Hello

I just picked up a brand new 09 r3 black mica

i have been looking around on the forum and is hard to find info on the 09 r3

i really want to mod the car but it does not look like there are any parts for it yet??

am i wrong, looking in the wrong spot?


i want a CAI and exhaust to start.

i kinda like the greddy one but will it fit this car?

thanks for the help

 

I don't have any input...sorry, but I would like to welcome you aboard!

 

Welcome to the Board. I thought there were a few parts out for the new models already...could be mistaken.

 

Thanks

is there that much difference in the models???

 

I know that there is some support out for the 09 but not alot and I want to say that the old CAI will work for the 09 but the exhaust for sure wont (it sits lower or something....cant remember)

 

Racing beat offers a CAI for the 09. Not sure about an exhaust?

Welcome to the club and congrats on the purchase!

 

Good luck with your transmission, enjoy the car, mod the car in a few years after the "mods" have been tested true.

 

good luck with my tranny??

 

Welcome to the cult ...uh I mean addiction.....

Pix of the car

 

nice i like the black with those charcoalish wheels that come with the R3

 

other than the side markers, the only thing i really don't like is how the exhaust sits in there now. i like how the old bumper surrounds it. just looks cleaner, IMO.

nice car though. i got to see a black mica one at my dealership on monday, and I have to say, that is a nice color.

Enjoy!

 

But we can't accidentally melt the bottom half of it

 

Wow. Looks sick in Black...!

Congrats on the car man! Remember, Premix is your friend

 

Real nice looking car!

 

welcome, be patient for a couple years, the aftermarket will really pick up for the 09+.

 

You don't need any expensive aftermarket parts.

Take out your intake box baffles and do a K&N drop-in filter.
Use a steel dowel rod to ream out the stock cat.

There you go, your car is now race prepped.

 

its not that expensive if you're patient and purchase used

My resonated midpipe was 160 shipped, my K&N typhoon was 200 new, I made a ram air with a CF 350Z duct ($25 shipped) and dryer duct . And my TEIN Stechs were 100 shipped off ebay.

So for under $500 installed Im race prepped with a much meaner sounding car with an extra 10-15 horsepower.

 

wow, that is an AWESOME color

 

Welcome to the club.

Racing Beat is what you need.

 

^+1

welcome to the addiction!
i'm insanley jealous that you have an r3!

i know racing beat has already started to make parts for 09s they have an exhaust ready and it does sound sexxy!
