Pag naglagay pa niyan bababa lalo ground clearance ng m3, e medyo mababa na ata as is yung mazda3 speed eh. Haha.

[kimbon]

^ oops kala ko same ground clearance lang ang Mz3 speed vs 2.0R. onga may tama ka dyan. LOL

Oo, dami na gasgas pag sinilip mo. May dents na rin nga dahil may isang parking stopper akong di na-estimate. Eh madalas pa naman Pajero dala ko kaya nag-aadjust pa ko. Most of the time naman talaga, pa-atras ako mag-park. Talagang di ko lang talaga akalain magkakaganun nung time na yun.

I see. So I think I have to live with it na. I'm also used to driving Montero kaya nahihirapan ako mag adjust din. I'm also inclined to put 3M Paint Protection sa skirts para maka iwas sa small scratches sa mga debris. Parang Xpel pero di kasi ako makahanap ng cut out that would fit sa skirt kaya baka magiging DIY ito.

Di ko alam sir e. 1.5 ang madalas nakikita ko sa area namin. San ba nabibili yan sir? Japan ba? or my local provider dito sa pinas?

Sa case namin after nareplace yung bumper namin due to an accident naging maingat na kami sa sides namin dahil doon unang nagkagasgas unit namin dahil makitid na eskinita and di ko matancha yung sides nung harap dahil sa hood. Ginagawa namin may binili kami na parang transparent film na medyo makapal na dinidikit, same as the one being sold right now for full body wrap except transparent siya. Everytime sumayad nasisira lang yung film and we remove it and just stick another one. Haha

[macsd]

Same lang with 2.0R yun Speed except for interior, sound system, and body kit. Medyo takaw sayad nga lang so iwas lang sa mga matataas na parking area/ramp at mga parking stopper.

I-eloop and I-stop, effective naman. Yielding 10-11km/L ako ngayon on 70% city and 30% highway driving.

I was thinking about these skirts sa speed kaya i'm more inclined sa R model which is 100K less, wala din dvd(who cares) & hindi Bose speakers. Now my question is, how good is the sound system for non-Bose models?

I just saw it on the net but not sure though if locally avail. You may check at mazda dealer etc..

Yung nga din naisip ko. Saan nyo ba nabili yung plastic sir? Is it the 3M Paint Protector?

[spencersy]

just wondering if someone has an idea if we can play videos/movie on our infotainment? how about bybass so we can watch it while driving? and lastly hope we can install a digital tv tuner receiver so we can watch local tv channels thanks!

i have already asked regarding the tv tuner pero unfortunately di raw pwede kasi walang A/V input yung head unit.

Not sure if you can get this locally. Sa taiwan ko kinukuha akin eh. Tawag dito rhino skin

RE: Movies
Alam ko may post si Louie nito doon sa Skyactiv group sa FB. Yun nga lang, hassle pa rin daw.

RE: DTV
Sadly, di pwede. Pero ewan ko lang sa Speed variant. Nung ni-browse ko kasi yun sa akin, may nakalagay na "no installed DTV etc etc..."

One time thing lang na kinalikot yun, and once magconfigure para magplay ng movies kelangan patapusin buong video bago gumana ule lahat ng controls.

Is it a cut out for M3 specifically or nag DIY din kayo sa pag fit nito?

Has anyone replaced their horns in their M3? Parang di talaga ako nirerespeto sa potpot ko (at nakakapanhinayang ang tunog). My SA said the warranty will be voided if I replace the horn. But another fellow M3 user said as long as I keep the original horn it's fine. Paano ba ang arrangement sa inyo? Do you put back the original horns when servicing so the dealer won't find out that you replaced your horns and get your warranty voided? The challenge is we get periodic maintenance, do you put back the original horns prior to servicing? Parang hassle yata and I saw in youtube how hard it is to replace the horns in M3. Maraming salamat.

Madami na nagpalit ng busina ng M3 dito. Bale totoo naman mavo-void ang warranty NG BUSINA lang. Pero, once daw na may mag-loko na ang cause eh yun pagpalit mo ng busina eh hindi daw yun sakop ng warranty. Ngayon, kung magpapalit ka ng busina, as is na yan at di mo na kelangan ibalik pa sa lumang busina during maintenance. Ako, tinago ko nalang yun OEM na busina sa bodega namin.

Regarding sa pag-install ng busina, at first oo mahirap dahil baklas bumper. Pero after ko mabaklas ang bumper dahil kelangan ko ilagay yun plates, eh madali na para sa akin magtanggal. Importante lang eh wag kang malilito sa screw/clip assignment dahil madami-daming screws at clips ang kelangan tanggalin

Malakas din naman stock busina natin. Binusinahan kasi ako ng kapitbahay naming may 3 din habang nakatambay ako sa labas ng bahay Di lang sya matinis dahil single note lang.

No plans of changing mine as I try to avoid situations where kelangan babaran ang busina. Mahirap na

[xxxjanxxx2]

^ yun din ang disadvantage.

For anyone who is adventurous and want to try changing their horns I found this very detailed page on how to remove the bumper and horns on your Mazda 3 from certified Mazda tech. If I push through with this project I might put some photos my self.
