Did My Mx-3 Really Sound Like A Rotary?

Post by Nd4SpdSe »

I knew it sounded different, but after watching the video this week out of nostalgia, it clicked in. You can hear Kp2t (Red Mx3) and Devlin (Black Mx-3) with their ZEs drive away with that typical ZE smoothness, but mine (0:59) and the red FD follows and the FB thereafter sounds very similar.

You forgot to flip the switch from "rotary" to "V6"...
