2014 Mazda 3

[vinrem]

Vinrem, sir, forgive my ignorance. May I-stop and I-eloop din ang 1.5 variant here in the ph?

Attachment 28597

Got this figure while cruising down from Tagaytay this morning. 70-75 kph with just tapping the accelerator.

Sir, as sir Travs had mentioned, there is no i-stop for 1.5 variant in ph, but in China made mz3 ay meron but i-stop lang, walang i-loop, yung i-loop and i-stop is only available for the totl mz3.

[vinrem]

Guys, what kind of strut bar do you recommend for our mz3?

I see. Thanks vinrem and travs!

Well as what Han said, 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing [emoji6]

Ultra Racing has not only strutbars but frame stiffening braces. Affordable & functional.
Corksport has 1, too.
Different costs, looks, same function.

Thanks Sir Travs, I'll check if they're available here.

Just reserved a unit, 2-3weeks waiting time. 1.5 sedan titanium flash mica. Super excited na ako. For the guys who installed ng lip kit at ducktail spoilers will it void warranty? No mods for three years e. I want upgrade to aftermaker or oem 18" rims also ,19in hopefully like sir travs hehe ,. So im planning na after early pms na iupgrade. so if pms time again just swap the wheels right?

Congrats sir in advance!

There's nothing to void if you'll install lip kit and ducktail spoiler. These mods are mostly aesthetics though they slightly change your car's aerodynamics.

For the aftermarket rims/OE+ mod, that am not sure of. When I had my 1k or 1st month PMS, didn't bother to swap the OE18s with the OE16s. When I also had my 6th month or 10k PMS, didn't swap the OE19s. I was not told or warned by my SA that theyd void the warranty, but thought if I asked him, he probably wouldve said warranty's already voided for the car's suspension (SAs usual spiel is any mod change will void warranty).

Grats, Mark sir. Listen to the wisdom of the GeoManc3r....In dealing w/ dealerships & warranties, always remember...their ignorance is your bliss.
And, like in basketball, technical fouls are given at their dicretion.
WelcoM3 to the Mown3rship!

Congrats Sir, you won't regret it.

Legally and technically speaking any mod on a section of the car should not impact the warranty on any other section. E.g. a mod on the body should not void the warranty on the engine, or a mod in the electrics should not void the warranty on the suspension. But this being the Philippines, its really at the discretion of the dealer/company.

Reserved na rin ako 1.5 HB aluminum metallic almost 2 weeks nko nag hihintay ... the agony of waiting is killing me...

oo nga pla share ko lang yung kasamahan ko kasi may kasabay siya sa KIA casa na nagpalit ng rims tapos while driving bigla daw lumabas ang airbag kaya ayun void ang warranty. ang explanation daw may sensor sa ilalim daw yun ang dahilan pagpalit ng rims (di nya rin ma conclude kung yun nga tlga ang dahilan,di ko rin ma gets yung sensor explanation). although iba ang design ng kia sa mazda i-cnoconsider ko rin advice sakin ng friend ko na wag daw magpapalit ng rims. plano ko pa naman mag palit ng 18's or 19's pag dumating na yung unit. pero decided pa rin ako palitan ang stock rims 70-30 =)

Thanks, Joseph sir! That's a first!!!!!!:D....Are you saying wheel whores must never buy Kia? That dealership just did its own brand a huge disservice!....but, if it were meant to be an anecdote, it's working. Haha
Grats for making the best decision in your life. To numb the agony of waiting, share us what mods you've checked from page 346....and if you're relocating your front plate, please tell your SA not to drill you holes on that grille.

[justdiy]

Do they drill holes for the temporary plate before you leave CASA?

Nope. The conduction number plate is only stuck via double-sided tape. When they release the plates, thats when they punch the holes.

Keep your distance from the car in front of you during slow traffic. Just enough space to block another car from entering your lane. You will improve your fc.

StockEngine is correct, also, when you see the stoplight ahead already turned red, go easy on the accelerator
