2014 Mazda 3

[techd]

I recently had my 1.5 OVT'd after almost 2years on stock. Can i feel the difference? YES. HP gain? I dont know. Currently on 2nd tune and car behaves differently... from stock AND the 1st tune. And thats coming from a person who does not know his way around cars. The reason why I had it tuned was to make the car more fun to drive and not to race it(its a 1.5L! )

It doesn't matter if you have a 1.5 L engine or smaller if you want to race your car. I've seen Mazda 2, Honda Brio, and Mitsubishi Mirage join Touge Battle.

i jope that oil filter is really angled that way. but i doubt it. at least you didnt run dry. hope that pan is cheap. It seems like a aluminum or is it a resin?

that horizontal bar... is it welded onto the frame or bolted on?

Ran over a rock while on the highway. I thought it was small enough to pass over it, but the bumper got it and dragged it all the way down and under. The oil pan was deformed but thankfully no leaks.

The filter looks fine. The pan is metal. Hope it's mostly just the cover.

I think its bolted on. Casa says the oil pan and the beam will be replaced. Thankfully the car is still insured.

Next time you see rock, roll away. It's best listened to, not run over.[emoji14][emoji111]

Hard Rock won over Heavy Metal today....Good thing collateral damage was just plastic. Better thing, you got insurance. You're still very blessed.[emoji120]

I can relate to the pain. I ran over (what I thought was) a grass clump on a dirt road in my '95 Lancer. Turns out it was hiding a rock. Luckily it just hit part of the lower arm and didn't cause any misalignment. But the shudder and the noise were terrifying.

Locally? Akebono stock pads...Dealerships. Bendix should be around thru auto supply shops.

Yes I know, they give the dyno as an "option" which a majority don't take because OVT says 'drive it around for awhile and after a week we'll come back to download it again... and again" w/c is really silly. They should already include it in their price. "Butt"-dyno is unreliable and prone to placebo effects. I mean you just spent P15-20k, you HAVE to feel a difference right?

OVT US has this to say. Should this be at least the standard approach that OVT PH should be doing too?
