2014 Mazda 3

[vinrem]

Yup mukhang normal lang nga sir vinrem. Di lang ko sanay kasi pag bukas pinto at aalis na may tumutunog na parang ayaw ako paalisin, na baka may nakalimutan akong i off hehe.

Currently at 800+ odo, overall sobrang satisfied ako sa ride natin yung ride comfort is not a big deal naman comfortable naman mga passengers ko.😊 Cguro sa maseselan lang talaga nakakapansin na medyo matagtag ang mz3. Basta dahan dahan lang sa lubak hehe.

Medyo matagtag nga ride ng MZ3 compare sa ibang cars that I rode sa area ko, kaya dahan - dahan din akong mag drive lalo na sa speed humps.

Guys i have noticed that in the rear wheels half lang may plastic protection unlike sa front ok lang ba ito or may nabibili naman na mud guard?

Reason why newer cars switched to felt-type rear wheel liners is for sound deadening. You don't & shouldn't have to wash them as frequently as plastic 1s. They hide grime & dirt well anyway.

The front also has that but with additional plastic guards im wondering parang tinipid yung likod? Hahaha

Or bihira naman magka putik yang part na yan kaya hindi na nila nilagyan ng additional plastic guards?

Not just Mazda, the Euros initiated this around mid 2k-ish. When I first saw the change, I just shook my head. I, too, love the old plastic wells.

Ok, let's jumpstart 2016.....
Cliche: What are your New Year's resolutions?
Me? Got 1 done earlier today.....
The DIY:
1. Removed the grille Mblem. How? You push out the side clips 1st thru the notches behind the grille. After sides, the top, then pull the bottom...no tools needed.

How the grille looks w/o the M...

2. Here's the why?

3. Followed this DIY video:
https://youtu.be/lUPcm3ALQik
4. After 3 shadow coats & 3 clears w/ 10-20mins between....the chrome turned shadow hyperblack....2 shadows would've been perfect but I had to be the sacrificial guinea for those who'd want this....haha

5. The pre & post....

I know...1 shadow coat too dark...but he has gotta stay true to his BlackMouth name... Some will love, some will hate....your thoughts, just the same?
For those who dig the blackout, this hyperback theme will be perfect for the chrome grille trim & beltline. Never been a fan of Plastidip. Hehe....

Now, quit slackin' & share your resolutions here. Hehe
A modful 2016, y'all!!!!

Nope. You're not even advised to maintain constant speed & rpm during break-in.....It's there for you to fully enjoy, chiezee sir.

Pag nag ddrive ba kayo medyo kita yung hood nyo or mas prefer nyo ang d kita? Sinubukan ko kasi kanina adjust seat height medyo mas maganda visibility pag mataas, yun nga lang halos tatama na ulo ko sa roof ng car 😂

The most corrected bad habit when i joined the late kookie ramirez' racing clinics, proper driving position [emoji6] for seat height just keep a fist length in between headliner and the top of your head, that should be enough to see the front and protects you from hitting the roof in certain situations.
