My first reaction to seeing another rotary powered car when I'm driving my Rx8 is revving my engine to the 9,250 rpm rev limiter.......... Then I'll say waz up.. or wave.

I don't know what you guy's are complaining about. At least you've got a car to wave at people with rotors.
When I had mine, people always waved and I always waved back. It's nice. Sorry, not felling the best. |
Hey Judge,
Have you strengthened up your tranny in your 8 at all since blowing it up um... what 2 or 3 times now? hehe. I'm curious to hear what customizations you've made to it. Plus, how on earth did you destroy the drive shaft?! I remember reading that someplace else on here. |

I always wave at every RX7 I see around here, but the sad thing is....here, it is pretty much the opposite...Most RX7 drivers don't know what they are driving...
And it's true...most RX8 drivers don't know what they have, they just think it's cool they are driving a new expensive car they saw on TV... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif |
Damn, I wave at them even though I'm not driving my 7!
I'm sure people are like "WTF? I don't know that kid!" |
In the past two months I've had 3 RX8 encounters...
Two I was passing by slowly going the other way in traffic...each of us going maybe 20mph. I waved...they could not have missed me because they looked right at me...absolutely no response from them. Last week I was pulling through the drive through at my bank. As I was rounding the parking lot a bright yellow RX8 pulls in with a female driver. She pulled up right next to me in line...I looked over about to wave...no response. As I pulled away and she heard my louder car she looked...and I looked back...shaking my head in disbelief at her non-acknowledgment. I was really really tempted just to ask "hey, nice car...what motor does it have?" And wait for a comment from her like: "oh, a V6...I think?" I'm just waiting for the day I get to line up with one in my T2...and I hope its some cocky older guy. Good gawd how I'd love to ruin his day https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |

The carbon fiber driveshaft was so twisted inside the output shaft of the tranny it would not come loose and it had to be cut off. |
I had an encounter last week. I thought for sure he was a rotor head as he was looking dead at me across the median. I wavved and got not reponse.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

I just learned from this thread that my RX-8 is a rotary? Is my FD a rotary too? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif I flipped off a Corolla yesterday. Is that a rotary?
