I love my LY '04, the color is unique and the car just runs perfectly...It's either get an R3 or finally upgrade that suspension with some Teins or something...

If I can get a deal like the one you got, I'll go R3. I love the car and the warranty. Wish me luck.

Found 2 dealers inside 100 miles that still have an R3 left, but they are both Mica...Oh well. I will miss the Lightning Yellow...

Keep you posted.

I kept searching online doing a 500 mile radius lol because i knew if i found it... id drive to get it. Worth the 4 hour drive one way to pick it up!

Dont be.. they are INSANELY uncomfortable. 4 hour drive killed me lol maybe its because im so damn short? Love the interior, love the seats, but omg i wish they were comfortable =(

I'd offer an interior swap, but I have red/black interior, and I don't imagine you want that with a blue R3, haha.

I've sat in the R3 seats before, and they were just right for me. I'm actually not that big of a guy, but for some reason, they just fit, and I loved them.

I bet you'll get used to them. I drove 4 hours to get my S1 and my back was killing me by the time I made it home. I thought maybe the seats just weren't that comfortable but after a week or so i got used to it. I'm sure it will be the same for you even though the R3 seats are a bit more sporting.

Yay my BHR ignition kit came in the mail today =))

I almost got a 2011 R3 in red, and If i did, i woulda swapped you interiors! Dealer offered it to me for 23,8. But i wanted blue!

Well the two R3s near me are gone. Gonna have to extend the search or give up.

Congratulations on a great deal. Glad to see you stayed with a rotary!

Theres a 2009 r3 blue one in Charleston SC with 11k miles on it. dealer asking 21k for it. its a kia dealer...

MS Addict 10-11-2011 11:18 PM

Ah, I was looking at a red one at the dealer I got mine from, but being able to get my 04 for a third of the price is what made me go for it instead. There was a blue one for $23k with 9k mi a while back, just before I got mine in March, but they were being douchebags so I decided it wasn't worth giving them my money.

But blue is still absolute sexy, I approve. :P

Renesis555 10-12-2011 01:49 AM

Seeing this has made me want to save up for an R3 now. lolol the addiction continues... Nice car RX8Lovah :) Very sexy.

philipchan 10-12-2011 11:53 AM

congratulations
a set of good coilovers will be awesome, lower + better performance :)
i wish they make yellow color, i would be all over it ....

RX22 10-25-2011 09:30 AM

Congrats! You'll love the R3 difference. I'm sorry you couldn't find one in red. Ha! Just kidding, I love the blue, too.
