rx8er Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Hello all. Quick intro first. The link to this was posted on www.mazdarotaryclub.com in the Rotary and General Chit Chat threads. I'm a member and moderator on MRC, but to top it all off, I own a blue 230 RX8 like the one in the pics here. rx8er is the user name I'd never thought of until after I joined MRC, hence you won't find rx8er (me that is) on there. Ian will do it tho'. I just wanted to call in and say what's been said already.. EXCELLENT PICS !! Also, having read through the posts, nice to find that the rex driver didn't get slated for simply being a rex driver, in fact, if I read it right, it seems that a lack of on track etiquette may have played its part? Maybe a lack of experience too? I suppose only the driver really knows. I'd be proper peeved if it was me tho'. Put me right off doing a track day.......... Anyway, thats it for now peeps. I'll have a look around for a mo and say tata for now. Oh, btw, anyone here get to Rotorstock this year? Cheers.
chris_c201 Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Shame about the car, makes me sad as i had an RX8 231 before the Scoob.... Sounds like the the guy may have been a bit over excited going on the track etiquette story but who knows... RX8ER - Not going to rotorstock, always fancied it when i was a member of RX8OC and MRC so read some good stories bout it... have fun and maybe i'll get there someday! Is Carl Hayward's 4 rotor beast gonna be there?
rx8er Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Hi chris, Ah, an ex Rex eh ;-). Rotorstock III has been and gone. I don't recall Carl's beast being their tho'. The weather did its worst and ended the final day on the drag strip at about 3pm. There were some folk there hoping to break some records but not to be. Plenty of FAST jap motors and a few Norton Rotary bikes on the strip - awesome. Had a look around here last night, seems like a pretty cool bunch of folk - just like MRC eh. :-). Cheers.
rabskyline Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 great pics matey ! but must disagree ! those rx8's are shite ! my mates missus has one and they are the weirdest buggers ! no grunt !!! anyway ! another one bites the dust ! someone else who thinks they are better than their car !! lol ! ps glad youre still alive !!!!
chris_c201 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Ah, the eternal lack of grunt RX8 view.... i have to disagree having owned one for a while. Anything thats flies to 72 in 2nd gear and over 100 in third ain't lacking grunt if you ask me, granted there is quicker cars but that is always the case....

Anything thats flies to 72 in 2nd gear and over 100 in third ain't lacking grunt if you ask me, granted there is quicker cars but that is always the case.... i mean they are tall geared and revvy and all but just lack that torquey surge you get with a turbo and a 4/6 cylinder motor ! its just the image and that ****el engine ! my r33 pined you down and felt like you were going into the back seat ! ive driven the mates missus car and it dont feel like its going fast if you know what i mean?? sorry for the hijack !
rabskyline Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 YAWN.........[:^)] now who's rude ???? was it you in the rx8 ?? no ! so whats the problem with free speech ? why not just read it for what it was ?
frank c Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 No offence taken m8.. I'll just get my coat.. [:$] Frank
rabskyline Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 No offence taken m8.. I'll just get my coat.. it was only my opion too..[:$] ok ! that was that then ! lol ! Frank
frank c Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I WAS hoping my post below your one was going to be up before yours m8.. Frank
rabskyline Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 wow ! glad i never posted on the rx8oc ! lol ! happy days ! rwd ! they always bit back !!!
rx8er Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 wow ! glad i never posted on the rx8oc ! lol ! happy days ! rwd ! they always bit back !!! LOL mate! I'm glad I posted to show my appreciation of some excellent pics, didn't realise it would turn so funny. You should have posted on rx8oc - I'm not a member, but visit from time to time. You know what its like..... some folk are just right up themselves about how great thier car is and how sh*te the rest are. Me, I like all decent motors, but prefer m/bikes for sheer acceleration and (usually) top speed, and leaving 'decent motors' for dead ;-). The last four wheel drive thingy I drove was a Land Rover in the R.A.F. but as I'm not at all worried about my rear wheel drive motor bitting back (which it has but no more swtching off TCS for me - fast learner), I won't be trading in for a 'Disco' just yet. LOL ;-). Tell you what tho'. RX8's lack torque but remember they are NA and rev to 9000+. Now RX7's...........................................hmm....... Cheers.
