Oh hell yeah thats beautiful

Stunning in black!

Beautiful in black, quite possibly the best color for the RX8. What year is it? And how do you compare the handling of the R3 vs your old RX8?

zoned 08-29-2010 09:27 AM

it's an 09. the R-3 just feels more planted than my 05. the only suspension work i had done to it was racing beat sways and endlinks, it handled great, but this new one is like a matchbox car. the Bilsteins, 19's, and new strut braces make everything stiff.

wish we could get white in the R3. You can in Canada but not the US.
Black would be my 2nd favorite color. Congrats man.
I really like what they did underneath the car.

Nice, all three of our local R3 owners drove Series I's too. It must be a trend.

this makes me miss my rx8
but congrats
i love black r3s

wow, that is one sweet looking machine. The black looks incredible. I tend to stay away from the darker colors because they show dirt and scratches, but then when I got my RX, it is in the garage, safe from the elements, show I could have had white, it really wouldn't have mattered! Anyways, could you give us a few more comments on the differences of how your machines feels and performs compared to the original? I've read extensively about the stiffness of the R3, is it TOO stiff for everyday driving? I just love the feel of my 2008, it has the ability to rock and roll when called upon, but it never feels too stiff. cheers.

Nah .... I have an r3 and I love it, not too stiff at all. I added the sway bars and links , as well and it handles like you wouldn't believe.

if they have 0% apr, I might think about getting one.

btw, nice new ride.
