New to rx8 finally getting to know my car
Bought the car almost 7 weeks ago and I love it. She gets attention and comments almost everywhere I go. I wish I could command that kind of attention but my looks ain't what they used to be... I'm starting to wonder if its possible to be jealous of your car 
oddly enough I find myself dressing nicer when I drive it almost as if it's shaming me to "clean it up Mr.!" Haha
The car has 45k miles and it took 4 oil and filter changes in my first 600 miles of driving it to get the old oil draining the same color as new so we're good there...
Changed the following with new parts:
Coils
Wires
Plugs
Air filter
Cabin air filters
Manual trans oil
Rear differential gear oil
Battery
Cleaned MAF sensor
MAZDA is dealing with recall stuff
Rotors and pads are in transit
I can't really think of anything else st this point although glad to hear suggestions.
The cabin air filters were DIGUSTING I doubt they were changed before. With AC season coming soon here I would have been sucking this in YIKES.

This shouldn't be in the DIY threads that's normally for a step by step on how to do something not a list of stuff you have done. this should be either the lounge or (this is a stretch) the build threads.
if you're lucky a mod might show up and move it for you
