New Rx8 r3! Traded my 04 in!
Welp the time has come.... I traded in my 04 GT with 67k miles in for a 2009 rx8 r3 aurora blue.. Drove down 4 hours on friday to pick it up! She is completely stock - For the moment... lol Ive already ordered a bhr ignition kit, and metra kit (now to pick out my in dash screen) was thinking of a pioneer x930bt. :-) im excited to be able to do mods instead of repairs. in a few weeks i cant decide if i want to throw a bhr midpipe with a racing beat exhaust, or lower her...
Anyways Here she is....
Anyways Here she is....

and congrats on the R3. that blue is definitely hot!
Dont mind if I ask, but how much did you get for the trade in? I've been thinking about trading in my 04 NG for an 09 also.

Aurora Blue is sooooo nice!
And I say go with the exhaust! I might start thinking about getting the metra kit... I was just going to get an iPod adapter for mine, but getting the metra kit might seem a little better. Let me know how it works out for you.
Anyways, nice upgrade!

+1 for the 920! Paimon recommended it to me and I am loving it so far, just installed it this past weekend

The Aurora Blue R3 is a great looking car. Congrats! I searched for one for a long time but the right deal never happened.
BTW, are you in the Army?

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 =(

my other car is a 787b
Either way nice choice - I wish I could pick up an R3 myself.
Can I ask why put a head unit in an R3? Seems like the wrong model to load up with audio gear? Just my opinion. I'd probably strip it down to the lightweight sound system...
Still - drool.

Congratulations! You have also inspired me...
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.
