2014 Mazda 3

Thanks, but the eraser actually worked. 😀

Great. Stickers might not take solvents well. Sheen might change on the applied spot.

Having my 40kms PMS now and a little disappointed with Mazda. Based on the Periodic Maintenance Schedule checklist they gave me when I acquired the unit, it states that the spark plugs will be replaced. Now they say it won't and they have updated the list. It's just misleading. No big deal since nakaka 5kms nga lang ako sa car e. Pero bad business practice lang. They could of atleast informed the customers with the "old checklist" sa previous PMS visits. The reason was iridium daw ang gamit na sparkplugs ng Mazda3 Skyactiv and not the cheap kind. They said it would last till 100kms. Whether that's true or not, it just gave me abit of a bad experience kahit pa sabihin na buti nga may Yojin3.

sir go-to-guy,

you may want to message Berjaya and confirm with them if sparkplugs should be replaced at 40k for skyactiv Mazda 3 under Yojin 3
also, check your manual if for replacement yung spark plugs at 40k

it doesn't matter if iridium is good for 100k and you've only done 1, if the manual says 'R', they will replace that under yojin3

marami akong bad experiences jan sa Alabang, the last one was hindi nila pinalitan yung engine air filter ko
yung 50k and 60k ko, sa Pasig na ako nagpagawa kahit from Laguna pa ako

Good idea. Remember, Metro Manila road and driving conditions are classified as "hard". With stop and go traffic at best and standstill at worst, even if the odometer is not moving a millimeter, the engine itself is running. I never really rely on the odometer for my PMS. Mas rely ako sa time or months usage. Parang yung sa aircraft maintenance schedules, they measure it in "operational hours".

Got hold of some raw OVT dyno charts/numbers from a stock 2.0 Skyactiv Sedan M3 on XCS.....
Crazy usable & practical low to midend power & torque bump!!!!!

That's a bump of 26ft# from the get go & 15ish whp from low to midend. Wow!!!!!!
Orange Virus Tune is by far the best bang4buck mod Skyactivs can have. No hardware. No CELs. Simple. Reversible.

Hello everyone. My first posts:D

I have a question... Since HTechs are popular around this forum (I just got them, but haven't installed them yet)... Has anyone installed them with aftermarket shocks/struts? I bought Bilstein B8... but still yet to install them... I'm a little hesitant at the moment:/


Anyone have have any experience with struts/shocks and HTechs?

*Elegend3 sir, you're here!!!! Nice of you to drop by!!!! Welcome to tsikot!

Yes, HTechs are popular here & about as close to stock spring rates. Think Prokits. The 1st documented HTech M3 sighting on M3R might be from a member here. Pretty much everyone on them are running stock dampers. They ride fine. So far, the stock dampers have held up. Running B8s, FSDs or Yellows would should the combo cost up to Tein FlexZ level. D2 from Taiwan would even be a fraction cheaper....so those w/ the budget go for the coilover set up.
Just remember to cut the bumpstops...front & rear, if possible. I know Eibach only requires the fronts to be shortened.
If you're DIYin', I'd suggest putting em on before the B8s & feel if the ride suits you. If ok, run the stock 1s to their end, then do the Bilsteins. I know I'd do that.
Sorry, wasn't of much help here. Thanks for dropping by....Happy Holidays,*Elegend sir!!!

Its all good. Thank you for the welcome, for your knowledge and time... Maybe I might wait... Or maybe I just might add the B8s to the rear... I wonder how that would be?
The problem I have is that the teins HTechs spring rates are very soft, and it might hit the B8s internal bump stops frequently, causing it to very seem very harsh. So I could cut them, which I'm hoping will help. But like I said, maybe just put in the rear B8s with HTechs?... hmm... I'll just keep doing research for now

The HTech drop is mild & designed to work w/ stock dampers. Our local roads here are way worse than yours. Yet the combo seems to work for the 3s here that are mostly daily drivers. I don't think you'll be bottoming out too often....unless you're planning to track or do regular hauling, sir.

guys pa recommend naman magandang car cover na kasya dun sa mazda3 hb. Bitin yung nabili ko sa autoform. Thanks

Thank you kind sir

At the moment, I've done I think enough research to come to the conclusion that I think I'm just going to install everything together. I think I should be okay. I know the ride quality might be a little harsher because of the B8s, specifically when I'm going in a bumpy area and going slow, but I also know that the handling should be better. I won't be doing this till around March (waiting for no more snow), but I'll keep everyone posted, because I think I might be the first one to install HTechs with B8s. I'm just hoping for the best:D

Looking forward to spring & your combo's world premiere, good sir. My calculated guess? You loving that set up.

Wanted to upgrade my halogen bulbs to HID, do I need to buy the canbus harness (for the light out indicator) or the relay harness will do?

Here's a bit of RB History w/ Mazda
Racing Beat's founding duo, Jim Mederer and Takayuki Oku, began modifying and building rotary engines for racing applications back in 1972. It was odd pairing of an American automotive engineer meeting up with a Japanese racer that brought these two unlikely partners together. Together, many early successes came while building engines for dirt track midget cars, IMSA R/S class RX-2's , Car and Driver Magazine's Bonneville RX-4, and Racing Beat's RX-3 NHRA drag car.

Needing a way to finance these projects, newly formed Racing Beat developed and offered a new line of rotary engine performance products. Not all engine development projects were racing applications, some of the more interesting projects in the next few years included a mechanically supercharged rotary engine, a single-rotor experimental engine for NASA, a 4-rotor prototype racing engine, a turbocharged self-contained industrial engine for seismic drilling, and a government-sponsored 1000HP aircraft engine for use in short airstrip takeoffs.

Racing Beat built several RX-7s for land speed record attempts both at El Mirage Dry Lake Bed in CA, and the Bonneville Speedway in Utah, Nevada. Three different Racing Beat RX-7s set new land speed records over a 25-year span. An ill-fated attempt in 1993 resulted in a harrowing airborne ride for car designer/driver Jim Mederer at speeds approaching 220mph! The car was repaired and in 1995 returned to the salt flats and established a new land speed record of 242.005 MPH. As a testament to the extraordinary accomplishments of the Racing Beat RX-7 race vehicles, these land speed records have stood the test of time for over 30+ years!

While going fast in a straight line was a thrill, road racing was Jim Mederer's true passion. Racing Beat-built RX-7s dominated the 1980 IMSA GTU season, winning 8-of-12 races and capturing the class championship. Returning to run only endurance races in 1983, the Racing Beat RX-7 won GTO class events at the 24-Hours of Daytona and at the Mosport 6-Hour Endurance race.

In the 1990's, Racing Beat concentrated their efforts on developing racing and performance products for the newly introduced Miata. Racing Beat's Miata was featured in Motor Trend Magazine and established several new handling records, all with Racing Beat's bolt-on performance parts! In 2000 Racing Beat was invited to join Car and Driver Magazine for a tuner show-off, which highlighted our high-developed 1999 Miata. This project then led to a similar feature article with now-defunct Sport Compact Car Magazine; where the Racing Beat Miata set an all-time skid pad record of 1.1g during testing.

In 2008 Racing Beat was selected by Mazda USA to build and test a 20B 3-rotor engine for use in Mazda's futuristic Furai concept vehicle. This concept car thrilled journalists and legions of web viewers with its display of impressive looks and exotic rotary sounds. Sadly, the Furai's demise came during the filming of Top Gear when it caught fire and was destroyed.

The 2000's continued an era of developmental work with continued involvement with the Miata MX-5 platform and newly introduced RX-8 rotary application. By now the Racing Beat was in full production mode with new products also being introduced for the Mazda/Racing Beat co-branded Protege MP3. A decision was made to sponsor multi-year National Solo Champion Jeff Kiesel in the 2011 KFR/Goodyear Tire/Racing Beat Rotary Turbo Sprite in the SCCA Pro Solo class.

The 2010's continued with further advancement in R&D and manufacturing. Racing Beat worked again with Mazda USA to develop and produce the exhaust systems on two SEMA-bound CX-5 show cars. This project was the starting point for a line of Racing Beat exhaust systems for both the Mazda3 and CX-5 Skyactiv applications. In 2013 Racing Beat installed a 2004 Renesis rotary engine and transmission into a MOTEC-sponsored rotary-pickup project vehicle. Fitted with the latest engine management system and components from MOTEC and a fully-customized exhaust system by Racing Beat, this 70's era classic received a stunning classic upgrade!

Next, Racing Beat partnered with Mazda USA on the development of exhaust systems of three all-new 2014 Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 vehicles bound for the Las Vegas SEMA show. In 2015 Racing Beat teamed up with Mazda USA and the University of California-Irvine (UCI) Advanced Power and Energy Program on a joint project to develop a Distributive Generation/Combined Heat and Power (DG/CHP) system, essentially a small natural gas powered Renesis rotary-engine generator system with waste heat recovery benefits.
