What did you do with your RX8 today?

2012 Mazda RX8 GT
Today I took my RX8 for a fun ride from Toronto to London Ontario.
Was a perfect sunny morning. Cruising at 140 kms, and a few times hitting 165kms.
The engine was buzzing happily and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. So smooth, so agile. The more you push the pedal, the wilder the ride gets. What a thrill !

I just put in a parking light bulb and socket. It was more difficult than I was expecting, though that's partly because I dropped it behind the housing trying to screw it in.

Changed my oil, rotated my tires, wiped down my dash, door panels, & engine covers, and polished my exhaust tips with a 20 something year old can of Eagle One wadding that I forgot I had.
Still works!

Got caught in a snow storm, 70cm of snow fallen overnight.
Turned off the traction, covered an 0.6km uphill stretch sideways.
RWD = cant go straight, try going sideways lol

Finally programmed the Homelink to my garage door openers after 2.5 years.
I don't park in the garage, my wife's stoopid Venza does.
Hers isn't programmed either.
Told her she needs to do it herself, so she uses the remote.

i washed the car on the way home from work. for those of you that work in a restaurant, or have in the past, know there is an awful stink from the crap from the dish room floor that gets in the mats, so i took them out and pressure washed them, so much better. later last night (technically early this morning), i went ahead an cleaned my center console. the compartment just behind the cup holders (the "hidden" one) was missing the felt piece. so i made a new one tonight, fits perfect. so i will probably make another out of a heavier felt. (this was just the walmart craft section crap.)

Took the front bumper off, and the intake out to install the Odula ram intake that arrived today... while I was in there, added a layer of aluminum tape to the heat shield. The intent is to keep the mods invisible but effective...
HVAC aluminum tape and some time...

Replaced all ignition coils with plugs. Changed engine mountings, changed from upper suspension arm bushes, Vacuum pipe from map sensor to engine was cut so fixed it properly. Serviced throttle body, used caltex coolant in the radiator and flushed it.Put hi octane with Liqui moli fuel injector cleaner.
All problem fixed, no check lights, engine starts within 2 seconds whether hot or cold. Drove it to 220 km/hr. Such a beauty when you sort out all the issues. and the most important thing is that it is cheaper to do all that stuff in my county Pakistan.
Anyone here guide me about the cooling mods so that the car dont heatup sooner in summer and fan com on sooner? OR i should not mess with the original thermostat settings?

Hi brother, I have a question, i saw your under the hood pics of RX8, The black pipe from water /Coolant reservoir tank is connected to the grey colored pipe.. can i ask where that grey colored pipe is connected or you added an extension of small black pipe to throw over flow water?

Hey, can you please tell me that small black pipe from coolant tank which is connected to other grey or silver colored pipe is connected to which part or you just added extension of the black pipe to throw over flow water?
