HI anyone knows if adding an amp, sub woofer and component speakers will void the warranty? Cause it requires a lot of dismantling and wire cutting...

and...anybody's 2 cents, huper optik or 3M crystalline?

Oh please add me, 2.0 Sedan, Artic White!

It's in my wishlist to add amp and woofer on to the car, however just worried that it'll void the warranty  sad.gif  Alternatively you can try GS Mazda Authorised Accessorries Shop  wink.gif

You mean Mazda's authorised accesorries shop are selling sub woofers and amps? Where is this GS place? Cheers

I installed my M3 HB few months back at Damansara Utama. Brand Huper Optic. put 50 for front and the rest is all 30. Look a bit dark at first but now I regret not putting the front 30 also because to me can still see inside at night. Workmanship is good. Posted here before when I install the tint. Go here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2075582/+1120
Good luck! and congrats on your new ride smile.gif

They do sell sound system and car alarm and all. I went there last time to collect my car because I installed the reverse cam and brake lock there.

Walau, your tint is so dark! What are you trying to hide from the public? brows.gif
Or are you like Ryan Gosling in Drive...hehehe...getaway driver! Thanks for the tips...I live in PJ too, so damansara is very convenient for me. I was actually very inclined to 3M...all say their tint is the best...aiyah..banyak susah! rclxub.gif

I will definitely get the reverse cam too...bout 300 right?

Just installed 3M Crystalline 40 for my sides & back, 60 for my front..
Looks great to me.. Dark from the outside but inside not too dark..

3M is highly recommended!

Hey guys,

Need some suggestions or advices from you guys about what shall I do next regarding to my case.

I placed a booking on a 2.0 HB on April, then when come to the process of loan application there is some ding dong back n forth which delayed me 2 months. Then when the loan is finally approved, my sale agent said he has released my car to other customer and now is totally out of stock. When got stock? unknown.... As I know ckd HB had been stop production.

So my questions come,

- shall u at least notify me for releasing the car which allocated to me.

- I truly understand your sales need to go on, but at least u will find a replacement ASAP as I'm keen on purchasing the HB. Or you were assuming my loan can't be approved forever?

- called to HQ last Friday they checked and said my application status is still "on going", magic happens this morning called them again. They said my status became "cancelled".....WTF!!!

- they asked me to scan the receipt of booking and email them, they will send over to management and figure out what they can come out with.

Honestly I am a bit disappointed on how they managed this, any member experience similar case like this can give some advice? I'm keen on HB which I stated to them.
*
If the car is unavailable, they should give you back your booking fee 2x. Since if you cancel the booking they would take the money, same principles should apply to them.
And if you insist on the HB and it is out of production, ask them to import a CBU one at no extra cost. Maybe you will be the first mazda axela skyactiv owner drool.gif
If all fails, complain to the tribunal. Check the T&C on the booking receipt first to make sure if you have any case at all, maybe it has a time limit or something like that. Good Luck! Be tough!

It had smaller i think. They tried to reduce the size of the smiley and made a sharper look for the fog lamp area. In my opinion, the current design is better than the fl m3. And from pictures, it seems that the fl interior. They took away the chrome part around the gearbox area thus making the interior darker and lose out the tiny bit of luxury feeling in our current m3. Oh and they added silver line on the aircon vent flipper which are missing in the current ones. If u guys noticed. Lol..
*
I totally agree with you dude. I think the current ones (our ones) are better looking. My opinions are not out of jealousy or spite but i really do think so.

Thanks Bro for the very useful info, it really help me to chose 1.6 vs 2.0
Question
1) Difference price offered to me for 1.6 & 2.0 is about RM17K++, I am still considering
FYI
I mostly ll drive from housing estate (sub-urban) to city (distance 20km before reaching town 10km)
I daily drive to work usually speed is 80km/h-120km/h as it's not really a highway, for 10km distance (70km/h) & another 10km is short highway (100km/h-120km/h), before I reach town (trafic jam) 10km/h (8km distance) to office.

2) At 1st place I though M3 come with a leather seats but only for HB if I am not mistaken.
The M3 leather seats is RM2,800 according to salesman but my friend said if we do it out side (semi leather RM800) & Full leather RM1,500 is it true?

3) If we get normal CD player, they ll rebate RM2k for GPS
Again my friend said, can get outside "dash-build touch screen with GPS & reverse camera" is about RM1,400-RM1,500 (China "A" grade), better isn't it?

4) See these filter
http://knfilters.com.au/
http://www.knfilters.com/kits.htm
It's able to increase by 26HP (mean if 1.6cc at 107HP +30 = 137HP), true?
I am interested on this item, say I booked 1.6 & install this, worth it right?
*
1. 2.0 bro...I have a 2.0 and my colleague has a 1.6..seriously, if you want the zoom zoom factor..go for 2.0. No regrets, if your budget permits that is. It's gonna be at least a 5 year investment...so i'd suggest to go for 2.0. You will feel pretty frustrated with the 1.6 especially going uphill...carrying people. City driving or highway driving.. 2.0!

2. You can get outside leather seats...but it might not complement the interior well...you are at the risk of bad workmanship...I have the ori leather seats and it feels plush and looks good.

3. Ok you can skip the caska player (the one mazda offers), if you are using ipod it doesn't show the album cover and it's just downright unfriendly. Even playing files from the USB is really dumb and cumbersome. And as with all OEM players, the sound quality is poor. You can't even preset radio stations (simple function man). However, if you are going for the China made ones...then I'd say stick to the Caska one...China made ones look cheap and so does the display..the Caska one sits nicely on the dashboard and looks good. So if you want sound quality, beautiful onscreen display but no GPS...then go for a Pioneer double din..

4. K&N filter..i'm thinking about it too...but i heard you have to buy some applicators (not cheap)...and clean the filters with it...so it's troublesome and additional cost. But I do believe it will give you some extra power, that's what other people says anyways.

5. They will offer tinting (don't go for it...outside cheaper, cause SA will earn comm from it), instead go for insurance or if you can get both better la.. My insurance was 3000 plus (NO NCD...acc last year cry.gif ).. So I got Caska player, Leather seats and insurance...good luck in trying to milk them more for it!

I was once in Kuantan & I ask the SHELL Tank driver where he get the Shell petrol.
I am very shock when he said in Petronas Kerteh.
Is it mean, Shell & Petronas do contra biz & advertisement make the fuel difference to us as a consumer.
I believe, East coast Shell & Petronas using same petroleaum due to distant & in west cost, may be Petronas use Shell (from Klang), after all they contra the biz, both of the company ll gain transport cost.
What is the best petrol brand?

What say u?


Added on July 9, 2012, 10:10 am

Bro,
Thanks for your info
Now I am thinking of 2.0 after all but ll see AH LONG ll approved my Loan or Not for 2.0
At 1st place I was thinking 1.6 for 2-3 years usage as I made to understand from this forum, M3 passenger ll feel head spin & uncomfort due to sport spring (better handling).
If can used up to 5 years, 2.0 is a good investment
By the way, How much is a total discount for 2.0?
I mean how much OTR with full insurance?
What Free Gift u get?

Do u feel regret if they launched new facelift with build in DVD & other features like PUSH Start, White Speed Meter & facelift?
Should buy with discount or wait? I am not in hurry as my current Vios TRD is just 24 months
Do u think Dec 2012 or Jan 2013 they ll clear over trade new facelift for some better discount?
I dont mind to wait as my Vios also still new (still a virgin bro)
*
The suspensions for M3 is a bit bumpy i must say...hard. On uneven roads can also be bumpy..
I didn't opt for any cash rebate...like i mentioned i went for the player (built in DVD, leather seats and insurance. Total about 8-9k in savings?
Are you sure it comes with built in DVD? No I don't regret not getting push-start button... I considered it but the savings attracted me more. If it was the Skyactiv engine...then maximum tu lan la...
Your car only 2 years old....aiyoh...just continue to drive it la...car is not a good investment la..I only changed cause i drove my waja for 10 years!! If you can wait even longer...wait for the Skyactiv engine...maybe early next year? and yes, they will probably give more goodies in a few months...New Civic is out soon...so M3 probably wont sell well again...(not that is not good....but being malaysians...all think about resale value and go for honda and toyota...to me....BORING....) erm...no offense to your Vios!

Actually, I ve 2 car at home, 1 is TRD & the other 1 is Myvi, both taken end 2010
My friend fetch me with his M3 & I started to like the design as it look like dinasour to me (not many on the road).
Even though my head little spin when I was inside the car, due to the hard spring but the discount attrated me to buy.
In the other hand, I consider
i) If RM7k-8k off, new FL with DVD (deduct RM2k++) & Dec again deduct RM5K, back to square
ii) What is so great of Skyactiv engine? Saved petrol & powerful?
iv) Fiesta 1.6HB (84k) with 6 speed cheaper then M3HB (106k)

I heard this model should come in Malaysia but Bermaz still have the balance of the old engine to assemble in their new FL, once finished then M3 come with skyactiv
How if new Civic not doing well? Bcoz I saw front part, they copy Preve & Rear Part, they copy Persona. Price as below:
1.8 RM115k
2.0 RM120k
2.0 RM130k++ (push start & GPS-DVD)
I dont think ppl ll pay so much money to get sth like Proton

Polo Sedan vs Saga FLX
interisor both same, plastic
Exterior abt the same

Saga FLX Price RM49K + Emblem of VW RM50K = RM99k = Polo Sedan
*
Skyactiv, more HP, slightly better FC, and it transmit like a manual (more ommph).

malaysians..are design blind..they will go for brand rather than looks and performance. So Civic will sell pretty ok i think. Actually the PUG 308 turbo is a good and powerful car. Turbocharged engines are just a different class! It's super fun. But since PUG and Mazdas do not have a good 2nd hand value... well u know the rest.
I drove the fiesta sports edition...underpowered but it's only 84k. so it's apple and orange.
Polo Sedan...no way! Polo HB yes way...powerful little thing. Anything with TSI is good! but both interior like proton iswara...
Go for M3 la....no regret! when i sit in my mom's new city to reverse the car out...the interior feels so cheap... then when i get into my m3...it feels like a beemer. The interior is really luxurious for it's class... Fun to drive too! Tiptronic and paddleshift...3 options to play bro!
And moreover...it looks damn good!

i believe the bodykit/ foglamps have changed. Plus it has a cool sunroof. Luckily, apart from that; not much difference.

Hi,

Have you soundproofed ur car already? I couldnt stand the road/ tyre noise also (my M3 sedan 1.6 is 3 weeks old). Went to KL auto, and did the 4 wheel arches (queit drive), autofoamed the chassis as well as well as the boot treatment all recommended to reduce the road/tyre noise. All in spend RM3k plus...

In the end, I don't feel much difference... just slight improvement only. The handling is better, goes over uneven patches and bumps better but road/ tyre sound still......

Anyone successfully managed to soundproof/ reduce the road/tyre noise succesfully? Please share ur experience. The KL Auto owner says changing tyres will really help, anyone changed their tyres already and find that there is much sound improvements? Please share as well.

wow...3k plus is a lot of money for 'not much difference'... i wanted to do it as well...but now, i may just give up and accept that mazda 3 is a noisy car...
