2015 Mazda 2

I don't get this 200 km/h thing. It is not like you drive your car that fast every day. Even where I am right now where there's no speed limit on certain highways, I don't drive my car more than 150 km/h even if I can because it's too scary for me. It's not even allowed in the Philippines. My cars in both Germany (where I am at right now) and Philippines (my home) can go past 200 km/h but it does not matter.

They say that the most beer bottle a 160 lb man can drink in two hours is 18 beers and 18 beers in that amount of time is .4 BAC which is lethal. I am pretty sure you won't drink a little less than 18 beers because that's the human limit right? Is 200 km/h for a normal sedan on public roads, where driving past the speed limit is illegal, even relevant or just wanting to know if it can go past its limit? Another is a hobby basketball player measuring his vertical leap in box jumps. Is it really important? Probably for an aspirant in NBA combine needs to know those measurement but for an average weekend player, it doesn't really matter.

A better metric would probably be how good your car runs on 100 km/h or how easy your engine runs on that speed. Does it wiggle or shake while at those speed?

Bullseye, sir... And how good it corners if I may add. =)

It's actually the opposite, Rand sir, you really really GET it! Mind not those of differing perspectives.
We just have to respect & accept that we were all born different & unique. We can read & listen, but subscription is no requisite.

[travajante]

the other owner just wanted to see just how nicer his/her car was than yours..?
heh heh.

Is this a proven postulate, doc? Or a still a theory? Haha.:D

Well said.

BTW its just me but really getting tired of reading posts about how this variant/model/brand is better than this and how sitting side by side this one is better looking (its like that creepy guy looking over the next urinal catching a glimpse of the next guy taking a pee, trying to compare). Who doesn't wish they'd be driving something better? But circumstances however conspire otherwise.

If the gift of knowledge were only used for pure sharing....what a wonderful world this would be.
Great & blessed morning, guys!

heh heh.

On his perspective, maybe. But definitely not on mine. :D That car was my first option and budget wasn't a problem either. But when I saw the M2 Hatch, I knew it will be mine. ❤️😍

[travajante]

Wonder who has started moddin' M2s to make em their own. Please share by posting up!☺

Waiting as well 😀

I wonder if someone's already selling stuff for m2s mod though.

With the NA market launch aborted, Demio guys will have to lean more on JDM, the Thais & all that rice. The Europeans go for simple basic drop & rims.
This car is aching for a good set of 17s & some mild functional lows..I've a coupla perfect 1s but no Demio.

Already messaged Speedlab. For the moment filter pa lang and UniChip. Springs check pa kung similar sa previous gen. Full IHE, maybe wait for someone to volunteer as guinea pig,

Drove side by side with a white sedan Mz2 today along Commonwealth sporting a Quezon Ave. conduction sticker. First Mz2 I saw in the wild.

Please ask your respective dealerships on warranty conditions before deciding on the above mods. Also note that unlike most makes, the stock Sky engine has a Sky 4-2-1 header on, so dramatic gains must not be expected from a custom 1.
Otherwise, you might end up realizing ignorance won't be the usual bliss here.

Of course warranty will be void. We can't even change the stupid horn unless we buy it from them.

Really? That's a 1st, I must say. Terrible dealership you have, Yatta sir.

years ago, there was this popular car that wouldn't move (AT..)..
trouble was finally blamed on the replacement horn.. it seems, the owner replaced the rather sedate horn, with a much noisier one..
.. the wonders of electronics..

It's a common occurrence for dealers to tell you that warranty is void if you change anything.

But this new SkyActiv Mazda2 runs on slightly lower compression (12:1) and only has a 4-1 header. A 4-2-1 might give you more gains than it does on the Mazda3.

[Yatta]

Simple IHE mods will not really give "dramatic" gains, one has to go the forced induction route for that. For the above mods, I estimate malaki na kung umabot sa extra 12HP, most coming from the UniChip tune. And knowing Speedlab, garantisadong may gains ang mga yan.

Shelved my plan to change the muffler, stock already has a nice sound especially in Sport mode.
