if u think thats loud try starting it with no exhaust...last night after i fitted the dumps i started the car with no exhaust, it was about 9pm....parents ran out of the house yelling wot the hell have u done, u cant drive like that!!!....neighbour accross the road came out thinkin its one of his holden V8 mates...i had no idea they were so loud even on idle....would be good if we didnt have the cops and EPA

When I had my old RX7 I had to warm it up every time before driving it since it is a rotary. One day I found a copy of the local sound laws left in my mail box.

Well a couple of reasons
Got sick of driving down the road at 80 KPH or so and the engine just dying. Can be kinda scary when you are in gear and in traffic.
The leak in the window, causing my to have to disconnect the sound system. The $4000 or so I spent on mechanical in the last year to try and fix these problems.
The kicker was when the apex seals finally wore out and it needed a new engine. Also I had it for 6 years and was bored of it.
I have given it to my step son, so together we are going to rebuild it. It will be a fun project since we will be able to strip it down and not have to worry about keeping it drivable while we are working on it.
