About to hit 121,000 on the way home today!
Read up on pre-mixing and decided to give it a shot. ~7oz to a full tank. Gas mileage stayed around 21mpg but the car runs smoother and seems to have more of a growl at idle. But that last part might be in my head.

Unfortunately, no. I did the “restart while warm/cold” test a few times across multiple test drives but that really means nothing. I’ve looked up a rotary mechanic local to work but I’m always running so I haven’t taken it in yet.

Another GT! Nice.
So you got the useless factory nav as well?
Carfax will give you some ideas on the history of the car, but it won't show you who exactly the previous owner is.

Depends on where you live, this may or may not be available in your area, although I would expect this to reach everywhere in North America by now.
My local dealer has placed a little yellow sticker on the underside of the hood after it's been performed. There should be some indication, usually a sticker, to show it's been done.

Useless NAV: Check!
As far as I can tell the airbag hasn’t been changed. The dash is cracked all around where it is.
I was actually hoping the last owner would be on here and recognize the car. Would be nice to know if the engine was original or not and also the name of the wheels.
Edit: Also, the factory fogs are gone. Any place I can source these or is it not worth the time?

LOL yes, I am not alone. Very few GTs actually come with the factory nav, hence why I am keeping it.
The airbag recall doesn't replace the cover, so even if they replaced the airbag, they would put your old cover back on.
A dealer will be able to tell you the engine history as Loki mentioned.
You can look on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and see if there are any GT/R3 8s in junkyards near you. If you still have the electrical connectors for them, then they should just pop in easily.

It works, it's just very outdated. The most recent update I can find is from 2014.

Welp...
At 129,500 this baby got bad enough I couldn’t shift. In my naivety I bought a new master and slave cylinder and installed them only to find the problem wasn’t resolved. Time to run a bead.
