What did you do with your RX8 today?

First, I did the oil change... It went from there to another: Buffed out the headlight lenses, removed the damaged front bumper and the under trays, removed the OEM front spoiler, finally installed my A/C Condenser screen that's been in my trunk for half a year, and found out about the tow hooks in the trunk so I attached to see it on the bumper support. I may as well do a coolant flush and replace the spark plugs while all these stuff are uninstalled.
Cleaned up the replacement bumper then installed all the buffet of parts.

This was sorta strange. I just took mine to grab some groceries and on the way back, saw a virtually identical 8. The only visible difference was the color of the wheels. Mine are black, this one one had dark bronze wheels. Spooky Friday the 13th stuff!!! Okay, maybe not

Washed it, waxed it, cleaned the interior, conditioned the leather, washed the factory floormats in the washing machine and now they look brand new and smell nice.

Round trip from Grand Rapids to Detroit for a baseball game. Light traffic on the way back, so decided to feed it some gas and see what happened. Learned I could hit 120 in 4th. Will need to find a place where I can explore the upper limits of 5th and 6th.

Installed a BHR midpipe and did an oil change. I was really close to completely tearing off the exhaust hanger when removing the OEM Cat (took me about 15 minutes of prying to get it off the hanger )
Tomorrow (or later today): Trans and diff fluid change as well as a coolant flush if i'm not too hungover

I got the no cat no second O2 (don't plan on going FI anytime soon). I will try and get a sound clip of it later today. I'm loving the way it sounds, it's not too loud until you get to the 5K+ band then it just sounds amazing.
