Yay!!! I got my ceiling textured today. Now I have to paint it.
And, no...I did not sneeze and have paint residue blown onto the ceiling.
In other news, Mazda is warrantying my steering column. A plactic shim moved out of place and I have a bunch of play in the steering wheel. I'm waiting to find out when I have to bring it in.
And I can't wait to get an R3. I'm thinking of getting one around next March, but I may see if I can hold off a couple of months to see what the 2010s look like.
And I've been having fun on the suzuki. Got some riding in this weekend. 60mpg is really nice for short errands and stuff.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.

it helps improve about 10 hp. but its not really noticable.....just like with any nother car. Also, the only intakes for the 8 that don't require the removal of the front bumber, are the K&N drop in filter *which does nothing*, and the HKS racing suction *which if your not in a full race setup i wouldn't spend the extra money*
Hey tony, do u still work at the ritz carlton?

If i get rained out this weekend from my job i might see about going down that way and gettin it. I been meaning on heading back down that way for a lil road trip since katrina. If not this weekend maybe next. just pm me your number. I would do it by paypal but my account is currently down right now. My 8 is all stock with the exception of a new motor, exhaust and the 09 flash. I would like to get the intake that mates with this. Is removing the bumper hard to do? Does the pulley help out any?

Removing the front bumper is very easy. Bumper Removal
I had the agency crank pulley installed on my 8 and it made the car rev a little faster.
I also have the rx8 black dippled all weather floor mats. $30

headlight tips
Alright, i'm the certified rx8 headlight master now.
if your headlight is ever going to leak, i have a pretty good idea where it will be coming from. when i open my hood, there is a slight portion of the headlight that is exposed underneath the actual hood. There is an exposed seal, which on my headlights, looks like some black glue or something.
Anyway, on both headlights, the portion of the seal that is exposed underneath the hood looks cracked and chipped. I applied a seal to the driver side headlight and no more fogging or water entry for 4 days+.. includes washing the car too.
As far as how to dry your headlight out if you get water in it, simply take out your bright bulb, leave your hood open on a dry day, and it will typically dry itself.
As far as the visible seal around the headlight that touches the fenders, it looks virtually impossible to leak from that area unless cracked. It looks like, from the condition of BOTH of my headlights, that the exposed seal underneath the hood where water enters through the crack of the hood and fender is the problem area.
I know, I helped everybody.
