Relaxing day working on the car.

Picked this 9800 mile (now) R3 up 2 weeks ago, drove it home and started ordering. Ordered new NGK plugs and wires, and the Spirit R "C" coils from Mazmart (excellent service and shipping tyvm) Redline fluids for the transmission and diff, washers for everything, OEM filter, oil, yellow LED fogs, and today, I went to town. The car is in such good shape, nothing underneath was rusted or hard to remove. This girl is 8 years old, but basically brand new. Couldn't find a speck of rust on a bolt, nothing!

next is a set of tires since these are the original 2010 ones, plenty of meat, but getting too old for my liking. Coolant change coming too even though FL-22 is rated for 10 years. Then a catback and the S2 Autoexe steering wheel from Mazmart. I like a thick wheel. The OEM feels too thin.

I remember seeing a red R3 in my area as well.

Is it me or GTs are actually harder to see in the wild?

Yeah, the AutoExe steering wheel is a lot better than OEM, especially if you have big hands.

I'm jealous of your lack of rock chips on the front.

I found one on top of a fender. Which I blended immediately. She looks like she just rolled off the assembly line.
