40th anniversary Edition
Always loved Sophia Loren, the actress, so i like your car being named Sophia, very beautiful !
I call my 40th Anniversary edition "Zena" like the warrior princess. Aero package with matching mudflaps and spoiler, fender strakes, compact spare tire and mount, BHR ignition, BHR clutch pedal assembly, Mazdaspeed CAI, Remedy lower temp thermostat, Remedy water pump,Cooling fans lower temp switch kit, Koyo Hyper V-core radiator, oil coolers lower temp thermostats,Racing Beat AST closed coolant tank system, Series 2 fuel pump. New brakes, clutch, and reman engine (under warranty,at 64k miles,with two weeks left on Mazda warranty) Runs better than when bought new in May 2008. Meticulous maintenance. Drive everywhere in US, all seasons. But have had a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 GT (named Gabriel, Zena's sidekick) and my reborn original 2000 Mazda Protege ES to share work,mundane around-town and winter bad weather driving chores.
Inside :OBD2 bluetooth dongle with Torque-pro app on my android cellphone, Racing Beat "rotary" sound volume ****, added aux sound input for the Bose 6-disc changer system, factory Sirius satellite radio kit. Solar-powered Bluetooth phone receiver/speaker.

40th anniversary Edition
yes ,they did lower the temps, as observed on my Torque app. You get about 20-25% of your engine cooling from the oil, and 75-80% from your engine coolant system. It helps overall
I plan on moving to Texas late this summer, so I wanted all the cooling help I could muster in my RX8.

This is from DGRR 2017 - Courtney Jean photography snapped it in front of the cabin lodge. Her work is incredible! Unfortunately my car is up for sale now - there's a post in the SE for sale section. Picked up an FD that needs my love...

Just the other day I entered my 8 into my team's first 9hr endurance race..We finished 6th in class after leading for over an hour in class.
