Hi, guys

Would like to ask if it's alright to remove either positive or negative terminal of my M3 battery. Mine's a 1.5. I will be going away for 2 wks and apparently, no one left at home knows how to start it while I'm gone. I'm just worried battery would drain and cause it to shorten life span.

Will it have issues with ecu or computer box? Have tried to find some answers using google but cant find any specific to m3 skyactiv. Thanks for any helpful inputs...

Got your email, sir. Point well taken. Will have to go the spare stock 2.0 route though since I really would want to keep my car as quiet as possible (the exact reason why I opted for the 2017 model - NVH and stuff). Regarding the OVT, definitely going to try that in 2 months time. Sanayin ko lang sarili ko sa stock tuning para nakangiti ako after the OVT. [emoji6]

I'd get a CTek trickle charger & not worry about anything, sir. Doesn't just keep batts from draining...keeps em healthy longer.
Should you unplug, unhook the negative.

So I was here lying in my bed and about to sleep, when all of a sudden I hear a really faint whisper saying "shark fin antenna". Weird.

A FB member once sold his 2.0 stock muffler for P2k when he upgraded to axleback. Sayang di ko naabutan.

Just thinking, aside from the 2.0 stock twin pipe muffler, would it be possible to get another 1.5 single pipe muffler, have the pipe cut & installed on the other side of the existing 1.5 muffler?

Its just 2 weeks, wouldn't worry about leaving it as is.

Yup, ask & PM justdiy how. It involves some proper alignment. Best done by a good exhaust shop, sir.

AnytiM3, sir. I keep the batts of garaged 1s healthy by trickle charging. Really extends batt life & keeps all those electronic gremlins away.

No need to disconnect. 2 weeks is very short. Our car sometimes get unused for 2 months. One click start pa rin. But I make sure the car battery is fully charged before my travel.

Any chance you can still source these yummy fins boss Travs? I have searched every siomai house in search for OEM but only found OM

Casa quoted 8,499 for the oem. And they would still have to ship it from Japan. So if ever sir travs could source one, kindly count me in. [emoji6]

Hello,

My baby had a boo-boo before Christmas. Nabangga yung back side door including the quarter panel side. Parts are already ordered and she's waiting to get fixed sa casa. The casa recomended that the back side door should be replaced, and the quarter panel side, repaired. Medyo maliit lang naman kasi yung gasgas at dent. Casa explained to me that if I'd like to have it replaced, it'll require cutting and there's a huge chance that a rust might form from the cut. So if you guys are in my position, repair ba or replace? T.I.A.

If it involves cut & weld, I'd go for replacement.

The benefits of Yojin3: Mzd3 was on the 5th PMS, still 23k and no charge by Mazda QA the "auto tensioner belt" this was completely replaced! MazdaQA requested that they install the remedy for the front toktok sound. I' m impressed with Yojin3 & MazdaQA!
