Change to aftermarket antenna will help?

Well, no idea. Any expert here?

i'm going to upgrade to aftermarket antenna with built-in booster..let see how the outcome.

I am thinking.. to make this thread hot, we should start TT session and post up my TT session photo

You may also offer free test drive to fellow LYNers.. this might spike up the name of M3.. haha

You would let random people drive your baby?

So nice..

Morning to all you guys!!! Last week i just checking my engine with my uncle. Then he open the battery cover. He lough at me because mazda not give free maintenance battery. He said "Ini kereta tahun biler? Zaman skarang sudah tak pakai ini bateri." Aiyoooo!!!

yeah.. i'm quite surprise too when found it.. but it only small matter and battery is very cheap.

Any body here change your sport rim to 16" or 17" on 1.6 model? Any comment? Pickup? Stability ? Top speed? FC ?

Sorry, I am a bit busy today so I am not going to search it for you.

Check out somewhere towards the end of the previous version of the Mazda 3 thread (link on the first page of this thread).

From memory, someone changed their rims for the 1.6 model. Stability = better and FC said to be better for highway, but poorer for city.

Sorry... but i don't quite get it. Why did your uncle laugh at the battery? Is it because it is still using the 'old fashioned' water type?

Mostly properly , let me open up my battery box and see tomorrow...

Tomorrow, I am going to pump full tank again and compare x KM vs RM x.. so far 3 bar left, and 487KM.. will do my math tomorrow and let you guys know

This is what I found out from RIM size, for the car 1.6 best to use 15" for better FC.. While 2.0 can have better FC on 17" RIM. Reason that I found out is..
1. You won't need so much engine power to push a 15" RIM compare to 17"... in first hand you saved some petrol, by not pressing too much petrol to move your car.
2. As long as your RIM + Tayar not heavier than stock weight then you can better FC.
Hope above tips help.. (and valid too)

even mazda 2 using 16" rims

"Opt for the R Grade and your Mazda 2 will roll on low profile 195/45 R16 rubber while the V Grade does with 185/55 R15 tyres."

If they use R16 then is low profile Tayar. then R15 is on normal Tayar

so do you understand the meaning of

2. As long as your RIM + Tayar not heavier than stock weight then you can better FC.

i still looking for 16" rims for my ride.prefered M 6 2.0 rims but it was very hard to find one .

Same with me, looks more sporty if change the rim to 16" or 17". Just wait someone here change and give some feedback. Hehehe!!

16" looks more sporty but i more concern about the stability during high speed cruising and cornering

Just want to ask, if i buy honda civic 1.8 sport rim 16". Is it can install the rim to the. It has 5 holes. I newbie for car.

i think honda civic using same pcd with mazda. 5 holes pcd 114

maybe u can try camry 16" rims(new gen) ..it's look nice and fit our car
