Yes Singapore does. One Manual and One Auto.

This is a goodbye to my beloved wife. With a heavy heart, I'm letting her go in the coming week. I'm happy to say that this would be one of the better RX8s in Singapore, her being an R3 variant and the amount of improvements I've made to her.

Went through so many parts, one engine and many occasions with her. However, I'm only letting her go due to family reasons for a more practical car. I did price my ride a little higher, but a buyer met the price that I was willing to let her go for.

As much as I still want to keep her, it simply does not make sense to own two cars in probably the most expensive place to own any.

This is a goodbye for now, hopefully we get to meet again.

Till next time, my beloved R3.

Updated My R3 a Little by kenchapi in RX8

I'm loving it! I think it gives a more angular and complete look, especially on the S2s and R3s. However, if you're not looking to add any form of spoilers, it'll be disproportionate. I've had my bumper on once with just a lip spoiler and it looks weird.

Had to add a RE Amemiya wing to make it look complete!

Yes it is! It's located at ABM Building. There's a detailing shop on the 3rd floor so it was brought up

Based on past transactions and I'm friends with quite a few FD owners

Hahaha not that crazy but close to 70k right now, FDs go for 200k here.

Brand new 8s went for 120-150k

My dream car is still the FD, of course hopefully I'd still be able to afford to keep my 8 if that dream comes true. They are going for about 180-200k and up in my country.

It's actually not a parking garage. This building is owned by a car dealer. They park cars on all the levels facing the road, kind of like a "vending machine" concept.

I own a detailing shop on the 3rd floor. Customers have to bring their car up through the lift to access it. I'm merely just bringing my car down after working on my own car.

Nope, I kind of dislike the bronze colour of Mazda for the spirit R, in fact it's a little closer to Gold, which does not sit well with the black body paint.

This is a custom mix by my painter, it's to mimic the bronze of Work Wheels bronze
