2014 Mazda 3

[testament11]

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.

Uy, congrats!

Additional thing to consider ay yun mileage. Dapat less than 30kms lang tinakbo niyan. Sa akin nung nakuha ko ay may 13kms nang naka-log. Yun seat plastics, ok lang maging intact pag nakuha mo. Alisin mo nalang pag naiuwi mo na. Dapat malinis ang car, inside out. Expect some watermarks or very minimal scratches dahil sa pagkakastore ng car sa pier. Yun sa grill part naman, di naman yan drilled. Ididikit lang yun temporary plate mo doon. Ah, I still remember the day I got my car from Mazda Pasig. Ngingiting aso ka pagkalabas mo ng casa at kulang nalang ay sumigaw ka ng malakas na yeabah!!

Congrats! Make sure your kuroi aero kit is installed properly, and no visible detachments from its double taped areas, specially at the back and side of the front chin.

I make it a habbit to make sure engine is cold when i pick up a new car, and that i'm the one to start it. Did it this way after I had this terrible experience that ecu was defective and my brand new car was shutting down during cold starts. Waited months for parts and was start of some incredible down time, when i could have refused to accept unit. You never know when its a lemon. Not my mazda 3 btw.

Thanks. I'll be sure to do this.

Congrats! I requested for them not to put any stickers of the casa at the back para malinis tingnan. Tsaka no white sticker at the rear passenger window too.
I think I read the paint on the rims of the Speed come off easily (maybe the earlier releases, IIRC) so have it checked also.

Thanks. I will add this on my list. Clean look din gusto ko kahit dati pa.

I had to pay for my LTO reg. and TPL.:mad: never got a mug and free gas. 1st own car e. Kaya I didn't know what I could've gotten. But I remember I was told that he would give me an umbrella but never did. Di ko na rin finollow up. The rest are standard and I don't understand bakit ang dating sa kanila is they're giving them as freebies. Para bang we should be thankful pa. :sly::confused:

Ok mukhang medyo mabait na sila ngayon hindi tulad nung unang labas ni M3 hehehe, try ko pa ilakad kung may fleet discount akong makuha hehehe

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.

[bhybhoy]

Thanks guys! Also, credits to the one who created the app, who is a member of mazda3revolution. Doon ko siya nakita and nasabi ko na this is one app na it should be installed. Ngayon nakikiusap ang gf ko na i-convert ang mga Koreanovela niya para panoorin habang nabiyahe :hammer:

Sir Testa,
Saw this link Lukasz Skalski | Homepage
For mazda media player
Is this compatible in our mazda3?
Sorry i dont have much knowledge in technology

Yup, compatible ito sa atin. Ito yung isang video player na pwede sa Infotainment, pero through the use of an Android app

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?

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.

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.

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.

Yup, compatible ito sa atin. Ito yung isang video player na pwede sa Infotainment, pero through the use of an Android app

Thanks sir,

Guys meron na ba sa inyo nagdagdag ng tubig sa baterry?
Anong klase po(ordinary distilled water?) and gaano karami?

Thanks po

[Yatta]

^Di ba maintenance-free (MF) ang battery mo?

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.)
