hey bro any disadvantages of using knn filter? is the filtering reli as good as they mentioned? quite curious about this
*
I have been using K&N filter for > 10 years (from drop in K&N to open pod). The disadvantage is you need to wash & re-oil it, you can buy the recharger kit to self clean. Engine tends to get louder as well due to there is a lot more air going into the engine.

Now benefits, can easily gain a few horse power, you will feel more torque and fc will improve as well. From all my previous rides (Honda City, Altis, Wish) all experience are positive and definitely worth the investment.

For me its a necessity to replace. Price wise should be less than RM300 for the filter. You can sell it off as used when you want to sell the car as well. Highly seek after item.

Thanks for the info bro smile.gif

I have found this on ebay Osram LEDriving P21W 6000k LED bulb, the bulb diameter is 2.57cm, not sure if it will be too big to fit thru the headlamp. Do you know whats the DRL halogen bulb diameter? I have read few reviews stating brandless LED P21W are either not bright enough or its lifespan is very short. This Osram LED lumen is 400 and but price wise is a bit expensive. Price indicated is per piece.

it should be, but cant really say until i calculate after i refuel

i tried the apps but both aha and the other app needs bluetooh connection via the app on ur phone to be utilized, which uses 3G to stream music

i rather use spotify to listen music since u can store the files on ur mobile phone, no need to stream

Cool. Do you know how to upgrade Mzd firmware? Have you connect Mzd to wifi?

Congrats.

Check and test everything.

Ex: Paint job, gaps, wheel arch, open door and test and check the gaps. press all buttons and functions (windows, lights, wipers etc), open boot check, open bonnet and check (see if engine cracked or not...LOL).

Take your time to check. Check in a cool place so can take your time, some SA very tricky, put car under hot sun, until you don't want to check....tricks of trade.

Spend 1 hour to check if needed.

Don't let SA pressure you.

Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it.

Yeah sa said all defects will be fixed as it is covered under Mazda warranty. Fixes can be done later.

Got my white sedan today. Overall I'm happy with the car. Torque and hp is really way better than normal 1.5L car.

Yes the manufactured date is stated in the AP. Mine is 2015. Will provide more updates soon.

Got my white sedan yesterday. Satisfied on almost everything M2 has to offer (MZD connect, walk away auto alarm turn on, 3 sec signal light (which you just need to turn half of the signal dial and it will show turn signal for 3 secs. This feature is available at new Benz, which I'm surprised we got it too), night vision reverse camera)

On the other hand, M2 is really lack of storage space which I have problem to keep all my stuff like auto gate remote, gate access card, wallet, mobile phone.

I bought iOttie Easy One Touch XL Car Mount Holder to mount my iPhone 6+ but it is a challenge to find a good place to mount it, as the 7" screen has taken up all the good space to mount the phone. I reckon mounting it at the leather dashboard will not be a good choice as the soft touch will cause mobile phone to wobble. Now I mount my ip6+ in between 7" screen and dashboard. Will take a photo and share later. iOttie is a great mount for 1 hand operation.

lol just dun forget to remove the ballast too  tongue.gif

I'm looking for H4 LED headlight, but the fact is, LED is brighter than halogen but dimmer than HID. It uses very lil power but heat issue might be there, thats why normally LED headlight are equipped with a fan.

For me stock H4 halogen is OK, bright enough. Still considering if should get H4 LED headlight, since it is without ballast but not sure if worth the investment...

As for DRL bulb, I will try to find out current bulb's diameter before getting Osram Ledriving P21W bulb...

Yesterday took out the DRL bulb. It is W21/5W. Bulb diameter is 18mm, so you might want to get replacement bulb smaller than 18mm in diameter. Will continue to research on 6000k LED bulb...
