2014 Mazda 3

[justdiy]

Good Morning to M3 owners! Finally, nakapag-backread din from page 700, haha.

I'm interested sa scratch-resistant na service na offer ni justdyi. Pwede ba ako humingi ng details regarding the service like location and pricing? Thanks

Also, ask na rin ako sa inyo ng advise if okay na magpa-wax sa 2 months old na M3 ko

A little concern lang din abot my fuel consumption. Ang mileage ko is around 2300Km na, pero still parang hindi pa ganun ka ganda ung FC ko. Around 18L/100km according to my data. Moderate traffic nga lang iyon eh plus hindi naman ako super aggresive na driver (minsan lang hehe). Meron kaya akong maling nagagawa.

Saka paanu ba na rereset yung Trip A and Trip B?

Thanks mga Bros

Hi! Will pm you regarding the coating.

Regarding wax-yes po okay na okay! Wax it now! :D

Regarding fuel consumption- I will echo what most owners here will say. Just ENJOY THE DRIVE! We're blessed with an awesome car. Enjoy every moment behind the wheel. Don't worry about fuel consumption yet. Your car needs some time to fully break-in because the components are new and the seals are not yet in their final form yet. Eventually, you'll see that this car is very fuel efficient however you drive it. I once drove constantly at 80kph and got amazing fc results. You can drive up to Tanayburgring and take the curves aggresively and still get an amazing FC! Ask hot hatch! Haha!

Just to add to bro detailing expert just diy - from long experience with other cars - best to get a layer of nice, protective wax (at least) asap, even on brand new cars. You never know how the casa detailer did or didn't do his job. While others believe in doing nothing at all, cleaning with just water and hands - i believe in putting layer after layer of protective wax, sealants, coats, etc.

Oh and re: resetting the trip meter, just hold down the button you use to switch between trip a and b.

True! Always nice to know there's a layer of wax on your car for that peace of mind! And the shine and gloss after waxing is nice too!

My first post after figuring out what my password was and knowing how to use tapatalk! Read from start to page 300plus then bought our M3 last feb 2015... Then backread again upto current page! So happy to finally reply haha

Now my question mga sirs... When gasoline station attendants ask you to turn off your engine, do you park it or put in to neutral lang? Kasi when I put it into neutral and turn it on again， lumalabas yung engine light.. Is this normal? Thanks po

IIRC you can't turn the car totally off when in N. I put it in P to be sure.

Tasteful kits, like the OE or Clifford's OE reps, are nice aesthetic enhancements to an already appealing car....but, some dread the drilling & the rust risk.
Here are new harmless options....Chinese stick-ons!!!! Personally, I can't say they're nice though.....

Quick question sirs, where can I get these in Manila?

• Racing Beat Axleback - I really want this!
• Best place for waxing/coating

My week old Speed, he needed washing after a 300km road trip!
