What did you do with your RX8 today?
#477
I washed her, waxed, cleaned the interior, windows, back to black the rear plastic under the bumper, glossy shined the tires and cleaned the horrible
Mazda 6 wheels I'm rolling with. Anyways my baby is all cleaned up!
Cheers!

I took her on some amazing cliff side roads through Palos Verdes for a little spirited driving
. If anyone lives in the area they should definitely drive along Portuguese Bend on Palos Verdes Dr. E and Palos Verdes Dr. S.
If you're lowered take it slow in the beginning. There are two really steep drops. On Palos Verdes Dr. S before you turn onto E.

That's the only time it's ever been towed, the last time I drove it was a day after it's anniversary(July 29th). I had an oil leak while I was driving on the freeway, heard the metal shavings sounds. It was pretty obvious that it was the end and it ran it's last mile, it officially clocked out at 167,305 miles in it's Original Factory Engine. I don't know if that's considered to be a catastrophic failure?

Tell me how you like your new shifter. I love mine, but as most other owners, it definitely adds some extra noise. Not sure why. Different materials???
So i finally gave in and bought a AFE SS. Put it in this morning and needless to say, I'm quite happy with it.

Also last week i ended up replacing my rotors and pads.
I went with Racing Brake 1-Piece Open Slot Rotors and Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads all around.
I'm happy with both of these as well.

battery to strut, strut to frame ( in the pic above you can see the oem ground distributor on the frame at the top left of the pic, that is what i mean by "frame", for strut, use one of the the strut bolts)
battery to alternator, alternator to throttlebody (alternator adjustment bolt, or if you dont want to muck with that, one of the bolts holding the alternator case on, then to a bolt on the throttlebody)

I took an hour today to mod my rear bumper. Cut out the neato fake mesh nonsense for a little real mesh action. Now my pretty little muff...ler peeks out the back like my 8 is wearing the shortest prom dress ever.
