You have any other suggestions? I noticed the manual said "Mazda recommended oil" or something :s

And how often do you fill the oil? On every second gas-fillup?

I got it for 180 000,- even though the asking price was 199 000,-. I just told him I had a friend who was willing to sell his for 220 000,- with alot less mileage

Nice... That's not bad at all. And no, I don't really have any other suggestions regarding the oil. I think we'll just have to pay for that overpriced **** :/ I'm sure other oils work but I think the best and most safe solution is to go with the recommended one. I check my oil level each third gas-fillup or so and adding when it's neccessary.

Just got a package in the mail from RX8Strakes.com :D

Bought a new shift-**** in silver & the silver rotor logo/design on the front of the car, looks really cool. Can't wait for the summer to arrive here so I can check out my 19s Wondering whether I should drop the ca / buy some springs too, but I got speed-bumps in my neighborhood and it almost scrapes the undercarriage each time :/

Anyone have any tips on what to "do" with the car next? I was thinking about tinting the windows. Not a big fan of the side-intake strakes, I don't think it looks that good :p
I was also really interested in the iPod conversion thing, but it seems that it requires quite a lot of work? Is it hard to do for someone with "little" car mechanic experience?
