My car clocks in at 175,200 miles while I was driving on the way to have my tires replaced at the tire shop, then this happens:

 

Er, what happened? Your bumper cracked on its own or what?

 

I was stopped at an intersection and a Mini Cooper S rear-ended me.

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that, I hope his insurance will cover it ok.

 

Maybe it was my old one (last car, before my 8) that I got rear-ended in september by a '93 civic lol. Sorry about your 8 though

Today I changed my spark plugs because the old ones were really scary from my secondary injector being disconnected. Runs even better now..no more P0300

 

replaced the undertray, it had the most amazing collection of zipties, bailing wire and even a bungee cord holding it on! it was almost cooler just to leave it on.

and of course upload failed, so you'll have to imagine it

 

Well, I will be installing these very soon, as the just came in today!

very nice! we did the side show for the WTCC race last year, and those cars were all on KW's

 

ive done the same thing today as i have for the last week...stared at her and reminisced about the summer days while contemplating how to get rid of the concrete hard snowbanks surrounding it so i can drive it again.

 

MMMMMMM, new shiney things, me likes!

 

I drove my 2004.

It has not reached 34K yet.

 

Installed the R3 wheels I bought from another member on here.

 

Busy day, mostly just did replacement of worn out trim.

Replaced window door trim (it was all chipped)
Installed front and rear mud guards
Replaced center console silver trim
Fixed squeak in glovebox
Replaced front swaybar bushings

Tomorrow - replace front endlinks

 

New brake pads, coils, and wires.

 

last week i fixed all the broken stuff on the drivers seat of the blue car, pics to come later, but the lumbar didn't work, heater didn't work, and i'd get an occasional airbag light from the seat position sensor.

turns out all three were cause by wires that were chafing on stuff not sure if its just an early car 6/03, or someone was in there before me, but where you route the seat wires is important!

also getting to the seat back on a leather seat is a PITA!

today i put redline in the trans and diff of the grey car, MAN its so quiet an smooth now...

 

Attempted to fix my EPS system with electrical contact cleaner and die-electric grease only to realize my issue was the u-joint.

Also, she finally got a wash after 3 months of snow and salt.

quick clean.

 

I looked at it.

 

Installed a newly wrapped wheel over the weekend...

 

Very Nice!

 

Thanks! Google Dallas Custom Steering Wheel if anyone's interested. They do great work as this is not my first custom wrapped wheel. In all, it was a total of ~$419 shipped with extra 1/8" padding.

 

wheel looks great!

yesterday i drove it like it was a normal car.

today i went to the DMV and finally the blue one has license plates, but since its been like 6 months already and nobody seems to care, i might see if i can go like 12 months with no plates...

 

Just got my RX-8 2 days ago! Went to the currency exchange today to get my temp license plates and order my vanity plates. I've never driven a manual before so yesterday and today were learning days -- going around the suburbs / non-busy streets and getting a feel for everything.

 

Welcome to the forum then!
