Don't know if it's a repost, but of all my months of searching for RX-8 vids, I've never come across this one before.

link isn't working

 

Great video!!!

 

Really nice... Stylish!

 

Did you see that, Mazda ripped-off my RX-8 tag that I put on my grill!!

I haven't seen before, thanks.

 

good video

 

Shaolin, love your sig. Seen Return of the Dragon maybe 50 times. The guy Lee is beating up played in several of his movies. We just refer to the bugger as Carl Miller. Remember the quote from Game of Death "You lose Carl Miller!" in the locker room fight? One of my favorites.

By the way can't open the link.

 

It worked for me, but takes a little while to load, so maybe just give it more time to start.

Good video!

Now gotta see if I can capture it at home with Streambox VCR

 

Abbid:


Email it to me... nopistons@mstersmiata.org

 

Don't they have a word for rotary in japanese?

 

can't get the link to open either...

 

I pulled this video off the rx8 japan website, but I couldn't download it them and I can't download it now, someone want to host it so I can add it to my collection?

 

I can't click the link, nor can I right-click to Save As?

 

you need windows media player 9 or higher I believe...if you have a mac I'm not sure it will work probably not

 

Yeah its a repost, but still a great video clip. I just wish I understood Japanese.

 

yeah:

in katakana:

ロータリーエンジン

or

in hiragana

ろーたりえんじん

and in romanji:

ro tari enjin

:D

EDIT: yeah so no they don't exactly, its a loan word, that has been incorporated into Japanese and so the proper way to write it would be in the Katakana form above.

 

For all who cannot open-first highlight with mouse and then right click to copy. Then open browser window and delete what is in address bar and right click address bar area and select copy to place video address in window then hit enter and you are there!

*faints*

 

Excellent find, made a fan out of me.

 

Lets try to right-click the link and "save target as"

If you can't "save target as", try "open in new window". It works that way as well.

 

Nice video, but I need a translator. Did'nt understand a word of it.

 

ok, here's a brief tanslation...

Standing alone as the rotary sports car, RX-7. August 2002, the curtain goes down on the RX-7, does this mean the end of the rotary heart of Japanese sports cars?

1967, for 6 years a new technology is being developed, engineers at Mazda strive to create this new rotary dream. Each new car has world class performance, but with each generation the environmental issues create new challenges, will the rotary finally disappear?

However...
...No, the Rotary did not end. The Rotary must never end, once again a new effort has started to design a new Rotary engine. The new generation rotary is born, RENESIS, with performance, quality and craftsmanship. Each engine is hand made one at a time, just like a racing car. An engine that feels like revving to 9000rpm, that's the rotary engine. Built with Japanese tradition (like the katana "Samurai sword" shown) that can only be achieved by humans, that's Japanese craftsmanship. That's why the rotary has spirit (soul). This is Mazda's Spirit, Mazda's pride, only Mazda can do it. This is deeply the rotary engine, the Renesis.

April 2003, a new generation of rotary sports car performance is unveiled, RX-8. The rotary lives again. Engine of the year, RENESIS. Any road, highway, freeway, you can hear the sound of the rotary. Mazda's "challenge the spirit" is this energy, the new rotary engine. More now than ever, this is for rotary sports lovers. Mazda.
