2014 Mazda 3

[Bravoexo]

Anyone here experienced something similar to this? From the article:

"Interestingly, purchasing spare parts for the Mazda3 proved to be somewhat difficult, especially if you’re the DIY sort of guy. In our experience, buying anything from the parts department requires you to share your vehicle’s plate number or conduction sticker number. Although this guarantees a proper fit, they’ll also question you as to why you need that particular part. From the looks of it, your vehicle record will be updated too, indicating that you got these parts for your car as well. Telling them that you “need spares” is typically good enough, but it nonetheless caught us off-guard when we’re used to just buying parts without any sort of interrogation."

I like that they confirm and know my car's history, like how many times I changed engine mounts, O2 sensors, lower control arms... and the likes.... they also take note of parts I've replaced myself with uprated 3rd party parts (like Cold Air Intake, Brakes Rotors, Brake Pads, Shocks, etc)... and they never bother to ask me to change them as per their PM schedule

Some swear by Amaron. I would probably use the same too since my 1.5 would be 2 yrs old too in Aug. There's a store (4-L yata name) in Q.Ave in front of Fisher Mall, beside Classmate. There's also another store in Banawe (Jawe yata name).

When the rear window is fogged up with moisture (in the early morning or raining). I also use it when its raining hard. Dries up the glass faster, especially in sedans where there is no rear wiper.

WeatherTech has M3specific liners available thru its Ph distributor, Hart Int'l.. Test fit the rears as the US-spec'd ones will leave an inch gap by the rear door sills due to them using a different front belt anchor. If I recall right, try the set for the Mex-built units even if ours are from Jp.

I prefer Maxpider over Weathertech. Super heavy ang Weathertech and serves the same purpose.

I didn't know that Weathertech has Mazda 3 specific mats available here.

Not sure of current inventory, but they had em some 3years back. The BM & BN share the same liner model.

Does the hud of the 2.0 scratch easily?

Unless intentional, I don't think so, just make sure you use a soft cloth, prefer microfiber ones.

Prefer Maxpider too, no PH reseller?

Does anyone have a Corksport cold air box installed in a 1.5? Their site says it will fit a 2.0 and 2.5 but since they're US-based they don't mention the 1.5 because it's not available there.

If things fall into place I might get this before visiting OVT

It's not going to be a direct fit, but pretty sure PeligRacing can. He has squeezed a bolt-on 2.0 BM SRI into his M2.[emoji4]

Any reputable genuine OEM parts reseller? Found one in Taft, FB reviews were good, not sure if anyone here already availed.

Casa prices are just ridiculously insane.

Really depends on what you're looking for. I've compared prices w/ US dealerships, they're hit/miss. Some are about similar, some are off.
