That looks like a hell of a great time.

I had a Formula SAE car at school, and driving that was the best time of my life...racing rules.

Where does everyone bring their 8 to get it serviced? When I first brought it to Mazda in Smithtown they were basically retarded and I'd like to avoid going there if possible.

No the other thermostat that says RX8 on it lol If you have the money... get the coils... also while your ordering order new washers for your oil drain plug, differential and tranny.... they are seriously like .05 cents each... the only issue is finding the little *****!!!
