no effect on stability la, how fast you can drive? at most 180km/h in malaysia road before you need to stop because of road hogger or reaching the end of the road

just dont install GT wing because it will increase drag and add extra weight

btw...those bodykit is not available in malaysia, you probably need to import it from somewhere else and pay the shipping fees + installation fees + respray fees (if color doesn't match)

I just collected my m3 yesterday from Raytech puchong. Currently the tint im using is Raytech RX series 6 mil security tint. The windscreen is Raytech Ultra and rear windscreen is Raytech RC series. Original price is around 3,500 to 4,000.

The official discount for tint from bermaz not that great actually. I got a much better discount directly from my SA. For RX series if you use the bermaz 500 voucher, you still have to pay 3000++. I go through my SA the price is around 2500 only.

Do you purchase the bodykits?

u mean the rm2.6k in the package? i didnt. but have few in mind in taobao and malaysia's. just worry taobao might have defects as my fren bought for his car and cannot fit well.

I would guess Eibach suits your needs (currently using too)
H&R drop is too low, Tein is more performance type
the rest is abit uncommon here

dropped my front diffuser on highway, improper installation.....

main problem with seaweed...no foldable seats....test driven it quite boring...no turbo feel only benefit is very cheap roadtax like proton wira....but interior feels cheap like city.....mazda 3 highspec for me...safety spec and better discount...

seaweed

how is the handling of seaweed compare to m3? will it be soft like the real seaweed?

I also interested to know more about the handling and acceleration of the Civic 10th gen~

Why called seaweed?

faster collect your m3, we all drive our m3 to honda showroom and ask for test drive

civic and seaweed has very close pronunciation

haha now I get it.

Haha~ later they tot our M3 got problem, all go Honda wanna buy new civic XDDD

New Civic interior cheap like city? sure bo? I think u look at old model. lol. for me is premium with all soft touch even the rear door panel is soft touch with leather. door is solid & heavy. Way better than the old civic. Quality & interior is as premium as M3. Yes the turbo wont feel like VW turbo but definately more powerful than Mazda 3 especially city drive with 220nm from 1700-5500rpm.

Handling i can say Mazda 3 is slightly better and more solid. Civic rank 2nd among all japanese C segment. Civic handling and steering feel quite good also. no seaweed lar..

M3 better safety with SCBS, RVM, LDWS. Civic with remote engine start, rear aircond, LCD meter.

Offcourse Civic is quieter, better NVH, spacious interior & 520Lit boot space.

Comparison between 1.5 turbo vs 2.0 skyactive

Both M3 & civic are equally good. The rest like slyphy, altis, cerato, elantra etc 2nd grade.

haha....have to test drive both car side by side to test which one is better ma

maybe he talking about the 1.8L variant? i heard the interior is different between 1.8L and 1.5L

seaweed got 10nm more torque, city drive should be more or less the same consider that m3 being lighter if i'm not mistaken

but with the help of turbo if really make high speed acceleration easier compare to NA

waiting for someone to do a drag test and handling test between this 2 cars then only will know, i wanna go for test drive but request for test drive need to book the time slot is it? cannot just walk in i guess~

yes 10nm diff but M3 max 210nm at 4000rpm , the turbo 1.5 220nm available from 1700 rpm all the way to 5500 rpm. Thats the diff of low end turbo torque vs NA engine. city drive usually 1500-2500rpm

Yes test drive available for walk in but have to queue unless no ppl

City drive, Civic 1.5T confirmed will be better than Mazda3, as the torque comes in earlier than Mazda3. But I dont see any pros and cons when you're in traffic jam (talking from the view point of KL, Klang Valley owner. I only know jam jam jam). Perhaps FC of Civic is better due to smaller displacement engine.

Ofcoz, acceleration wise, Civic wins all the way. Still, how often you fully utilize the torque? It feels good though, car feels like getting power constantly and any rpm range. Cruising, more or less the same, nobody will keep constantly keep the speed at over 150km/h all the way. (Tak takut speed cam ke? )
But talking of highspeed cruising (i mean over 150km/h) , i still think NA is better than forced induction, and also high displacement (2.0) VS small displacement (1.5). Not sure how the performance of CVT will contribute to this new Civic X.

NVH, as of what info and review get from few friends (includes M3 owner), yes, civic is better. 17" tyres, Conti MC5 vs 18" and Toyo performance tyre (you can foresee the noise is higher ).

Most of us knows that Mazda3 is on downside when relates with noise insulation. A car is still a car, buy what you want, what you like.

berann, if not mistaken, I think you made a booking on Civic X right? Enjoy your ride and post some review in FnF.

What is the recommended engine oil to use for our cars?
Not the one recommended by Mazda, I want to know from all the sifus here

Going to get my car this thursday~~
Really cant wait to get it
Planning to do raytech tint and sierra glow coating after that.

Turbo = more maintenance in future. But the torque at low rpm must be nice to drive.

Engine remote start works from max distance of 10m. Wonder how useful this is.
