What did you do with your RX8 today?

A beautiful 67° blue sky day, took a drive through the country with the windows down and sunroof open, which I hardly ever do.
Life is good.

Water Foul
I took it to the track, and:
1. Shaved 2 seconds off my consistent personal best lap time; and
2. Discovered the wonder of Carbotech brake pads.
Life is indeed good.

I cleaned the ESS, installed new up and downstream O2 sensors, fixed one engine ground, and reset NVRAM a few days ago. The car is really settling down now and these things seem to have cured much of my recent low rpm, part throttle lack of torque, and the idle is more solid. The ESS was really dirty.
I'll leave these links here for posterity:

Took my car yesterday to get 60K service done, alignment, and tire pressure sensors checked. I never had it properly checked out when I got the car last year so I'm glad to know that everything they checked was good to go, nothing bad so far. All i need now are some good tires for summer and i'll be set for the next few years.

Changed transmission fluid with Erick at GoodBox, gave the intake filter sock a solvent bath (it was caked all around, car is running and breathing much better now), and got a wiring issue fixed with the clutch safety switch that was causing idle hunting and a DTC.

My Borla catback arrived today. Got this exhaust at 4 wheel online. My brother has Borla exhaust and it sounds great so I decided to get one instead of the Magnaflow. Too bad, I need to wait until weekend to have it installed.

Put in new radiator, RB silicon hoses, and new reservoir and cap. I'll post the question in newbie, but anyone have an improvement in the engine running from changing the radiator?

Just picked up my 2010 GT in Virginia, enjoyed the Shenandoah and Monongahela areas and much of WVa and SE Ohio. Came home to have fun removing condensation on the R/R tail light. Damn they changed the taillight to sealed LEDs!

I did this:
WDCR 10/18 STX RX-8 - YouTube

But really excellent driving regardless, you look very fast. And i'm guessing the plowing is just an illusion with the camera angle.

Took it to work for probably the last time this year (supposed to snow tomorrow). But on a good note, will get the BHR ignition installed over the winter so she is ready to run next spring (and the occasional warm winter day drive).
