BC New member saying hi!

Hey everyone, just wanted to break into the forums and say hello from BC. I've been lurking and reading around the forums for quite some time now and figured it was time to introduce myself

I bought a 2009 R3 back last September and after a few months of troubleshooting problems that the previous owner has caused (overfilled oil causing oiled intake, improperly bled clutch, and the list goes on) I have finally got her purring as happy as ever, although I feel with all the changes to the intake and exaust system I would need to re tune before I get her in top shape.

Overall everything I have heard about this car has held up through all the rides and I'm happy I can be a part of the roatary community! Cheers

They're not the best pictures but with Vancouvers constant rain and having a white car makes it difficult to get a good shoot going :P

Odd that your R3 has those wheels instead of the R3 ones.

Thanks for the post! And yeah unfortunately they were taken off and sold separately.... I guess he wanted to make some extra money but it's a damn shame they were parted since he made it seem like he got those rims aftermarket. Wasn't till I had it in my garage that I realized they were stock R3 rims

Rims are due to the previous owner selling them off the car to try and make more money :/
Still I think the stock 18s are better for handling overall anyway

The stock R3 rims are the 19's shown in the pic above. And don't you worry it handles just fine on them! They were made by BBS and are pretty light weight for 19" rims.

Too bad on the previous owner selling them.
