Hello rx-7~rx-8

I am under the 'breaking in' yet.
and I drove only the city area of Tokyo.

RX-8's acceleration is wonderful,RE response is very quick! look like a RacerReplica-moto-bike.
But My candidate for comparison is only miata 1800.
I cannot find the other language.
Please wait for other guy's report and check it my other posts.

0-60......! You want to my time attack record? give me...:D

thanks rx-7~rx-8

I think the door close sound of RX-8 is the door close sound of RX-8!
That sound is Individuality original sound of RX-8.
But
Since some forum members are focusing on it, I write about it.

I feel the door close sound of RX-8 is no good. (...but It is better than my English.)
I am on my few experience and comparing RX-8 with Porsche.
I know it is the meaningless.
Porsche does not have a rear door. and BMW is a sedan for me. Furthermore, those cars are high prices.
I think Everyone could understand that...same as me.

I think that the sound of the door of RX8 has the influence by the free-style-door.
Rather than the sound of a good door, since I needed the free-style-door, I do not mind about RX-8's door sounds.

and some Japanese RX-8 owners say
"The door of RX-8 cannot be closed easily ( a little) "
me too ...but There is no problem for me.

thanks all

Congratulations EAST MOON.

of course! I don't know that.:D

The brand from the manual(Handling description)
Recommendation oil [Pure-Motor-oil golden SJ]
API SJ/ILSAC GF-2,SAE 10W-30:p

This is not the mistake of character conversion.:D
Maybe we must choose to most expensive rank oil.
:D
thanks Cihuuy

Ps: NARUTO is sleeping under my foot now.

I was waiting for the question, about that.
It's because I like and enjoy car washing.
but RX-8 of my picture on a post is in the state still received from the dealer.:D

I washed my RX-8 the day before yesterday, and applied the body-coating for my car.
( "applied" or "gave" Someone teach me right English Please. )

This time, I tried a 'Titanium-Oxide-Coat-wax" called 'Photocatalyst coat".
From a description
( A photocatalyst coat is the new style coat wax which disassembles the dirt on the surface of a body at the photocatalyst reaction by the ultraviolet ray and titanium oxide which are contained in sunlight.)

This wax is the wax of the type which does not make waterdrop.
I can not judge yet the efficacy which used this one.

I will become busy since June of Japan and July have many rainy days.


thanks

Yes That's right. He is a Welsh-Corgi.
He is 3 years old, in this August.

Ecological Photocatalyst coating agent utilizing titanium oxide compound
This is what i found about that stuff


Photocatalyst technology decomposes organic matter using energy of ultraviolet radiation.
However, photocatalyst also decomposes and degrades whole materials being coated due to its significantly antibacterial and odor eliminating effect, and that was a challenge in the past.


However, recent progress in nano-technology made possible special coating on the surface of particles of titanium oxide with ceramics as well as absorption and decomposition of toxic organic matter alone without direct contact between particles and base materials.
Thus, the field of application of the technology has been diversified.

Using specially processed titanium oxide compound, Wellcoat100, our unique photocatalyst coating agent for interior building materials, improves environment with our unique organic binder.

i used to be a teacher of my friend, who was a home-stay student from Tokyo, who came to Canada to learn english. i must say that you english vocabulary is very good (efficacy isn't a word often heard here).

you are correct EASTMOONsan: applied is the right verb.

This site is "Taiho Industries Co.,Ltd."
and the brand name of a product is "clean-View".
I used this one.
http://www.taihokogyo.co.jp/j_site/2...age/new01.html

and here is the menu of all wax products.
http://www.taihokogyo.co.jp/j_site/2...page/wax1.html

last is home page top
http://www.taihokogyo.co.jp/
Although this site has an English site, but a half is "Now Printing"
thanks

front seats fold down?

Eastmoon, I hope you don't mind if I ask you another question about your car- but could you tell me if the front seats fold down? To make more cargo space, I mean, for putting in stuff like large boxes, etc.

And hope this wasn't already asked- didn't see it in a quick search, but I apologize if I missed something.

Thanks EAST MOON for all your feedback and the pictures. You helped us change our mind from leather to cloth most likely. :D
