Damm he's good at making Rotary sounds
He's the rotary god. He used 0.0001% of his brain to make those sounds.
Literally sounds just like mine
@@krASHExxx something tells me you got Josh under the hood instead!
@@DassRoc that would be pretty cool. And could explain why I never have reliability issues with my rx8 🤔
It's like Josh was fed Rotary engines growing up!
Josh’s sound effects are on point. Like why is he so good at them?
He probably works all day on rotary's and does it all the time
Perhaps Josh is a rotary engine.
But is he street or bridged?
@@duncanmill8977 he's bridged and lightend
Practice. As with everything. It makes perfect.
6:10 give this man a medal just for this.
Lol
He had me at the gear shift and then the smile 😂🤣😂🤣😂
idk my pops and a few folks I know can do that pretty good
"Josh, talk to me dirty."
Josh: *1.9 TDI sounds*
I can't make the sound of the engine but I can recreate the sound I made when I blew mine up after it drained itself of oil. 6 mos old 2004 Jetta :(
5:54 You know he’s real Rotary guy when he can do this.
6:07
This guy's rotary impression just made my day.
He isn't even ridiculous at making this.
His little smile at the end of it was so cute too.
8:14 the owner was sweating bullets!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
"That was 10,000RPM!"
owner: 😰😰😰
TRUE
Yeah.. Just cause it can rev to 10,000rpm doesn't mean it should
Of course it should it works way better at higher RPMs thanks to lubricant flow
I've owned my RX8 for 3 weeks now and I can honestly say it's an amazing car and the driving experience is like nothing else, big go kart is how I would describe it!
How is it now. I want one
@@ao8271 it is by far the most enjoyable car I've ever driven, if you love driving this car is perfect. You need to maintain oil levels etc but it's so rewarding. Took it to the track last week and it's amazing, go kart for the streets 👍😎
@@cliffbartram4974 this is a once in a lifetime car. Im gunna get it.
@@cliffbartram4974 I need this, I wanted to buy one for my first car but the taxes are to high
Do you have an update on your RX8? 😂
Please for the sake of the rx8 polish those headlights, they look so sad.
I think he mentioned a detailing/refurbish video coming soon. Just like they did with the Skoda (Miles)
EXACTLY
Polish will just fill you need to wet sand first.
@@aquatics117 and he will need to remove the clear lens fronts. Mine are the same. There is a build up of crud on the inside due to condensation. Mine are the same.
And return the stock wheels
At 6:02 You know Josh has been working on rotarys for so long that he can make the rotary brap sounds freakishly realistic even though gear changes. Josh is so awesome!!!
guys if you are not a fan of rotary cars how did you end up watching it in the first place
buddy keep doing the series. good job and don't listen to other people
you have our full support
Go Felix !!!
Sorin Bolea tu ai dreptate,pt ca de ce naiba s-ar uita dacă sunt hateri
People who don't like rotaries are watching because they were subscribed before he bought the RX8. And he should probably listen to other people as well, considering how long we've been watching the channel.
@@JoseARomo-qv5fk surely nobody is forcing you to watch the full episode
@@sorin021 And I didn't say I did. I probably spent more time typing that reply to your comment.
Dont know much about rotaries but slowly doing research and trying to learn. Currently got a coyote 5.0 but looking at a Japanese sports car as a next purchase in a few years...
3:16 the hand shifting gears is wearing jacket and he was wearing a t-shirt ...😂 Who else saw it?? 😂😂😂
Good eye
True
Wtf
Kinda like the shifting scenes from the old Fast and Furious films
Lol good catch
If ya can't afford the port! Just bring Josh along for the Beat Box expierience!
You mean a "Racing Beat Box". (Mazda owners will get this joke)
>> Flames from exhaust, a clear indication of unburnt fuel
* Your catalytic converter liked this. *
No-one needs science over here
@@ColeT_43 hahaha... best rebuttle comment award
Catalytic converter not present*
duh...thats what the rotary is all about
Lol what catalytic converter 🔥
Do an electric conversion of the rx8 then just put a huge speaker in the bonnet and record Josh making rotary noises so it still sounds right
Or not
Electric is bullshit!
As funny as this comment is, Rx8 is one of the best platforms for electric conversion
Jonas Lekstutis no its not
@@TheBerlinbaer yes it is. Neighboring company did it, 200kw electric motor, no big battery and a very very fun track car.
The sound fx of the car passing by @6:11 is just so good I’ve watched it like 20 times in a row, can’t get enough 😂👌
Its scary how well the dude dos rotary sounds
He has a rotery voice box 😂
Felix and Phil need to run around the same track as the E46 330D... We need numbers to compare!!!
Up
I'd imagine the BMW would be seconds faster
M773 idk man, the e46 has great mechanical grip as a stock car from the get go. And if I remember he’s put tires and coils on it, it made a great difference too.
Why is this not at the top
Nobody cares about numbers. The BMW has the engine out of a canal boat so it can never compare in sound and fun.
6:12 what? he is so damn good!
that lift off was lit
You got it spot on! I love my Rx8 and wouldn't change it for the world. The smile it puts on my face every time I get in it, just can't be beaten!
I went from Belgium to the UK to have my rx8 rebuilt by Rotary Revs. Doing trackdays since then with it for two years now without a problem. Rotary engines can be reliable as long as you treat them well which is not the same as being gentle...
I find these cars underrated. Apart from all the rotary fun, they handle really well...
Try it yourself... *hint*
I'm a huge fan of Rotary Revs and this show!!!
Do you rev it to redline on track days?
@@scarea2691 yes, I shift between 8500 and 9000. Depending on my timing skills. I try not to hit the Rev limiter. I don't shift before I hear the warning beep 😁.
Vanmada. So dat did I.
Please look us up as, a friend and I started a small business for rotary cars. We have our customers engines build by them too. We have a partnership with RR.
www.b-rpm.be
Or ok Facebook.
We go to tracks, have meets, but also provide you with the correct parts 😉
@@Vanmada make sure to look us up mate 😉
@@svenbollen5535 I just did 😉. Have read your site with interest. I'll be in touch, when the time is right...
Josh is an absolute legend i need to see more of him
After this series I'm 100% convinced I need an RX8 in my life with a street port!
6:05 an owl gave me this look once
"legal rx8"
Ported, decatted, straight piped and flame throwing rotary.
Yes, much legal 😂
Edit: hoooly shit!!! Didn't expect over 600 likes! Thanks for that and keep brapping guys 🚗
The only thing illegal in that sentence is decat...
it has a cat though, just in the back
@@ale6242 straight pipes aren't legal mate.
It isn't straight piped 👍
But he not welcome in cali
I bet you could grill beef on that flame😯🔥
it will taste like oil, fuel and soot.i don't recommend this.
Tastes like plastic and carbon monoxide poisoning
mmm, fuel flavored meat
any plastics will have burned up and carbon monoxide will fix (chemically react) so it will be harmless.
It would taste awful but yes you could
Josh is like the dude from Police Acadamy with his soundeffects
6:05 one of the best rotary impressions
That 214hp proves rotary revs did an excellent job
DespacitoBurrito thought they claim 230 from factory?
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei
Yes !
But absolutely zero RX8 delivers that much power from the factory. They produce around 200hp/210hp...
Reaching 215hp is a great result.
@@alexandrerousselin4467 thought port/decat/mapping would give more than 5hp, for that price...
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei the 230 from factory isn't at the wheels.
@@AsBe25. neither is the 214 at surrey RR
How can you not like a rotary? Despite its mechanical faults, you can make so much power with some work, and the sound 😍
What sound? Sound of other cars passing you while you push your dead rotary off the road?
You can make just as much power in a piston-designed engine, with far better reliability, fuel efficiency, emissions, maintenance costs, and more
Ummm.... yeah. I like rotary for it's quirkiness, but for easy power I'd take my trusty old Saab B234 any day.
@@dustinjames1268 no emissions for rotaries and 2t so im gonna dab for you and if the new law goes thru what is that 40year cars or older dont need to be inspected
The amount of power they make for the amount of fuel they burn is pretty bad really.
Please do an Subaru Impreza next, with the boxer engine it continues the trend of unconventional engines, and it would be awesome to hear that rumble.
Boxer engines are actually one of the oldest engine types used.
Too much garbage lol
@@barrybend7189 Yes, but only two companies actually use them -- compared to countless straight and V engines.
Barry Bend most engine layouts were designed around the same time of engine innovation, it would be cool to work out a new engine layout
Josh needs to be on every video from now on, he’s a legend.
Rx8 still is my fav car, love rotary. Spent more time learning about these cars than I have in anything else over the years. Enjoying the videos.
My rx8 is booked in for a rebuild and street port with rotary revs later this month!
Awesome!
Hope u get your 214hps :)
You won't regret it just picked mine up from they yesterday :)
Fancy going for a drink? And a bum?
Think he's taking the piss but idk
RX8 = Drivers car. Not about numbers, but pure driving enjoyment. Also its a lovely place to sit. The cabin is underrated!
Spot on. So many whiny comments about mpg or reliability. Shouldn't complain, it's these cowards that are keeping the prices down. ;)
RX7 = Drivers car.
RX8 = failed sucessor.
@@baibok Failed? It sold multiples more than the RX7.
@@baibok, no turbo no go, bro.
Mark Bowyer - The RX-8 sold nowhere near as well as the RX-7’s.
If you were talking about the FD generation only; I’d agree, but that would discount the SA22C/FB33 and the FC3S.
The first-generation RX-7’s (SA22C/FB33) alone sold around 430,000 units globally, whereas the RX-8 only sold around 100,000 units - at least according to the sales statistics as I could find.
Loving this new series Mate. So many CZcams channels focus on unobtainable cars, but your series like this and the MX5 are exciting to watch. The only issue is I want more! Keep smashing it lads!
Best series on Car Throttle so far. It's logical, educational, and enjoyable to watch instead of the funny Top Gear. 🙌🙌💖🚗
8:15 the worried glance at the rev gauge. Priceless
787B Gran Turismo anyone?
Lmao when your friend borrows your car and you suddenly get worried during a power pull.
Daamn i love this guy making rotary sound 🤣🤣
Awesome video, those pops and bangs are completely eargasmic!
Been waiting for this ALL day! This is what I'm talking about!
I was walking down the street when I heard a car going at 9000rpm I turned around and it was an rx8 I started to cry because it was a rotary and the sound was amazing
Aidan Ryan 458 Hope you enjoyed it! My father has a saying, “you’ve been bitten by the rotary bug”.
Once you hear one at its limit or in one that you’re driving. You’re instantly hooked, it’s just a blast to be in the power band, plus hearing the exhaust. 🥰🤤
I've just watch 7 episodes back 2 back....I'll never get that time back. Thanks loved every minute. ☮
DUDDDEEEE THEM ROTARY SOUNDS WERE EPIC!!! WHAT A GREAT GIGGLE!!!
I just can’t help but laugh at 6:12 😂
It was perfect tho!
Can we get him to do sound effects for rotarys in forza
American Panzer 😂😂😂 lets get him to do the idles
That was majestic
I thought he was watching a triangle shaped fly went by..
The worn out headlights make me uncomfortable
you know what's worse?.... "F A R M E Y E S"
You’ll get used to it
Brilliant format and good to hear from the fellas who build a good rotary also the tip on using a bit of 2 stroke oil in the fuel great stuff and noise is out of this world
Absolutely love all things rotary, amazing vlogs! 🔥🙏🔥
Jesus Christ that sound is something to live and die for.
Whoever made that intro graphic needs a raise!
yeah I laugh every time.... very good...
Damn where has the time gone. Feels like yesterday this video was posted!! What a great series this was..
6:18 that smug smile at the end of the spot on rotary impressions 😂 amazing
I love this series 👌 keep up the good work
One of the best topic for carthrottle!!!
Shoutout here from phils...
I want to take a moment to thank you for featuring regual cars that you like, instead of pandering to us with exotics or selling out
Thank you for this series!
The sound he makes for explaining the rotary porting had me laughing.
You have talent, man. Talent.
Makes it way easier to understand
THANK YOU!! FINALLY A BIG CZcamsR WHO KNOWS ROTARIES ARE AWESOME
Rob dahm, just google him. All you need to know is that dude rotary swapped Corvette
@@v.holovatiuk yeah true, he's one of the few, that guys' nuts
@@filmgunproductions4448 it's good to have people who still keep rotary engines. Mad Mike, Rob, and a bunch of others show what those can do, no matter what couch experts say
That flyby sound effect WITH the shift got my thumbs up!
Great series. Nice to see some RX-8 love
One of the underrated things about owning a rotary is the smell! They smell like a 2 stroke dirt bike/snowmobile/atv. It smells amazing when you're ordering food at a drive-thru and you can just smell that oil/gas mixture. It's awesome/
If you like smelly cars, I recommend a Mark 5 Golf GTI with a 2.0T FSI and go catless. It's smelly enough that your friends will complain about it. My friends refuse to drive behind me.
That guy is awesome...he sounds just like my old rotary powered b22..
Love this guy always waitin for the next upload
You are literally making me fall in love with rotaries 😍
4mpg...ive seen big block chevys with better mpg
You can achieve 25 mpg in a 2019 camaro ss if you're careful LMAO
4mpg isnt real...
mine 13b with bridgeport makes around 15l/100km which is 18mpg
Mine does about 9-15... I can believe it...
My FD is heavy on fuel but I think it's way better than 4mpg even on track! That's nuts!
Today i found out that rotaries are exempt from emissions tests in Finland 👀
What about Sweden? I am going to be miving there from thw U.S.A.
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 yeah no, these costs a shit ton to tax due to the emissions
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 just go to arkansas, no emissions tests for anything ever
@@THESLlCK and florida
@@elijahstewart1333 freakin hell, I have no clue why I don't live there already
0:57 That might be one of the best sounding cars I have heard in a while.
6:00 that bit was epic :D the fly by bit especially tempted to have it as a text tone haha
I love my rx8 and you’re right best car for the money !!
6:10
hahah, I want that guy to voice over ralley car stages xD
The man who explained the ports really does a bang-up job imitating these cars. Bravo, man!
How cool is to listen to how it will sound. This is a must have in a garage. In that speed pass he was making more than 150 miles, impressive.
Sorry Felix but aesthetically... pre facelift
nah r3 looks to happy
Agreed, but I can’t get over the pre-faclift red interior
Mikk Salla agreed
remove that useless top lip and my golden ratio is satisfied
JarlChickNugs I hate the R3 and Series 8 RX-7. The pre facelift cars are better
I have always wanted an RX8. I love the high revs and the powerband you get with it. Although were I live its hard to find one with low KMs and in good condition for a decent price. I ended up getting a 06 SI and I love it but my love for the RX8 has not left me.
Makes me miss my old Rx8 and maybe consider getting another one. Great video, thanks!
I'll really never understand why people are so eager to shut down enthusiasts and their builds. i love rotary and the community behind it, they are cars with a huge amount of potential. I've known people who have owned them and loved them. And this isn't just the rotary community that receives all this hate. All the elitists always just try to take a big ol dump on passionate people with a love for diverse cars. they'll say things like "got a Mitsubishi? better be a lancer evo or its garbage" and "all honda owners are ricers". I have personally received a lot of hate about my Mitsubishi Eclipse 4th gen build. I absolutley love the 4th gen eclipse and its a car with a ton of potential just like an rx_8. people are quick to hate anything diverse. Hate is gonna drive people away from the car community and it sure isn't bringing new enthusiasts in.
It's like my 3rd time watching this this month alone because I really really like Doritos spinning at 9k+ rpm
Josh engine noise are lit 💥 not as lit as the exhaust flame 🔥
I picked up my 09 S2 back in 2012. Still love that car as much as when I picked it up. It is everything I want in a car. Awesome handling, enough power to be fun, and it makes a great noise.
Awesome - love your vids and - in this series - noises Josh is making 😀
Man i love rotaries!
I recently came into ownership of a passed-down second gen RX-7 that sat to rot for over 30 years. I don't have a lot of hope that the rotary will be even close to salvageable.
Do a full rebuild.
Full rebuild
Loving the series, keep it going forever. Rotangklan!
Brilliant episode
That was too short video, we want more popcorn popping :D
6:17 can i just point out i love this dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious
Dan: very professional rotary engineer and also master of rotary sound imitation.
Your on trending mate, nice one! ❤
"basically", this is how you tune up a 2 strokes engine aswell.
100% true
Thats cuz the rotary is basically a 2 stroke engine
@@Winneri9 no its different
@@supraptonoalamsyah9273 not really, the intake and exhaust timing is controlled by the piston/rotor moving over the intake and exhaust ports
@@supraptonoalamsyah9273 "mirip" 2 tak tapi meledak 3x dalam 1 putaran
More like living with a flamethrower...

Elon Musk approves
@@basshead. what is rice about Felix?
basshead far from riced lol, obviously not a car guy
The RX-8 looks like a ricer from the factory. A great car for hairdressers and chicks, tho.
I'm buying an 07 Rx8 GT this Wednesday because of this series. This car is amazing
I really enjoyed watching this, its a car I would love to own, like the shape and style. well done.
Please drive a peripheral port next 😱
TheCarPassionChannel I’ve set a reminder for your premiere! I can’t wait! My dad and I are fixing up a ‘98 MK2. We live in Ireland, so there was a lot of rust! (We had to use a heat gun on the crank pulley bolt when we were doing the timing belt/water pump.)
Miata Dad
TheCarPassionChannel rotary swapped Miata on your channel when 🤔
yes Greg, do a 13b pport miata. Cali is loaded with great rotary builders. i know your setup now is wicked, but u should consider building a reata
6:03 When the mechanic asks you what does the engine noise sound like.
One of my fav cars I owned! Such a good driving experience, I only sold mine as I couldn’t afford the depreciation, I paid like 11k for mine in 05 and had to sell it 9 months later for like 8k ha ha I ended up buying a golf r32 which was fantastic but really did love driving the rx8, the interior and sound system was epic, loved the way the screen flipped round, was so ahead of its time
Great job Car throttle , adore rotary and cars from Mazda, you give me inspirational ideas , I can now think that I may start a rotary project by myself not far in future， thank you!
RX-8 ♥
I remeber the RX* was one of the highest reviewed cars by Jeremy Clarkson
6:12 that fly by was on point 👌
Damnit I've binged the whole rx8 series at 2 am and now I really want one😂
