No I don't mind, but it'll be saturday or sunday before I can post pics. I first noticed this difference when I looked into doing the "washer fluid de-flood" procedure.

The dealer master mechanic was telling me about that... But beside bit of difference out side the car and few add on on the engine (and the seat), I don't know if its worth it... Especially you know as soon as you drive out of the dealership, it will loose 1/4 of its value.. I mean, I bought my 8 in 07 and paid less than 1/2 of what the original buyer paid... As a person who owned pretty much all generation of RX7s, I say if you got 30+K to blow (unless you are financing it) I would get an FD. Its a completely different beast.. Unless you turbo your 8.. But I'm guessing you are not going to do that to an 09 R3.

That would be awesome! I would like to see what these small differences that makes the older vs newer more reliable... or if its just age on the engine or ECU.
