After playing the cat and mouse game with many Mazda sales rep from different dealerships. I finally found one in Ohio a 2 hours drive from me with a great price and couple of free stuff included in the deal.

The r3 will be coming off the delivery truck at the mazda dealer next week some time with only 3 miles on my new r3 and will be picking that bad boy up next Friday.

This is going to be a looooooong week .........

Thanks for the compliments.. Yes the blue mica was a good choice over the black. I rely like it, the seats the way it handles straight out the box very nice ride i do recommend it for people thinking of buying it.

To tell you the truth buy looking at the car to me it really does not need any changes it looks really good the way it is ( to each is own)...

Now on the other hand the new project that will be finished next year is all out balls to the wall crazy machine... (FD 3 rotor ppt dry sump t56 8.8 ford )

Thanks

I will post more pics soon...

Default R3

I had my first opportunity to see the R3 in person yesterday. The blue really looks amzing. The back seats are utterly useless other than a package shelf. But it really does look nice in blue.

I've been looking for a nice deep blue to paint my 7 with and this might be it. I'm wanting to see one in person but the local dealerships don't have one in stock. Only black.

I like the interior of the new 8, but the front end ruins the whole car for me. Too damned smiley.
