Hobos, See What I See????
2.0 M3 Sky Engine Bay

1.5 M3 Sky Engine Bay

1.5 North Am Yaris/Scion iA Engine Bay


K&N, JBR, aFe, AEM, Injen left us in the cold w/o SRI, CAI & drop-in options for about 2years now. The news of M2's aborted NA entry did not help our cause....we were the minority that dint matter....
Now, finally, there is hope! North American Toyotas w/ 1.5 Sky have our exact intake boxes!
I have knocked on K&N to look into churning us options now that the NA market will see 1.5s....
Fellow Hobos, please gather, pray & knock on that K&N door til it opens!!!!
Please fill up the k&n product request here w/
2015 Mazda3
2016 Mazda2
2016 Scion iA

Thanks!!!!🙏

For the Mz3 owner who changed to 19" Mz6 mags may I ask how much you got it? I'm taking delivery of a Mz6 wagon and considering changing the mags and was wondering how much it sells for. Thanks in advance

Please PM Geo_S, rafmac sir!

Prices of these are driven not by OE vendor value but by degree of market want & need, sir.....likely way off dealership prices. Your stock rims will fit nicely into M3s as proven by our brothah, Geo_S.
Let me know how much you want for them, sir. We could probably help you find those a good home.
And, outta curiosity.....care to share your new direction, rafmac sir?

The wagon is slated to arrive 2nd or 3rd week of October. No rims decided yet but wanted either gun metal or bronze as it looks better with the soul red color

Whats the ideal tire size for the Mz3 running on 19". Another option formme is to just transfer these to my wife' Mz3 hatch, but still wary of going 19" will result to poor rode quality

[vinrem]

Are strut bars easy to install? Do I need special equipments or any required adjustments for the installation or is it like plug and play?

[Yatta]

^yup. just the appropriately sized socket wrench. as long as you don't have camber plates installed no adjustments needed.

Goin' lower profile will make you feel more of the road details....but....
No words can explain what 225/40/19s + HTechs do....

That MAGIC!!!!

[travajante]

Is white the most popular M3 color? Seems to be the most RELOCATED & happily at that...

Hi sir travs, I want to replicate that shiny black grill of 2.0. What's the best way to do it? Use 3m vinyl? Easiest for me would be to top it off with bosny clear coat. Hehehe

Too many angles & deep bends to wrap cleanly, justdiy sir.....I doubt clear would cut it, but this will be a 1st I'd recommend plastidip w/ glossifier....make it reversible. Peeling of black on black isn't as worrisome as black dip over chrome or light colors......Or, have it professionally done.

Most camber plates can be adjusted independently w/o having the strutbar baseplate obstruct any, but slight shifts upon install can throw angles off though.......

What do you mean by slight shift when installing? Installation of the strut bar? Sorry, I'm new at this, I'm shopping for a strut bar here, actually, I'm shopping for a strut bar, coil overs and 18' rims

Don't worry about it, vinrem sir. Stock suspension has no camber adjustments. Just bolt your bar straight on.

That's great master Travs, I'll order the strut bar first and I'll install it myself, my eyes are set on a Cusco strut bar.

BTW, which do you prefer, eibach or tein coil overs? Thanks again for the guidance.

Ask ko Lang sirs if any of you have tried these wax. Which is the best?

I'm using Megs Ultimate Wax bro. Pag nagpapawax ako sa suki kong carwash/detailing shop yun ang pinapagamit ko. Once a month ang waxing, effective naman at maganda beading. Follow up ng mothers quick detailer once a week. Di ko pa natry collinite pero plan ko rin subukan pag nagpawax ako sa ortigas depot.
