Question:

Will the 2.0r headlamp fit as a direct replacement to the 1.5?

I saw some surplus in amazon and looks a good fit but not sure whether it's plug n play to my hobo 1.5

Tnx

I'm presuming they should if they come complete...except for the DRL function.

Mounting wise it will fit. But wiring harness will likely be different so its not a plug n play affair.

How much nakita mo bro? Plug and play yan sa fit. Sa wirings sisiw lang yan sa mga electrical shops if you're willing to void yojin3 sa electronics.

Maganda kung complete wiring harness, stalk switch and light sensor.

Even w/o the DRL & Auto-level features, this would be a worthy conversion. Aftermarket kits just don't cut it. The lenses used for Halogen and HID are different and disperse light in a different pattern. That's the core issue.

To go brand new OE HID conversion basing on US online prices, it would look something like this....
-HID Control box: 2x$270
-Headlamp w/ auto-leveling: 2x $1k
-HID igniter: 2x$110
-HID bulb: 2x$175 (Crazy!!!!..cheaper on amazon, surely)
Total? Yikes!!!! At least $3000 in major parts, add $50+ or so in gaskets and bolts.😱

OE HID conversion= NO HOBO....sticking w/ OE halogens here.....unless by some miracle, a complete OE kit can be had for cheap!!!

Been checking also here the LED headlamp like the 2.0, very expensive, the LED tail lamp is also expensive, it cost around 30k-40k pesos for the tail lamp alone

This is their single bank model I'm using. My other cars are also hooked w/ Deltran cables, which you can buy separately, for easy plug&play.

They also have bigger, multi-bank units for tending multiple cars.
Contact fld*mozcom.com if you wanna get 1 in the Philippines.

Thanks bro, I'll check it out.

Saw this in an online shop, nice mod if only my mz3 has a paddle shifter hehehhehe

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!

Considering changing the mags and was wondering how much it sells for.

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...
