2014 Mazda 3

Ty boss! New Rota design, Hashtags, wrapped in GT SX2 235/40

Many thanks too to boss Geo for steering me in the right direction! LC818's are still on the radar

What's the offset on those, brah? Let's gather all the data for sharing.

ThEse are +44, figured the -1 from the ideal +45 wouldn't matter (doesn't seem to).

Out of curiosity, would a +46 make a diff? Was tempted to get another design, but they're +51, but seller was giving a great price...was thinking of just putting in 5mm spacers...but am a little worried about safety..

Will post more pics showing how they fit when I can.

Yeah, from my current setup, our car's max offset can take upto +42 without any rub (on 8.5 width max), originally +45 offset with 3mm hubcentric spacers. +51 is also good, with 5mm spacers. You can put hubcentric spacers if you're concerned with safety. From what i've learned, every mm counts in the world of stance.

Great start doc! You might want to consider Rota PWR-F, not flashy but goes well with Kodo design. Unless you don't want to go the hobo route. Rays ze40 or Gram Lights 57fxx looks good with Mz3.

Could you post pics of these you mentionrd, kind sir?
I've just been browsing olx and have found these to my liking.

Watch those offsets, doc. Rotas over reps, if I were to choose.
Here are Geo's choices:

Volk ZE40...Warning:This has left many permanently dumbfounded & numb.Haha!

[Doctsakititoy]

Those are nice! Will check out rotas as well. Thanks for pics!

Any news on when Mazda Philippines will release the Philippine map for their GPS? Its been almost 2 years since the new Mazda 3 was released, until now, wala pa din maps, sayang naman since GPS capable na headunit 😡

May open letter na nilabas ang Mazda Philippines last year stating they never promised GPS capability in their infotainment system. So nganga na lang tayo.

[balongbalong]

I actually offer the same service. If you want we can coat a portion of your car to see? Hehehe it's really hard when it cures.. 5 microns is a guesstimate. Maybe it can go to 20microns? Not sure cause I don't have paint thickness gauge yet.

Hindi ba dapat baliktad? Sa demo car mo natin i test? Ikaw yun nagbebenta e Haha. Parang wala ka tuloy bilib sa product mo if ang demo car e yun sa customer pa haha

Anyway where's your shop and what brand do you carry?

Problem is if you look at their old brochures, navigation sd card is advertised as sold separately or optional.

And i remember navigation was part of my sales agent's sales pitch, "availability of the sd card to follow when berjaya releases it"

But yes nganga nalang yun mga umaasa sa navigation haha

They shouldn't have advertised it to begin with, nag mukha sila manloloko.

Anyone in the know behind the creation of "Mazda3 Skyactiv society"? Disgruntled "Mazda3 Skyactiv Club Ph" ex-members? Any juicy news regarding this factionalism? :what:

How many mazda 3 clubs are out there? And who's behind them? Does anybody know if mazda has a recognized club governing body?

Hehe my experience with another car club of a different make years ago... Ginagawang network/business yun club, pataasan ng ihi, sobrang advertised/biased sa isang dealer, members have hidden agendas (may ari pala ng parts supply, gusto pala magbukas ng shop for that make, etc), nagaaway pa sa etiquette and conduct when posting sa forums, and members questioning club funds proceeds. The list goes on.

Far from what a car club should be, which should be just people having fun while sharing their common passion.

Well said bro. I agree with you 100%

AFAIK, Mazda 3 SkyActiv Club PH is the first club specifically created for SkyActiv 3. There's the ClubMazda but I think it's not car model specific. In terms of the latter question, I think the officers are the best people to comment with your query. But one thing for sure, Berjaya is very supportive with our club.

I was invited to join the other club but there's really no point of me joining another one. I am not that active with regular or random meetups and EBs anyway. Already happy in sharing common passion with fellow Mown3rs.

Will do try this on my old car. Haven't had an extreme test for any of the products we carry as I believe they are there to mantain and prevent rather to really serve as true glove-like protection like clear bras.. But they are really hard, as Once I had to polish cured high-spot which couldn't be removed by hand-polishing. Apologies if I sounded offensive bro, not meant like that.

I use Optimum and CQuartz for my paint coatings. I do work on my little garage. Still looking for a nice and small location to put up a shop. Still wishing...

Pwede demo car ung akin... Basta 50% off yung services. Haha. Seriously though, will try your 3-step detailing bro. Hobo budget lang ako at di ko kaya yung scratch-free services. Hehe.

This isn't Berjaya's parking....

Enjoy the M3et & have a safe Run, Mown3rs!!!

The almost complete version. It literally looked like an m3 warehouse haha

OCD + Mown3r I know + GreatvGuy + Hands On, Personalized Service + Good Products. Exactly what I look for in detailers....these outweigh shop size in my book.👍
BlackMouth needs you, justdiy brah.
