Hi all
This is the rear smoke(black!)-window.It's very cool and very fitting for Yellow!
First, a clutch feel is very light.I think that I am lighter than my previous car Road Star (Miata)1800cc.
Shift-feel, and stroke, is feel like a RS, they were very glad.
A suspension is very smooth.It is not too soft and not too hard. RX-8 is very fun to drive car! ...same as Road Star.
(my car is 16 inch wheel,and I don't know a feel of 18inch wheel.)
a bulge(or swell?) is under the left leg of a driver's seat,That is the catalyst of exhaust. It is obstructive while getting used.
My car is Right-Handle drive. Probably, the car of a left-Handle drive does not have a problem.
The rear-view from a driver's seat is (a few) bad. for entry to small garage like me.
But there is no problem "in Driving time.
thanks all

East Moon-san I am embarrassed to have to ask you for yet another photograph please. My UK car will be RHD like your car and I am concerned about the engine bulge in the driver's footwell. If you would take a photograph to illustrate the problem then it would be very useful for all of us in the UK. Thank you for the excellent information so far.

Yes, I was being serious. I didn't mean to appear condescending. There are tons of folks out there that do not properly adjust their mirrors, resulting in horrible blind spots.
I guess I wanted to point out that with my 81 RX7 and it's wide C Pillar, but with properly adjusted mirrors, I had no problem with the right-hand side of the car.

That bulge is quite pronounced. When I first saw pics of the optional floor mat, I thought it looked very long--now I see it's actually just thin in order to clear the bulge. Very inteesting.

You talking about that bulge?
It's the "Catalyst equipment" for an exhaust gas. (It is only this that I know.)
thanks

Yes, I did. As you say it is, on closer inspection. no more than a quality foot rest. The bumps appeared non-symmetrical at first glance and I thought maybe it was some cunning foot warmer as part of the climate control.

Is it the square on a floor mat?
It is the slip-stoper of a right leg.
There are two kinds of floor mats,that is not attached to another floor mat.(My floor mat is "sport type", another one is "standard type")
I thinks that is a "fashion".
To be sure, it is "cooler" than another one.
If I mistake again ....Please reply.:p
thanks all
