2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Received some great news today. Not any ordinary boring Monday haha!



Such a weird timing to release the car mid-month.

BTW, can you guys suggest any additional instructions I should give my SA apart from:

-Never drill holes on the grill
-Keep the seat plastics on

Thanks for your feedback.

Grats!!!! Really glad for you.
The thrill of delivery rendered my OCD inutile to check any....Car was perfect...still is...15mos or so after.

I 100% agree on this. Now palang di na ko makatulog ng maayos kakaisip. I know for sure everyone has been in this situation at one point even with a different car na talagang gusto mo hehe.

True, anything new is bound to excite us...but, stories of many the impatient us made to wait & the ability to retain that lasting thrill..... are not very common.

True.. By the way Sir Travs, if I get the car this week, I would love to bring it to Manaoag to be blessed over the weekend. Would I get flagged down for any violation?

The sales invoice you have is good for 7 working days (e.g. if you get the car Monday, you can show that invoice until Tue of the next week). At least that covers you from driving an unregistered vehicle violation. As for other violations (overspending, not wearing seatbelt, drunk driving, etc.), well di na sagot ng casa yun.

Natawa ako sir sa overspending. I know you meant overspeeding pero overspending is also true. Gotta prevent my eyes into looking to them mods. Hindi muna..until I'm done with Yojin3 (Saying this to myself while looking at the Bosch Europas I'll have installed over the weekend.)

Sir Albee, congrats sa speed mo! Super sarap nyan i-drive malamang! 1.5 nga lang panalo na, pano pa yung sayo!

Don't worry too much about enforcers. Just make an excuse of the "lto delay" thing, if ever you're flagged down. I just came from Manaoag last weekend without bringing with me my OR/CR which was emailed to me last Friday lang.

nice manaoag pa talaga for the car blessing!

actually in the whole controversy of lto's no registration no travel policy reimplementation latter part of last year and this year, never ako ni flag down while driving thru multiple mmda's and recently hpgs in edsa. that's a good full year of using the car without plates. Luckily no incidents, but then again even if they flag me down, i had my registration with me so i'm not violating anything. (yup 1 full year for lto to produce my plates due to dealership's procrastination and stupidity)

In your case, if you get the car this week for sure pasok ka pa sa 7 day period for you to travel to manaoag without problems, as long as you bring all your sales invoices and delivery receipts with you in case check points flag you down. Though technically the 7 day period is for delivery purposes only, in practice its accepted to be used by the owner. Kaya madami dealers they give multiple invoices bearing dates covering you for weeks, some months even upon picking up the car.

To be conservative and anti delihensya, better have your registration papers already within the 7 day period, in case they flag you down, you can show it. Yun naman yun may violation, no registration no travel, not really the plates (specially for vanity plates na matagal nila ma produce)

Don't know the availability of normal plates now, if its readily available, dapat makuha mo din within a week if your dealer does not delay your registration.

Good luck and enjoy your car blessing trip

According to the LTO Memo, only LTO personnel and deputized policemen (in cooperation with LTO personnel) ang pwede lang mag-check ng OR/CR. Kaya diskompiyado ako dun sa pumara sa akin na "pulis" 2 weeks ago.

Thank you sir this is very well noted. Yup Manaoag para break-in na rin and matry yung Zoom-zoom. hehehe

I'm sorry, aLbEe sir, I'm not the best guy to ask. I'm hoping the authorities there are as kind & friendly as those local to me here in Bisdak country.

Patulong mga tech masters!
Balak ko sanang gawin ung ginawa nila sir testa at sir john.. Kaso hesitant ako sa update baka pumalpak.

Details:


Questions:
1. What should I install first? (Base sa nabasa ko sa ibang mazda3 forums, may required ata na version para ma update sa newest firmware)
2. What to download? (Information overload ako sa nakitang procedure dun sa kabilang forum, hindi ko alam kung ano tamang i-download)
3. Please help me? I'm desperate, hehe (may Baguio weekend trip kasi kami ng family, gusto ko sana ma play mga baby videos para sa long journey kasama si baby)

Thanks in advance mga sir!

[travajante]

Resident geniuses, John & Testa, SOS here.

[travajante]

Maintenance free naman saken. Picture nga.

Good for you, John brah...Mine is same as justdiy's... nippon-made regular batt.

False alarm. Erratum posted

[travajante]

Sa alam ko v33 is only required for v29 below. Yung v31 ko pwede na daw straight to v56 pero I took the safe route and did a two-step.

Two files ang kelangan mo: the smaller "cmu150_ADR_56.00.100A_failsafe.up" and the huge "cmu150_ADR_56.00.100A_reinstall.up". Installation took around 45 mins. Make sure to press the brake every 15 mins para di mag-sleep ang oto.

The first page of the infotainment thread has most of the info you need

All this tech talk is making this dinosaur lose you, guys....haha.
.....But....Salute yah both!!!!👍

[go-to-guy]

Another dinosaur here, lol! Never na upgrade ang infotainment ko. What are the updates on the new versions?

[agent_007]

Hi fellow mown3rs,

I was going over a steel ramp yesterday when its other side lifted and hit my underbody. It tore a hole 6 inches in diameter on the plastic cover near the left rear wheel. Is this something that needs to be replaced immediately? How would it affect my ride? Thanks!
