That is the same engine sound that Mazda had on their site along time ago when the RX-Evolv first came out.

There was a "Start Engine" button and when you pressed it the engine would start. I believe there was even a button to rev the engine, as well!

Is it just me or does it seem like an eternity since the RX-Evolv first made it's debut?

 

The RX-Evolve was a renesis though... if probably a bit earlier in the development... so that sound is a valuable pointer if nothing else!

 

Get Crazy Browser it allows you to have tabs and groups but still views all the pages using IE.

 

Cool where do I get the source code? I assume I can compile it for my Sparc station under Solaris at work and my DEC Alpha workstation at home running Ultrix or Linux (Dual boot)....

For good measure, I suppose I'd have a version for my other machine at home running Intel Linux. But that's mostly just for my packet radio and logging.

 

Blue - if you're using galeon on linux, you can tell it to advertise as netscape 4.7 or IE. PM me if you need details on how to do this.

Pat... I'm trolling.. LOL...

Bad show I know, but I couldn't resist... Of course, I do know that if it used IE, then it's never gonna be of any use to me... but I'm making a point.... I'm serious though when I say that it's been many years since I've used Windows.

I'm actually using Mozilla I built from post 1.2beta source.

I have used squid to hide it's identity and get into the Mazda site... their homepage is full of really nasty java and doesn't work correctly, however most of the rest of the site does.... They still should have an "Enter Anyway" button but I expect that they are embarased about how bad the Java is.

 

I make all my sites compliant with everything. Do me a favor though, test out my site (signature) and tell me if everything looks okay to you?

Thanks much :D

 

did anyone look at said7's site (previous post page). That cougar is pretty sick. And you have too much time on your hands with all that flash work. My eyes hurt.

 

It's actually very rare that I would find a site that actually doesn't work, although sites that won't let you enter because of some misguided browser checking are on the increase...

Your site is just fine... the W3C HTML checker (Which is pretty brutal) lists a load of minor issues that could be cleaned up in a few minutes if you wanted to be REALLY good... but I didn't see anything that would raise an eyebrow...

*nod* I don't have the time to correct those hiccups. I want to make it XHTML 1.0 compliant but I really haven't the time as of now.

 

It looks like the vents behind the front wheel wells have been enlarged significantly…The newer red RX-8 is turned sideways more than the older yellow RX-8…If the vents sizes were unchanged, they would appear smaller yet they appear larger. This suggests that the vents are functional. :D

 

i made a similar comment the other day but i am still wondering if it is just an illusion cause by the angle of the cars. and i always assumed they were functional vents for brake cooling.

 

If I recall, on the FD these vents are for oil coolers... anyone care to confirm/deny this?

 

Yes, they’re for cooling the oil. I’ve heard that only the driver side vent is functional on the base models & both are functional on the high performance models but I can’t confirm that. In terms of break venting, I wouldn’t use the vents to provide suction pressure to the breaks as that’d draw hot air into the vehicle; better to use ram air pressure from the front & blow the hot air out & away from the vehicle.

 

rx7guy saidthe oil cooler(S) were(are) behind the openings below the headlights. he was talking about the vent behind the front wheels.
then rx7guy said this and yes rx7guy that is what i meant those vents are for the outgoing hot air from the brakes which is forced out by the air coming in the aforementioned openings in front of the wheels below the headlights. :D

 

Man I just love this pic. Can't you see yourselves sitting there?http://www.autogazeta.com/c/8/b/06_RX-8.jpg

 

Too much chrome for my tastes.

 

That's an old pic! From the first RX-8 prototype in 2001.
