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.

QUOTE(ssaturn @ Aug 1 2010, 06:17 PM) 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?

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?

QUOTE(WindRider @ Aug 7 2010, 03:56 PM) Hi All, I am owning a M3 Pearl White, my FC is really bad nearly 400KM full tank of Shell RON 97. Can the SC do some tuning on it to make a better FC? My FC is also about the same as you with 100% city driving (mad traffic jams included) for a full tank of Shell RON 97. So far i've clocked 5000 km already. I guess for a car 2.0 is ok la. Mazda is not famous for fuel efficiency anyways..hehe

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 7 2010, 08:03 PM) Full city driving for me can cover around 350 - 400km include some traffic jam. Dun compare it with vios or city but if compare with my previous waja should be around the same. City or vios can get another 50km on top of the 400km for a full tank? i'm not too sure myself. But i know waja is not fuel efficient..quite thirsty actually..i've got one in my house...FC same like my m3. haha

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 8 2010, 11:22 AM) City and vios should get around the same mileage as our M3 but their tank is smaller, but on highway if follow the speed limit can cover more than 600km for full tank. About the waja, I also own one before its mitsu engine, tank capacity very big.. End up the mileage its a bit more than M3 but offset it by the actual fuel use should be the same. The waja campro get worst fc than our M3 I think. Btw my petrol expenses can be claim.. So its no matter how thirsty the M3 it is I dun care.  so nice can claim petrol expenses..if thats the case i think u can just keep zooming around..me can only do it once in a while... Added on August 8, 2010, 11:30 amCongrat for your new ride bro.. Graphite mica would be nice. white is too common.. Always got confuse at parking with other white M3, summore I think the other M3 owner alway have a tendency to park next to my car.. Maybe coz family reunion  . Hahaha.. Happen to me twice. yeah i think white is too common already but nonetheless still a nice colour although hard to maintain la. Congrats max_cavalera. btw, is it a 1.6 or 2.0?

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 9 2010, 03:06 PM) not too sure about that.. different engine got different characteristic.. mine already 10k now.. the engine a bit noisy now. FC improve a bit, previously around 9.5~10.5L/100 now around 8~9L only. wait after i service for 10k and will give the final verdict. whats ur mileage now?

when u said your engine sounds rough...is it because u used RON95? hmm i guess i'll have to clock in more mileage to see significant drop in fuel consumption...

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 9 2010, 06:28 PM) Maybe because of the RON95, tried 97 vpower is smoother but FC will be higher, it's noisy but only can be hear from outside of the car. suspect the sound come from the aircon belting. Will ask SC to check it later. have u already redline ur engine? i read somewhere on the net one of the way to break in the engine is to redline the engine. i done it couple of time if i'm not mistaken when my mileage around 2000km to 3000km. yeap i redlined it once only. engine was pretty loud i tot it was going to explode. lol. and when i use manual to change gears when i reach redline, somehow i see a lag in changing gear time. like when i reach 6.5k rpm i press the flappy pedals, the rev counter will go to 6.7k rpm only second gear will engage...hmmm...

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 14 2010, 05:28 PM) i dont think 300 can buy a new one.. especially when our mirror come with signal light.. i hear the fog light already cost more than 1k.. should be more than that.. any possibility to repair the damage? does it broken into pieces? The mirror broke into pieces and i think the internal motor was damaged la. Duno can fix or not. Thinking of sending to a normal garage and see if they can fix it before going to the panel garage as a last resort. Yaiks. Bad day >_<

QUOTE(jumajuma @ Aug 21 2010, 04:50 PM) Our company got some construction work there, so I need to visit in daily basis. I mean the rim not in perfect rounded anymore. Already re-do the alignment at klang and their mechanic said cannot balancing the wheel anymore unless repair it by flame torch and skim. Put the repair under kiv, and relocate the wheel to rear. Before going in kesas rite after going down the bridge got big pothole due to road maintenance work. I manage to reduce my speed to 40kmhr before hit it but still damaging the bumper and rim. For stonechip I lost count already. Luckily I done pps to my car, but still got few mark on my hood. PPS can prevernt stone chips? AFAIK, only a thin film of paint coat by those painters can help to protect against stone chips.. QUOTE(wufei @ Aug 21 2010, 10:47 PM) Every parts for MZ3 is expensive. Have you guys give a thought how much the windscreen will cost? Not too sure about windscreen...i'm guessing at a range of 1800? coz the wing mirror is already 750
