SALAH THREAD

National Car Invasion Detected.. Wrong Thread dude.

Guys,

I was wondering if I occasionally rev my engine to the max 6.5k rpm, would that do any harm to the engine and transmission itself? like for example, i go into manual mode and i rev to 6.5k rpm for every gear change...from 1st to 5th gear...

I heard my friend say we should do that to the engine once in a while la like once a month so that any carbon deposits would burn off from the pistons and deposit into the engine oil. or something like that.

good for engine but damaging our gb. our AT clutch will slip if we push it too hard, will worn the seal faster. to remove the carbon deposit try this put at 2/3rd gear then rev slowly up to redline.
AT gb not meant for acceleration.. thats why we can rev the engine easy but the urge of accleration is nowhere, must wait the torque converter engaged then we can have the power.

Agree with Juma says, but normally I do it with Free Gear.. press it to 6k, and spree WD 40 into Fuel Injection valve. That the way I do it to my Old Wira la..

how do u press to 6k and spray WD40 into Fuel Injection Valve? thats like u need to dismantle the engine to be able to access to the Fuel Injection Valve isnt it?

Huwaa.. really admit defeated today by mitsu lancer 2.0GT.. trunk road from lukut till sepang then continue to NKVE.. this road is almost become my everyday road but still didnt manage to tailgate the lancer. the acceleration is just crazy.. while at sharp corner near Jimah powerplant it takes corner as solid as my M3. Only on highway i manage to take a lead.. but maybe he's not full trottle anymore.

Is the lancer is too good? attack corner as fast as M3 but while exiting the corner the acceleration is very good and i can't keep up. maybe the power of CVT.

hi everyone...newbie here... after weeks of comparing models and test drives, l made my booking today for a Mazda3 2litre, aluminium colour...l have no doubt l have made the right decision !! This forum had enlightened me so much ...........Right now, l cannot wait for my new smiling wife to come !!

Just like to know that before l take delivery in 2-3 weeks, what are the things l should look out for ? Any freebies l can get or things l can negotiate for? Thanks for advising.....

I wish to know too Anyone can help?

Dear Jumajuma, you're fighting a very good contender. It comes to no surprise to me, when u say M3 can't beat Lancer. I have few japanese friends, here are few notions from them:

Mitsubishi / Lancer - "You drive a Lancer? Mitsubishi always produce fast cars!"

Mazda - "You drive a Mazda? That is our (Japanese) proud answer to BMW!"

Hence, I believe Mitsubishi are always known for power, while Mazda for its driving prowess and built quality. I prefer to have the latter, because most of the time i see cars speeding like hell are Vivas and Wiras anyway...anybody can pedal to the floor, man...but ride and handling can't be easily installed.

Few Lancer friends already fretting about Proton's move to re-badge Lancer. Gonna render 2nd hand lancer price lower...


Boy United, I don't think u can get many freebies from Mazda, hence the likes of Audi, VW, Jags etc....these marquee don't need freebies to sell their cars. U pay premium price for the quality u get from your ride. It's as simple as that. However u can check wt ur SA in case he can offer you something.

What to do before delivery? Get a nice number, pal! After WYY 9999, I think wilayah numbers wouldn't be as exciting anymore, if u want wilayah plate nos. Think of Singaporean plate nos......u get what i meant.

hmm planning to buy new waja for my wife if it really true that proton will rebadge the lancer. at 1st planning to buy exora.. now change mind already.. kikiki

freebies for mazda? dont expect too much.. i got mazda cap and thermos only.. haaha

i've got a free cap and thermos too which i think is pretty useless la...and oh i also got free tinting...hehe.

Well guys I could say you're luckier.

The only thing I get is that registration of zoom-zoom club which every Mazdarian got lah...but it's a good thing, coz i love the discount for pizza and Kenny Rogers.

Cap n thermos is petty stuff but free tinting? Hmm...depends on what brand of tint you've got. It could be a great deal!

I think the rebadge lancer will be on. But they might still want to push waja stock soon. If you're lucky, maybe at discounted price (or full of freebies).

ooh i forgot about the tint.. got free tint but the normal capalang one.. so i top up to get the vkool elite..

other dealer might offer free GPS unit and t-shirt.

Added on August 6, 2010, 6:22 pmaha.. i didnt get the zoom2 club card.. but ithink is pretty useless for me. i dont think they have waja ready stock now. before i bought M3 already asking few proton dealer for waja cps, need to order and expect around 3-4month waiting period.

I also heard about free GPS. That was a real deal. But from what i know, it's only for 2009 registered car.

that Mazda club card will be beneficial to u only if u eat Kenny R, Papajohn pizzas, krispy kreme doughnut etc. My wife loves Kenny R, so every now and then getting 10% discount is really something to me. Paying less is always better, isnt it? hahaha

If that's the case, then I guess they have already stopped wajas production didnt they?

Mind you, maintaining a Lancer will cost more than maintaining our M3 (my friend's ABS sensor cost him RM3k for GLS!), and much much more than a Waja...

But i thought ABS is under warranty? or unless your friend's car is over the warranty period already then its a big hole to the wallet eh.

The Mazda card is good for Starbucks too!

Oh btw, i was wondering if our card expires already then will they automatically send us a new one or do we need to follow up?

Yeah warranty's over so it's a tough one to cough for him! BTW, he also complains that his service charges are more than of M3 2.0, eventhough he do that at EON service center.

Yep i forgot to mention starbuck....but actually, the main use of that card is to flash it in front of friends with lancer, civic, altis or even peugeot hahaha...

i heard that u still can use & enjoy the discount nonetheless, even when the card expires. Not sure myself though...

hmm maybe need to survey more, i dont want my 2nd car service cost much higher than mazda3.. Mazda8 would be very nice but it way way above my budget. maybe should settle up with exora..

will be servicing my M3 next week for 10k service, what other item i should look for? can we ask them to retune the engine? in proton we can ask them to re tune the ECU.

So i choose the vkool discount offer instead.. but vkool elite is not GPS friendly la.. i always got reception problem and need to lower down the side window to navigate.
How to apply for the mazda club card?

Oh dear, what makes you think those owners will envy on a Mazda3?

Can we extend mazda car warranty? Coz I heard Nissan can extend their warranty, of course need to pay.
