Please don't tell him to run at 220 kph! It's illegal. Otherwise, I'll call the police.

Out of idle curiosity, what is the maximum speed registered on the Mazda 3 speedometer?

"Idle"

260kph on the 1.5. Digital speedo ang 2.0 IIRC so sky's the limit?

My Vmax was 160kph on the stretch of CAVITEX between Bacoor tollgate and the guard tower on the causeway. Had to back off because my wheels started vibrating and the nose started to feel light. I miss the burnt rubber smell coming from somewhere behind the dash during birit runs like those.

Look who’s talking. Call the police on yourself. Hehehehe

Even though the speedometer may indicate a certain speed, there is no indication that a car will reach that speed. Even more powerful cars are electronically limited up to 250kmh or 155mph.

I guess the Mazda3 2.0L can break 200kmh if given a spirited run but it may only top out at around 220-230 kmh.

May naka negotiate ako 2nd hand Mazda 3 for my son sana before lockdown, I was planning to go to Manila na sana to check the unit but hindi na tuloy bcoz of lockdown nga, hopefully after ng lockdown ay available pa yung unit.

Will try gaspeed paint shop at Las Pinas for my mazda soul red for paint retouch on the bumper I had our toyota altis painted by them using the original paint code.. i find their job nice as OEM paint.

Checked underneath the car for my planned DIY oil change. Oil filter wrench 902 size fits.. but bad news on the drain plug which uses an allen wrench.. i think the mechanics at mazda alabang had a lousy job.. the drain plug shows tool slippage marks that can make the hole rounded in due time.. this is one reason i dont trust casa workmanship..

mechanic must be using these chinese allen keys... they're probably rounded already. I use hex-plus on the systems i work with.

Maybe will just change to standard 17mm drain plug.. based on my research it uses M14x1.5 size bolt. Hayyzz..
