9g’s?! Wow! Even R3’s can’t hold their value all that much. 9g’s for what it is, pretty damn good price. Plus it’s in blue! Very nice.

2006 GT "Shinka?"

Montreal south shore.

Shinka in " " because it has all of the Shinka features (White leather/alcantara seats, foam filled crossmember, piano black trim, BOSE, etc) but does not appear on the VIN list...not sure why.

I guess not... I know what you mean. It still kinda surprises me though. The 8 is so good to drive. It’s severely underrated

Tsawwassen, BC 2009 R3 finally on wheels

This brave soul just chewed its own heart (aka coolant seals), still runs smooth, but parked for engine rebuild.

75-76k

I left a hose clamp off and the damage was done by the time low coolant light came on.

Damn. That's unfortunate. But it only has 75k on the clock. Get a replacement engine in there and you'll enjoy a sweet ride for many years to come.

Looking at a few different options. Started pulling the motor out, almost 85% done.

Picking up a damaged vehicle to swap motors soon. This motor will probably sit for a while till I make up my mind.

Do a quick swap to get the car back on the road sooner while you attempt to rebuild this one. Pretty sure it's still good. Just needs a good rebuild..

Rescue1

Hi,
My new name is Rescue1. I am a 2009 R3 with 65k. I got severe hail damage this spring and was probably going under the knife as a donor for my precious parts, but this guy saved my life. Now I have been rid of that silly cat that kept biting me all the time and also the evil power robbing K&N Typhoon intake!!!! I hope to live a healthy and happy life, my new friend loves my dimply looks. He bought me new front glass and transplanted rear glass, hood, mirrors from a silver8. I have aftermarket wheels with 285-30-18 tires, Kenwood stereo with sub and AP exhaust. He has plans for me yet, probably a heart transplant...... cheers
