QUOTE(zweimmk @ Mar 30 2013, 06:17 PM) You're right. It does have a relay socket. I was asking specifically for the 2013 Mazda 6 since kindman is a M6 owner. I understand this is vastly available for many car models in the market. There's a few people on the FB Civic facebook group that installed this. None of them actually said anything about having anything cut. Even the installers also didn't say anything about needing to cut anything. And I am sure for Locktech (Thailand) it does disable the ignition if not unlocked. Not just a mere "brake lock" or as you phrase it "old school pedal lock".

QUOTE(zweimmk @ Mar 30 2013, 06:38 PM) You're right. I was thinking about something else until I went to look at it again. kindman Is installing it today, that's why I quoted and asked him. All of them in the Civic group installed lock-tech. So if this locktact is the same thing, then it should work the same. Actually, you want to know how it works, simply contact the shops like etoni car accessories to get your answer. Tel: 03-91326818 / 016-4411601 |

If refering to the Mazda Australia spec sheet. The temporary tyre size provided is 185/55 R16. Wonder if it's a compact or a "full size".

In regards of shiftronic/shifting using the gear lever.
Look at how racing drivers upshift/downshift gears using the sequential shifter There's a reason why our 2013 Mazda6 shiftronic is designed that way and not up/+ down/- Mazda6 SkyActiv-D Race car This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: Mar 31 2013, 11:21 PM |

I've seen a few VW Golf Mark VII on the road. Surprisingly it looks visually smaller than the previous generation despite supposedly grown physically bigger in size.

This is the DC 24V-DC 12V converter that's being replaced for the 2.5 recall.

Agreed on aftermarket painting wont match the original paint.
I think soul red match with matte/glossy black skirting will look pretty good. |

QUOTE(fadzly @ Apr 4 2013, 10:32 PM) Ok la. Dari xda terus. No need autolevelling, manual enough. No need adaptive conering. All those involved many mods to the system. For me, Enough for the drl and the halo lamps. Not quite sure others. If they can be fully fx like a 2.5 headlamps, then its a bonus for me. QUOTE(zweimmk @ Apr 5 2013, 08:06 AM) Neo_Y is right. Even if you could retrofit the headlights to the 2.5 version, there's nothing you can do to fix the ECU programming because the difference between the 2.5L and 2.0L ECU is also a matter of sensors involved. Worst case scenario is when the wiring somehow messes up other (electrical) parts of the car. The installer/service center may/liekly tell you disclaimer that changing headlamp will void the warranty and you (the owner) has full liability. When that happens, likely you can't return the headlamp for refund and could possibly spend more money fixing/replacing other parts that became defective because of incompatibility with the headlamp installation.And I'm pretty sure the headlamp won't cost 1k after all the tax and trouble they take to bring it in. You'd be lucky if they charge you just RM2500 for it, and then there's a matter of putting in all the sensors and reprogramming or refitting a new headlamp ECU to ensure the AFS and AL function is working without any error. It's actually quite a lot of work. |

QUOTE(Ng Eng Chong @ Apr 4 2013, 09:42 PM) Today just ask my SA about that also,he also told me can be fit but those wiring and ECU inside the headlight of 2.5 can't be use in 2.0 cause probably those high beam control and auto levelling can't be used if u insert the 2.5 headlight to 2.0 headlight,end up he said just change bulb could do,plug and play,just my 2 cents When it comes to such technical replacement, I usually do not trust what SA says. I'd rather speak to the Service Manager or a senior service advisor. Sometimes SA can BS all the way and those who are not so savvy consumers, may just fall into their trap. |

QUOTE(Neo_Y @ Apr 5 2013, 10:57 AM) Requested a re-coat during first service. Car came out with great amount of swirl marks, severe swirl mark, it is like my car was trapped in million of spider webs. That's quite severe because it looks like your clearcoat has been compromised. Need's polishing work already. Service center that did this have to bear all costs and compensate you! I'm so pissed now. Their craftsmanship of Tribos suck big time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Swirl mark only appear under direct light sources, images can't tell you much, but it is million of it. Anyone who do not satisfied with their Tribos, please think twice. Their so called specialist Tribos applicator are just noob and have not much knowledge upon car detailing, they de-coat my car by just whack the paint with a rotary polisher, and then re-coat with zero passion. There's nothing wrong with the product, but the person/service center personnel who prep and apply it to your car. This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: Apr 5 2013, 11:01 AM |
