So, I said earlier in this thread that I'd post videos from Mid-Ohio, and I have in another thread. Just to mention it here, they're at www.scottbarton.net/anthony/mid-ohio/videos
right-click and save-as to your desktop

I looked at my pads and I (incredibly) have 1/2 the pad left and the rotors look brand new! I've never gone through less than 85% of my pads in a weekend!

Anyway, the HP+ pads and rx7store.net slotted brembo rotors worked great.

So, I've been looking at Spin9k's ducts and like the idea. I'm surprised that Mazda didn't put in actual ducts (not to be confused with the "flairs" that I referred to before, lol) in this car. My former '95 325is had ducts in it from the factory.

Does anyone think that Mazda would have a problem if I returned my leased RX-8 with cooling ducts installed? What's the worst that could happen? I'd have to buy a set of wheel liners?

cooling ducts would be a clear giveaway that the car has likely been tracked, I wouldn't advise turning it in that way less you get dinged or even forced into making a purchase

your BMW didn't need twin oil coolers in the nose instead ...
