Same with Mazda Pampanga. They'll even allow my hands to get dirty.

I'm their fan, too...but to earn legit celebrity status, they have to show proof of service bay clearance.[emoji4]

You can try Mazda North Edsa, their repair bays are accessible to the clients.

I've been there twice this year. Service bay is accessible. I can even talk to the mechanics servicing my car. The only complaint I have with North Edsa branch is the very tight space of the service bay.

The only reason why I went to Mazda Makati for the pms is to have this front left suspension noise checked. To my disappointment they haven't found the underlying cause.

Mazda North EDSA & Quezon ave are managed/owned by the same company that manages Ford Balintawak branch.

Meron na po ba dito nakapagtry palitan stock rim and tire ng 1.5 HB with the stock ng 2.0? ( 215/45R18)? How is the ride kapag 5 nakasakay and loaded ang trunk, di ba tatama sa fender and in during turns? TIA!

The 2.0 BM/BN share identical underpinnings w/ the 1.5. You will have no issues upsizing to stock 18s.

If the diameter is the same, it is plug and play. Do note with over 500lbs of payload you need to inflate the tires to higher pressures for the 45 aspect tires.

Hi Guys

Need some help. I recently purchased and installed Tein Flex Z on my 2016 Mazda 3. Ride height at rear already at max and Dumping was set to stiffest but still have tire rub. My tires are 235 40 R18. Any recommendation? also for those who installed flex z on their M3, did you install the plate on top of the rear shocks?

What's the width & offset of your wheels?

8.5 offset 41

8.5 offset 41

^The rub cause there. Limit on 8.5s would be 225/45/18 et45 up on the BM/BN3.
Roll rear fenders or swap your rear control arms w/ adjustable ones(HardRace/Megan, JBR, SPC/Eibach got them) for camber tweakability. Nothing to do w/ FlexZs.

Thanks Sir Travs. How about the plate on Flex Z rear suspension do you have an idea? The mechanic did not install those plate and said it was meant for old mazda 3

Is this the BM/BN FlexZ PN:VSMA8-C1AS3 you have? If so, everything must go in. The gen2 BK has a different Tein PN.

Thank you for feedback sirs! 😊 how about po yung tire na 215/60/16 (cx 3 base model tire specs) swak parin naman sa stock rim ni m3 base model di po ba?
RIM: 6.5J x 16ET50
bolt: 5 x 114.3
thd: m12 x 1.5
cb: 67.1

aspect ratio 60 is 2nd choice ko para hindi matagtag compare to 45.

salamat po ulet sirs!

AA/Carplay module finally installed!

AA is a bit buggy. Steering wheel phone button doesn't switch to phone from Waze. I also set Waze to night mode on my phone but the car ignores this setting and still depends on the headlight switch positions. The keyboard will take some practice. Still a good buy though. Goodbye suction cups

Will fiddle around with Carplay when the missus comes home.

Cruven, M3, Zee or Velocity Auto Underchassis Specialist. Pwede ka pumili dyan kung ano mas malapit for check up ng pang ilalim. M3 and Cruven madami sila branch.

Already tried Velocity sa Aurora Blvd. They replaced m3s lower arm bushings. Satisfied Naman ako sa pagkabit nila and friendly yun mga mechanics.

If magpapa align sir sa Drive+ ata ok since meron sila Hunter Roadforce na pang align.

Unless that firmware update is coming from a legit source that's officially provided by Mazda, I prefer not to do it. Too may malware out there that can easily be placed inside the firmware and compromise your phone when connected to the infotainment system.
