2014 Mazda 3

[vinrem]

Went out of town yesterday to check on some orders, traveled a total of 400kms from my house to my Taizou and back to my house, the best I got was when I arrived at my destination at 5L/100, going back was a different story as i was carrying heavy load at the trunk. I'm running maybe at an average of 80kph-95kph but sometimes need to hit 100-120kph when im overtaking a slower trucks.

Hi guys,

May marecommend kayo where to buy lower control arm bushing? Sa Golden Isuzu nasa 9k+ ata yung assembly nila.
Looking for other shops that is selling it a little bit cheaper sana.
Any good OEM replacement for our mazda 3's lower control arm bushing?

Planning to replace it na siguro sa December, or January.

Last year inadvise ng casa sa akin and nung isang araw pinacheck ko sa motech meron na nga daw cracks lalo sa front right side. Pero so far ok pa naman makalampag lang tlaga pag nalubak.

Thanks in advance

What has your odo clocked? Want higher durometer & better durability than OE? Go SUPERFLEX PU bushes. Replace all the bushes in 1 go & regain that bnew feel back....this time, longer.

My odo is currently at 64K kilometers sir.

Meron kaya nyan sir dito sa metro manila or need ipaship from australia?

Ano mas ok sir buong assembly yun palitan(although mas pricey) or kahit yung bushing lang ok na? Thanks

Those PU bushes are popular in Oz & the UK. If you can find OE bushes sold separately, then, by all means, grab em. If not, I won't waste time, moolah & effort putting in replacements of suspect quality. I would go w/ PU or OE assemblies. Suspension work isn't like simple oil changes. They're tedious & best redone right for the long haul.

When i went last week for my pms, they replaced a filter, it's not oil filter nor fuel filter, I didn't understand the guys but he showed me 2 filters, one is the oil filter and one is a long cylindrical shaped filter, do you know what it is?

I plan getting Ovtuned (orange virus tuning) within this year. Is it worth it for my 4 year old Mazda 3 skyhobo? Hp, Torque increase and better mpg. Are there Ovtuned 1.5 owners in this thread?

5 years for me. Time and budget constraints. Pero I'm sure di na bibitawan ni kumander ang 3 when it gets OVTed haha

I also waited but not that long, only 6 months.

There is an increase in wheel horsepower, about 20. In the international markets, this guy from the US claims to have a better low end torque which is useful for everyday driving. I can't find his post at the moment except for this:



He is close to 200,000 miles in owning the car.

Better mpg? I usually get 20-23 km/L before OVT on highway driving. This has been consistent on my usual route. After OVT, the most that I got is 25 km/L.



Please note that I have the Mazda 6 diesel variant while the other from the US has a Mazda 6 2.5L gasoline.

And before I forget, I have my numbers to back up my claim for the additional 20 wheel horsepower. I've read once about a "certain tuner" calling OVT making a fool out of their customers that only do "butt Dyno". Good thing for me that I made the extra effort to have a dynamometer. How I would like to post the conversation here but that will make me cheap.

Wait! I always claim to be a cheapskate. [emoji3]

Cheapskate you're not....A good wise brother...Yes![emoji106][emoji4]

I'm also aiming for low end torque. Not a lot of places to run triple-digit speeds hereabouts anyway.

Called my dealer today, my unit is included sa BCM recall. Better call your dealers also..

While I trying to find a way to replace the bulb of my rear signal light, I notice there a horn at the left side of the scissor jack, do you know what's it for?
