Replaced my coolant bottle and in the process I swapped out the overflow hose with a longer one from a RX7 to reroute it.

No more low coolant light!

In GA at least...where all my tickets have been, the prosecutor's offer a "deal" or two and you pick which pill you want...I've always gone for the 50% off sale myself lol. Sometimes you get a two for one deal like, 50% off and a reduction in speed.

went on the track and raced against friend's bmw 335 twinturbo (we are both very inexperienced on track). Rx8 won, bmw dash lights went on after every 2-3 circles, and he had to stop for the engine to cool down, says he goes to repairs every month ;-) . I had to add a little oil. Love it!

I just filled up a full tank before the price hike, so I refrained from driving a lot and hope to last until the prices settle back down.

The 19s() make your stock brakes look small, time for a BBK? Over all, it looks like it came from a Mazda catalog/brochure you see on the coffee table in the dealer BTW, use a file recovery program to retrieve the corrupted files you lost from your SD card.

Yeah I have cross drilled rotors but I want a BBK bad. It's on my short list of things to get. I know I won't benefit much from them but it will help at shows

She looks pretty awesome for being over 8 years old. She has never had any body work done other than replacing the front bumper with the shaved emblem one. I tried recovering the files, they are just gone. I don't have a clue what happened but I'm always down for another shoot

What (program, if you have one,) did you use to recover the files? I have a simple Windows-OS program called: Stellar "Phoenix Photo Recovery 5". Purchased it for $45, 8 months ago and it's been very handy. I have about 80 - 90% successful recovery even if the SD card have been formatted numerous times. It's the only product I've tried, there may be other available out online.
