Hello everyone!
I'm new around here, but I've owned my R3 since 2013. I wasn't really into tuning/modifications until lockdown when I started having less trips to bars/restaurants and put that excess money into my car.
I've made a few mods to my car so far, but I still have a load more I want to do. I'm almost completely LED as far as interior and exterior lights. I just have my glove box and two parking lights to do which will be done by the end of this weekend. I've been following Goobie's thread on this site and he's inspired most of the mods going into my car, and I hope to share the updates as I go along with the mods. I'll also create a thread to showcase what's gone into the car so far. Hopefully you all join me on this journey and I can gather a lot of knowledge about the R3 along the way.
Cheers

Re: New Here
Always good to see a new owner, there is plenty to read up on these great cars with even more benefits in the members only areas so maybe consider becoming a full club member.

Re: New Here
Thanks! There'll be a lot to come over the next few weeks/months. I can't create a thread at the moment as I'm still a registered guest, but as soon as I my membership comes through I'll start posting. I'm also trying to figure out how to change my username, as I don't like that it's the defaulted to my email address. Anyone know how to do this?

Re: New Here
Welcome to the club! Another R3 in white to.
Thanks, you wasn't the random guy at one of the service stations on the M25 late Sep was you? As I parked up in my R3 to go in some young ish guy was walking out and starting talk to me about my R3 saying he had seen my car on the forum etc and now wanted one.onfire7_52 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 11:17 pmI've been following Goobie's thread on this site and he's inspired most of the mods going into my car, and I hope to share the updates as I go along with the mods.

Re: New Here
I tell you what - there seem to be an influx of people who really truly know what the best colour for an RX-8 or an R3 is... I love it
