Navigation increased price to RM1,270 Include GST I believe. Yesterday went to Bermaz Auto check.

Have to check with Mazda Japan and see whether we can buy as spare part from them or not.

+ Cruise control for me

Your SA is desperate for sales, get more discount from him.

Nice headlamp design, but would the headlamp leveling knob works for third party lights?

What is the price for original 185/60R16 Dunlop Enasave 300+? I scare this size is "cold market" and price will be expensive.

185/60R16 vs 195/55R16
Diameter
24.7" vs 24.4" (-1.2%)
Width
7.28" vs 7.68" (+5.5%)
Sidewall
4.37" vs 4.22" (-3.4%)
Circumference
77.7" vs 76.8" (-1.2%)
Revs/Mile
815.6 vs 825.5 (+1.2%)

All Specs are in Inches.
Speed Difference
Tire 1 Tire 2
20 mph 19.8
30 mph 29.6
40 mph 39.5
50 mph 49.4
60 mph 59.3
70 mph 69.1 (dial show 112.6km/h but actual speed 111.2km/h)
80 mph 79
90 mph 88.9

So in the end, you are safe from speed traps. Not sure what about the FC though, since need to spin the wheels more to achieve the same distance (+1.2%). So if as claimed 5.5l/100km (18.2km/l) +1.2% = 5.57l/100km (17.97km/l), full tank 42l, so every full tank you lost 9.66km. All based on theoretical numbers.

I believe some tyre shops will import it in eventually, just a matter of time and price.

Can check is the tyre made in Thailand, the original 185/60R16? If yes, then it is easier to get it in here. If made in Japan, it will be very costly.

Nice, if it is available there, then we can ask some Dunlop shops to import it in (more expensive) or wait locally-made tyre manufacturers (Continental/Dunlop) to churn out this size. If there is market for this size, they can churn out this size. Time will tell, most probably after 1.5 years or 60,000km, only then you will need to find replacement, unless got nailed at the side wall (touch wood).

Nice to see enthusiasts want to mod the front headlamp.

I believe nothing should be done until warranty is expired. Else, you are giving them a reason to deny warranty, unless you change back to original.

Asking my SA to ask their service center.

UK selling rubber car boot for HB.

Tint over there are much much more expensive. Try go around KK and ask for price. Should be cheaper without Llumar, but Llumar is one of the famous tint in Malaysia.

I asked at Sunway, KL area, the price for Llumar tint is about RM1600 for Crystal grade, haven't nego, just walk in ask around.

Not much option in KK, and everything is expensive in KK, yet salary is like kampung area, unless you are your own boss.

Remember to check the rim offset as well. You don't want to buy a rim offset too outwards/inwards and bump your fenders, or wheelwell. Happened to my Myvi before, and don't trust the tyre shop selling you the rim saying can fit can fit, 99% cannot fit and have problem due to wrong offset, yet they want to push their sales, later got tyre rubbing sound against the fender or inner wheelwell, then the tyre shop say, sold is sold, go change your absorber to harder so won't happen, then I 120% you will fuuuuuuu him. Do your research about the rim offset for Mazda 2 then buy as accordingly.

Can phone GPS works within the car perfectly? I know VKool Elite will make GPS go haywire, and slow SmartTag detection.

RM450/window perhaps? Read the fine print? RM450 x 6 glass on Mazda 2 = RM2700

VKool Elite or Hamel/Sahara-X?

My SA give me Llumar tint, not sure which, but mentioned it is anti-thief type.

Now stands at 70% windscreen 50% the rest. Come 1st May should be 70%-50% front windows-30% rear passenger and rear window.

I am thinking of whether to wait till then to put 30%.

Then, inb4, postpone again.

All thanks to GST implementation.

Any news on the availability and price of the 185/60/R16 original tyre in SC?

This post has been edited by RicoT: Apr 8 2015, 04:44 PM

Then this is a big issue for M2 owners lor. Even Nissan sell SHybrid Bridgestone Ecopia tyres at SC, at high price of course, but at least it is available.

Memang safe already, + can give luck help find parking too.

My SA didn't reply, most probably don't have lor..

I am checking with a friend doing tyre shop see he know any brand he carries got 185/60R16. Or can import from Thailand.

Got a reply, he said his supplier going to get it into Malaysia, since it is a new size here, so expect it to be a bit on the expensive side than normal tyres.

Toyo Proxes R39 OEM tyre for Mazda Demio and Mazda 2 in Europe.

Add me when I got my car, booked and now loan processing.

Depends on the supplier.

My friend asked Toyo supplier since Jan, no news yet, but should be soon, since everyone is busy with GST.

Can, tell the branch sales manager to change your SA, since the branch want your sales, and they will assign you another if you ask.

That is Mazda Skyactiv for you, then again, run until empty tank to know the true FC, my '06 Honda City clocked at 19km/l 1st drive after full tank but after running till empty, 14.8 km/l. Fuel tank are bigger at the top so the fuel decreases slowly until if past the half way mark. Fuel indicator are usually linearly calibrated to the float in fuel tank, hence, the computer thought the car used up fuel at a lower rate then.

I am curious what is the rpm when Mazda 2 is travelling at 110km/h?
