Hi Sirs! Good tidings to everyone! Been a long time lurker here in the thread while waiting for my unit's release. Now that I have it (just got it the other day, a 1.5 white hatch), maybe its time to greet everyone!

Learning a lot from back reading! And looking forward to talk to the masters!

WelcoM3 to the Mown3rship, mnm sir...Please share us your plans...any you checked from page346?

Haha, please wipe it off your chin, vinrem sir.....they ride aweful...& would look crossoveresque w/o dropping.
There's a reason why Mazda just went 19s for there SEMA Clubsport3 upon the launch a coupla years back. 19s are the max limit to get that aesthetic & drivability balance, IMHO.

I have a question, and I don't know if this is the right forum, anyway, my questions are:
1. How do you maintain my mz3 during winter? I mean, do you change the engine oil if winter is coming? How about the water in the radiator?
2. Usually I go back home to the Philippines during chinese new year, so I need to leave the car for almost a month, what do I need to prepare or what shall I do before I leave the car? TIA

Oil change intervals remain as recommended by Mazda. In the tropics we can use the 30weight synthetic oil instead of your 20.
Coolant mix from the factory isn't just water. It has anti-freeze that stretches both the freezing & boiling thresholds of H2O.
Apart from switching to winter tires, a good thorough wash to remove road salts (prior to storage or post-winter), getting a trickle charger for your batt & gas stations switching from summer to winter blend & back? Nothing you really have to go out your way & do, vinrem sir!

Noted and thanks Sir Travs!!!

AnytiM3, vinrem sir!
Oh, btw, on trickle chargers, I would recommend getting something like what I have...a Deltran Battery Tender. You need not disconnect nor remove batt from the car. Just plug & unplug it's terminal. You can leave it hooked w/o worries when you're away. It'll keep your batt healthy & won't overcharge.
It comes in single, twin, quad bank for up to 4 cars w/ 1 Deltran....
I'm in no way affiliated w/ Deltran....just a satisfied user sharing.

Another urinal break???? Plants need water, too.

Noted sir travajante, I'll check if it's available here.

I'm sure you'll find it there. Deltran's a US brand, but isn't everything made in China?
Oh, I forgot...our plate relocators are homegrown.

Yup, pricier than OVT's though.
Post#4670, page467 here is BBR's dyno chart. Nice linear gains.

Thanks brother Jodan!! No sir here. Just Geo. If you like, bro James can hook you up with lowering your classy white Mz3! It's gonna be just a mild drop so you can still do wanderlusting and road tripping with your Mz3!

Great windmill shot brother!
