"new" 8 owner...again.
What's up everyone, I'm not exactly new to the forum, but it's been awhile since I've had an 8 so I figured I'd re-introduce myself lol.
Since my last 8, I've been through way too many cars, but it's nice to be back in an 8.
I just picked up an 06 Shinka; copper red, 44k miles. I like the car a lot, but it's got some of the usual 8 issues.
I've got a misfire at idle so after I replace all the fluids looks like the ignition is next.
My last Mazda.

Plans for the new 8 are just reliability mods, powertrix coilovers and wheels which I'm on the fence about. Just wanting to keep it reliable and have a nice car to cruise around in again.
Sorry for the long post lol.
