i love peanut mm's. My brother (19), me and his three friends went to a 7-mile fair once and it was pretty ghetto but they said it was good deals, seems like most of the stuff was 'legit'. This hispanic guy was selling 3 packs of peanut mm big bags for $1, I bought $5 worth of bags so 21 bags and I fit about half in my pocket and they also bought some. Best deal ever. I wish I could gone back and got more but im sure his "truckload" (he was selling out of a truck) is probably sold out by now.

Thanks y'all! I had a Speed3 before trading it in for the TSX. The funny thing is that the girl who bought my Speed3 lives near by and we occasionally see each other on the road. I like the RX8 because it's a rotary. For anyone with an engineering background, you have to own a rotary at least once in your lifetime to appreciate the simplicity, the revs, and smoothness of this tiny engine. Besides, there's no other car on the road that looks like it. And yes, red was a great color and got way too much attention, some good some not so good

Not quite.. I get hot chicks
Thanks Simon. I am ok. Just a battered ego that's all. No worries though, a new build is in the process and you guys will definitely approve of the final product 2-3 months from now

New coils are on order. Tires are just fine. Don't forget, this is winter time here in the MD so cold tires and poor road surface will always be the case. If anything the car was setup too well like a go-kart. If the suspension was softer, I would have not been so confident in pushing it so hard into the corner. Regardless, driver error on my part. Live and learn to be more aware next time. That's the best upgrade I can make

My dad texted me about 30 mins ago saying his battery died, LOL he's in Ohio right now and he's gonna come home around 3 I guess, 30mins from now. I was dying laughing because last week we were gonna go the week and the week before to go get a new one.

damn ben sucks about the R3 i was actually thinking about looking at an R3 at a dealer when i was thinking about trading the tsx and was like nah at the time was an amazing deal didn't know they were that rare. post up some pics when you swap your stuff to this one should look good. PS your avatar looks mighty nice (in borat voice)

Thanks to everyone for their concern and well wishes. I too missed the R3. Even the cops who came to the scene were like "Damn, that's one nice car..." Butt, the silver GT is getting a R3 make over at the moment. The fact that silver R3s were never introduced to the states would make it a very cool build. So far, I swapped out the seats today and the silver GT has a full matching Recaro interior now. Below is my list of to dos:
- Refinish Volks in matching silver with polished lip
- Powder coat BBK calipers to silver
- Swap over Racing Beat exhaust
- Install new PowerTrix Coilovers
- Order factory painted R3 bumpers and side skirts from Japan (JDMPartsOnline)
- Rewrap steering wheel, shift knob e-brake handle in black alcantera
- Build custom center mount sub like the GT-R to put a lil bump in the system
- S/C kit when Petit Racing can figure out how to tune it on the series II RX8.

WOW. dropped off my car at dealer for trim recall. 3 hours later they call me and say they have to order the parts so i should go pick up the car and come back next week. WTF if you didn't have the parts why didn't you tell me that when i got there

This happened to me TWICE! The second time I dropped it off I was like are you sure you have the parts?? "Yes Joe, they are here. Look, I'll pull it up right here. See it's in our inventory."
5 hours later I get a call that they can't find the parts. What a joke!
I literally got my trim replaced yesterday, after they ordered the parts again for the 3rd time.
They do look much better though. No more CF vinyl on them either lol

I loved the M series colors inside the headlights. Subtle but very cool.
