2014 Mazda 3

I recently had my 1.5 OVT'd after almost 2years on stock. Can i feel the difference? YES. HP gain? I dont know. Currently on 2nd tune and car behaves differently... from stock AND the 1st tune. And thats coming from a person who does not know his way around cars. The reason why I had it tuned was to make the car more fun to drive and not to race it(its a 1.5L!

)

It doesn't matter if you have a 1.5 L engine or smaller if you want to race your car. I've seen Mazda 2, Honda Brio, and Mitsubishi Mirage join Touge Battle.

i jope that oil filter is really angled that way. but i doubt it. at least you didnt run dry. hope that pan is cheap. It seems like a aluminum or is it a resin?

that horizontal bar... is it welded onto the frame or bolted on?

Ran over a rock while on the highway. I thought it was small enough to pass over it, but the bumper got it and dragged it all the way down and under. The oil pan was deformed but thankfully no leaks.

The filter looks fine. The pan is metal. Hope it's mostly just the cover.

I think its bolted on. Casa says the oil pan and the beam will be replaced. Thankfully the car is still insured.

Next time you see rock, roll away. It's best listened to, not run over.[emoji14][emoji111]
