sorry to budge in, but yes you are correct, white easily gets dirty especially in our dusty PH condition plus rains. Wash often. black or darker colored ones likewise easily gets dirty too, and it shows more light scratches and swirls marks (from washing/drying your car) more than lighter colored cars, making them less shiny, so its harder to maintain, more detailing needed. Kalaban mo also sa white are stains, especially tree saps, leave it under the sun too long and it will become embedded in the paint. mas hindi halata stains sa dark colors. when it comes to colors, pick what you really like, you can't return it if you have second thoughts about the color and is always at the back of your mind you really liked the other color, etc.

for warranty/yoijin3 purposes, read your warranty/yoijin3 booklet for the terms and conditions. if its indicated there na mods will void them then why risk it? honestly back up cameras to me are pretty useless for such a small car, especially if you have the sensors already, hindi naman malaking suv or closed van yun mazda3. if you really cant live without one, then buy the original mazda back up camera abroad and have them install it, so they won't have any problems with it since its orig mazda accessory. take note with generic back up cameras, depends what brand you get from china, some are poor quality, some are ok.

is lamson selling the orig mazda back up camera? or perhaps an oem branded for mazda back up camera? or simply a generic camera?

of course mazda distributor/dealer network will protect themselves, and an easy way out for them is to blame our mods to our cars in case certain problems arise. but sometimes can't blame them too, palpak din talaga gawa sa labas kuminsan, especially in car audio, banawe shops are known to not even solder and shrink wrap wires when they splice and reconnect them

Nothing to apologize for. I appreciate every feedback I get ftom this discussion to help me decide din carefully since I am a newbie. Thanks sir!

And I hear you. You gave good points from what you have said. I will think all about this carefully.

One thing though with the backup cam, it's just that when I was practicing my driving, it was in a Honda City with a backup camera installed. Nakasanayan ko lang siguro and it's a bummer na hindi siya standard across Mazda 3 variants, so naisip ko lang na magpa-install as most of the guys here also did. I haven't tried driving with just the reverse parking sensors. Might as well check na lang din muna kung kaya ko naman without the cam kapag narelease yung unit ko by December. Hehehe

sir naayos na ata namin yung issue na yan with our current batch of cameras. dati kasi may converter pa kaming inaattach sa camera, ngayon built in na sa camera mismo yung converter. regardless, kung nasanay na rin kayo na walang camera tinitignan it's all good, hehe. with regards dun sa smell it's possible na di naka-on yung air circulation mode dun sa air vents dahil pag nagdisconnect ng battery from the terminal for a period of time nagrereset yung settings. it's just a possibility though, not sure kung yung mode na yun kasama sa settings na narereset.

Dear soul red Mown3r...do you happen to be here? Care to share the source of that intake?
Or can anyone clean up the pixels on the plate? Haha.

If you bring this to the casa for maintenance, do they immediately tell you that your Yojin3 is voided?

I think they only allow Skyactive Mazda 3's in. And you have to pay a membership fee of P1,000.

The Hatch speaks..... The pack's chosen Ring Pacer. The One who navigates thru every twist, hairpin, dip, slope & pothole.... by memory more than vision. His reflexes, lightning quick. His caffeine fix, speed....
He is our KING....
True sacred words have been spoken! These TEINs...a must have.

The M3 will get a1.5 litre SkyActiv-D diesel engine in the UK, it was announced recently.
Power output for the 1.5 litre SkyActiv-D diesel engine is rated at 105 PS at 4,000 rpm and 270 Nm from 1,600-2,500 rpm. The engine features a compression ratio of 14.8:1, exhaust gas recirculation and Mazda’s i-stop idle-stop system.
The engine is available for both the hatchback and Sedan. When mated to a six-speed SkyActiv-MT gearbox, the engine emits just 99 g/km, and is capable of returning a combined fuel economy of 31.58 km/l. Only the hatchback version of the 3 gets the option of a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic gearbox.
When will PH get Euro5 diesel????

Saw a heavily modded Mz3 (springs, rims, unichip, brakes and K&N pod filter) being serviced at Mazda Noth EDSa when they released our Mz2. Sabi nung SA wala na daw warranty at free PMS.

For example i will upgrade my 16 oem rims to 18 oem rims, will it void my warranty?

Mine initially upgraded the 16s to oem 18s. Had 2 PMS and SA saw the 18s (techs even checked tread wear), then saw the oem 19s but was never told that warranty's already voided.

Just in case you want to change to oem 18s, i know a friend selling his oem 18s. ☺
