It's only 50 lbs maybe. I figure someone who's overweight is in the same boat as me once I add the subwoofer lol

 

Just installed em today

 

nice r3


i like that you are making it your own...everybody has their own style...

 

Thanks!

 

Looks great...also, I must have been blind but I just realized that R3 wheels basically have 5 rotors in them, how the hell did I miss that?

 

Yeah pretty cool. Just another example showing Mazda's attention to detail.

 

The first Mazda use of that rotary wheel design was on the limited edition 2008 40th Anniversary Edition RX8 in an 18-inch wheel.

 

is it really true that the blue r3 is more faster than a red r3. i have a 2010 red r3 n just on my step on upgrading it. you guys have any tips on what kind of good n affordable coilovers should i get. im thinking tanabe or bilstien but i guess i couldnt drop bilstien down lower than 2" inch can some1 help me....

 

^wtf!

 

Yes, it's true that blue R3s are faster than red R3s. The reason for this is because of the light absorption differences between the paint. The blue paint absorbs electrons at a much greater rate, which are in turn converted to extra battery power. The stronger battery power in turn assists with a stronger spark, producing approximately 23.7 more torque across the power band.

However, this is a feature unique to the R3s. The blue Grand Touring does not have the electron converter for example, so the red Grand Touring is actually faster than the blue.

 

The Lightning Yellow is actually faster because of the weight gain from the absence of mica in the paint.

 

Correct.

The Lightning Yellow R3 is also the rarest one of them all.

 

 

Hahahaha

 

I'm gunna paint my white R3 blue and yellow in kind of a tie-dye effect, how will this affect the electron converter. Should I use a magnet to strain out the mica before hand painting the car with a microfiber brush?

Also just thought of this, being a Canadian, will removing the white paint adversely affect my winter driving experience?

 

It will most definitely adversely affect winter driving. You'll no longer appear out of nowhere during snowstorms!

 

This thread went no where fast... PS blue is fastest. =)

Congrats on the purchase... nice low millage find!!!

I want another one for my DD when I have the cash.

 

Thanks! I was pretty excited to find such a low mileage one. Low mileage and final year!
