MOdel is Shine RX8-SS-B
in the middle by the doors is black electric tape I haven't taken it out, just had it there to hold them tight so the 3m double sided tape help right.

 

Ended up keeping my Mazdaspeed coilovers so i put them on

 

Looks very clean.

 

Thanks, I was trying to keep a factory fitted look but make it look upto date as well.

 

I like those rims, car sits nice & looks good.

 

Finally!!! Spring showed so I took the car out of storage(NICE)!!!!!!!

 

Washed my car, then a bird pooped on it....

 

I hate it when that happens,finally get it finished nice and then SPLAT!!!!

 

I detailed the RX8 I picked up on Saturday from front to back because the dealership has a very interesting idea of "detailed". Heading back out in a moment to polish the surface rust off the wheels. If the weather is nice this weekend I will probably clay it in preparation to deal with the road rash chips. It's awesome to have a car that I care about again.

 

Spent some money today, €350 for two new Dunlop SP Sports on the rear in readyness for my trip to Italy this week. Also fitted two new numberplates as the originals were getting a bit scruffy around the edges and didnt have the 'euro flag thingy' on the sides.



Smartened up the plastic as well, especially around the exhausts after recieving some Auto Glym plastic and bumper care gel in the post the other day, this stuff really works wonders on faded greying trim as you can see.

 

Spring arrived here also !! My 8 is alive and well after a 4 month hibernation. Changed oil and filter, drove it like it needs to be driven. What a car !

 

Just got done washing and applying the second coat of wax.

 

took it out of storage today :D

 

Got to hear my 65 year old mother tell me after hearing my 8 for the first time that it sounded "wicked"

 

nice

 

Hit 307 grams per second on my ap today, running only 7 psi. Feels pretty fast, my buddies sti can't pull on me anymore. Can't wait for the next map.

 

Replaced my clutch. Glad thats over

 

Washed my 8 yesterday, then drove through 800 miles of rain from AL to PA. Guess I'll wash it again tomorrow so it can rain on it again tuesday. lol. I was really impressed with my fuel economy though. Ended up averaging almost 23 miles/gal over the course of the 800+ mile trip.

 

As I've had the new coilovers on for 3 days, decided to have a blast while it was dry yesterday. Had some fun down the lanes and around roundabouts... lost some traction accelerating in 2nd half way through a roundabout which cr@pped me up a little but all is good...

 

did some work on the 8 this weekend and drove it for the first time in months. new ignition, oil change, tranny/diff fluids, tire pressure ect. god dam ive missed my car

 

+1! trans is heavy...

 

Drove my car to work for the first time in nearly 3 months. Realized how much slower everyone else was driving compared to when I drive my pickup.
ZoomZoom!

 

Got new motor mounts installed today, and oil change! All for free because dealership said we bought the car from them so this time it is on them!

Also, one of the service managers there or something installed a free chrome/silver license plate frame for my front license plate. He said he only gives this to rx8 owners he likes. :D

The shifting is so much more smoother with these new mounts, feeeeeels goooooooooood.

 

An oil change with 5W-20?

 

5W-20 Non Synthetic. I thought that was fine
