know about the Intake Manifold, and the piping looks to be polished (dont remember it being polished), and then i kept staring at the clamps.... thats when i was like..... just when I thought he had ran out of things to do. :Drooling_:Drooling_:Drooling_ His exhaust is :boink:


.. no, it was the fact that he spelled ROTARY 'ROTORY' in the sign. The fact that he and his wife thought they were the only R3 their and that supposedly that was the reason they were chosen for courtyard was fail as well. There were 2 other R3 Aurora Blues.

The car being a Mazdaspeed and not an R3 or Series 2, Ill let him slide on that because I doubt there are any die casts of those models just yet, in that scale size.

Oh I agree. I hope my comments didn't come across in a negative way. I was just poking fun. :)

I love the SS with the Vertex kit. It's taking everything in my body to not spend my financial aid money at Vertex Lang.

they know who they are HAHAHA

see the little swirly figure on the top of the C pillar?

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_AMPW4y_H6z4/TJ...0/DSC00444.JPG

That's the Iannetti Logo :) and its not there ONLY for the seals :) those 3 cars are also running exhausts built by Iannetti. Whereas other teams even in grand am can go through an exhaust system every race, SpeedSource goes 6 races. I was told that when the cars come off the track you can almost put your hand on the mufflers.

Looking at this 8 is painful...

Attachment 253877

painful because of the way it was modded... or because of the scars its gotten from drifting?

Saturday morning I went down to the restaurant in the hotel for breakfast. I sat down to eat right next to this young Japanese guy in a Mazda shirt. After eating for a bit we introduced ourselves and made small talk about where we were from and what cars we had- he drives a 2nd gen RX-7. talked for probably half an hour

2-3 hours later Berny is introducing Hayato to everyone else

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_AMPW4y_H6z4/TJ...0/DSC00459.JPG

Hayato Kato Joined Mazda in 2006 as a Rotary Engine engineer. He is one of 60 people in the Rotary engine team at Mazda. His first project was the Series II RX-8 engine and he now works full time and full tilt on the 16x. His main work is oiling systems and a bit of the intake and emissions. Spent a good amount of time talking with him off and on throughout the day and at dinner. Great guy glad he's on the team. He came came from Hiroshima on his own dime and went home with one of the 7stock banners.

The other banner is going to Japan as well for Koby, who for the first time since #4 missed a 7stock. We'll see you next year Koby.


I know everyone is enthralled at 7stock with all the great cars, and there were some awesome things to see Saturday- but this is why I go to 7stock. I've now got a friend who is an engineer on the 16x.

I bounced from a conversation with Francesco Ianetti, to a conversation with Sylvain Tremblay, To a conversation with Hayato, To a conversation with John- the guy that wrenched this car while it was driven by Patrick Bedard

http://www.jalopnik.com/assets/resou...06/11/7Led.jpg

To talking with Sara and Adam Burgess (Sara has a kick ass accent) of the BMI 4 rotor drifting car, to Dr Kiljoy holding the the trophies hostage(I've got pics- or rather he does since it was his camera) until Calvin and Team SpeedSource rescued them. To hanging with Paul and his Fantastic Friend- who coined the term Mazdout Saturday. To hanging with BHR and Socal guys and gals and AZ crew. I even got a ride with Ray.

Reminder- in case a delightful , charming young woman ever asks if you want to see her jump rope tricks. Your answer is yes.

Some of you may have wondered " Where is the Furai?" ............


Just one question- where the heck was NYCGPS? we spent hours trying to find him amongst all the other gabbing and nary a hair on his head did we see.


O did you guys see the red anodized strut bar? there is only 2 in existence- I met the person who built them and you all saw his car- the injen intake tube with the RB box.... He might be making me one of those braces. His car makes 223 to the wheels and I cant tell you everything he told me:) but that injen tube is not the production tube. He left a little more in it than the production tubes, just in case :D:



I know Hayato and the rest of the Rotary team in Hiroshima are working as hard and as fast as they can- Im hoping that in 3 years we can call it Sevenstock 1.6

:suspect:......:squint:

pdxhak: I agree, it was painful to look at that thing.
I should have take a picture of the 50mm spacers he had on! :uhh: :banghead:

not to mention the shittiest paint job i've ever seen. Did you guys also see his 50mm spacer in the back? that was terrible!!!!

Just got done looking at Jedi's picture thread and there is another busted veilside 8 :lol2: And the 8 with the Mint Blue bumper with the dripping paint :puke:

Atleast it's veilside

Here are mine

Event was a ton of fun, they should hold it every year. Here's one from the post 7stock beach cruise (took way to many photos to thumbnail them all). Can you identify this Maniac?

^ they do and after the support they got and attendance from Rotards Im sure they will host SS14!!! I cant believe it when the courtyard and show area got full to where they had to send rotaries coming in back out!!!

yeah man, so many 2nd gen rx7s had to be told to park in the general parking cause the main floor was filled. I think this was the highest attendance of rotary cars ive ever seen

^ not only that but last year not as many oldschool Rotary trucks and RX2-3's came out to play as they did this year, I was amazed.... i really liked the fact they came out to play.

As was I. I was really surprised to see so many 2-3's and trucks. They were maintained very wll too.

The one that was especially hit my heart was the COSMOS that showed up

i think sevenstock VII had the largest amount of 2, 3, and trucks so far. But thats also the year where FDs were the most abundant rotary car there. Now FCs are xD

7/7 was filled with Old Schools - it was awesome.I was happy to see so many this year. I saw this one Silver REPU after it was over that drove over to the courtyard- i want that truck

Im shopping around for a roller RX3 73... Dont care about the condition.

A few pictures of all the happy looking 8's out there. all cell phone quality pics :D:

mike actually has more stuff done than just wheels and a drop, as for the stickers he just reppin the folks that show him love he's had features on fatlace ,hellaflush and speedhunters ect.....theres a reason why he has been featured on these online mags... maybe the stickers did take him over the top who knows lol just cause you guys dont feel that he should not have got it doesnt mean that everyone feels the same, i dont see any of your cars getting featured, so i guess he's doing something right. take some notes fellas put more stickers lol. i just dont see the need for all the hate.

btw 7stock was fun and yes there was lots of nice cars...

relax bro, Mikes car is badass and he's a cool guy. We actually spoke for a while during 7 stock and I even kicked it with him the majority of the time last 7 stock. What people are trying to say is that there were other cars out there that had twice the amount of work done to their cars but came up a little short. For example, sure Danny won last year but this year he came back with an entirely different turbo piping setup not to mention a new exhaust and a tucked engine bay. 95% of the work was done by his own hands. Thats dedication and people like danny, jorge, tim could give a f#ck about being featured by all those hype blogs. I give Mike props for having insane wheel fitment but many of you nuthuggers need to understand that hellaflush illest and all those other hype blogs are not the final word.

I gave up on looking for "quality" modded 8's too long ago, nowadays slapping on cheap mods seems to be the way to go for so many. I'd have to say other roataries look down on 8 owners because the rx8 takes much less "passion" to own than, say, a modified FB. Either way, it just seems some owners don't wish the spend the time or money to really do things right, but choose cheaper routes or alternatives.

There definitely were a handful of amazing 8's out there, that can't be denied :icon_tup: How were the courtyard 8's chosen? I don't know if I'd exactly consider the choices all to be on the same level, to put it nicely.

So many pictures around, I'm not going to bother posting mine. I wanted to take pics of the drive-aways like last year but didn't have the opportunity to, gf wanted to leave early :( Looking forward to next years event!

edit: Deedubb, "Mike's Cousin" doesn't take criticism of Mike's car too well, careful what you say. Mike, your car did look great! I'll end my semi-off topic posting now :lol2:

careful what I say? For stating the facts?

7 stock needs to judged based upon points. There also needs to be other categories for each chassis. Best engine bay, best paint, best wheels, etc etc. There was a year when of all people Razz won best rx8, how he won that year I still have yet to find out.
