Did you tried workshop outside? SC might charge you extra also

I'm interested to know the price as well

Toyo really too expensive for my budget, but if 400 for 18" seems like a good price

Toyo tires is quite rare in Malaysia, T1R and proxes is easier to find but nano energy is close to extinction
I'm fine with both bhp and caltex ron95, maybe bhp is better because they add more addictive?

Shell and petronas is bad

I find that the HUD in HS lack of 2 things, it should show the current gear when driving in manual mode and the shift indicator for the sake of it

bro mine also GL spec, but i can only managed to hit 470km++ almost every tank.. haha.. maybe i jam a lot kot, more than 15 traffic lights everyday on my way to work and back..

now using 18" HS rims, feels heavier yet i am achieving the same 470km++ per tank, maybe i change back to 16" should hit at least 500 haha

M3 with the sunrise 

yesterday jump started my car, some of the things got reset, some remain the same

things that get reset:
Lane Departure alarm settings
all sound settings
HUD position is weird, original position is higher, after jump start the position appear lower
AT shifting points
Trip A and B
Fuel trip settings (average & range)
AFS disabled by default
no more i-Stop light

other settings remain the same include the clock and other safety settings, the i-stop light is probably because i opened the bonnet and start engine, not sure if this affected the i-stop or my battery doens't hold enough charge for i-stop anymore

so far no battery management system warning at the CMU (dammit...cant claim new battery from sc)

the shifting point in my car now feel different, it tends to hold gear when it doesn't need to, i guess the ECU get reset to default timing and need to relearn again

May i ask u all bought Mazda 3 got any discount/rebate? how much u all get if got?

i see. SA will give u free accessory or free gift? now i have check with SA, they giving me 1k only. others have any comment on that?

I get RM1k disc and RM 500 discount voucher  during road show in 1U.
The SA give me free 4miu safety tint and LED side step.
Upon delivery of car, 1 fill tank of petrol...lol

customer buyback due to uneven white paint. previous owner buy another m3.

I saw some news that CKD madza 3 will coming out soul red color. is that true? i tot only CBU unit are available for soul red color.

I see. hope Mazda can come out with soul red color as this color is trademark of Madza. it is also my favorite color but there is no option in mazda 3. 

Just found out that if it blinks, you jst need to step the brake harder in order to activate I-stop.. Yeah, whatever   

got 2 TT for m3 next month

m3 skyactiv club - June 3
m3 club - June 25 (trip to taiping for charity and durian trip@Penang)

Mazda 3 got remap better performance?

16" lowered? mine also meteor gray but with the stock white rims

it seems like our car seating is slightly lower than other cars, when stop side by side at traffic light can see our seating is a bit lower, that day i sat on my friends saga flx front passenger, i feel so tall and i can see the distance in front of the car clearly, when driving m3 i always need to estimate and cannot keep too close

next time i go back hometown should drive back my vios see how it feels like

Facelift anyone?

no active grill shutter, few of the members has done the plate modification, the lower grill seems to serve no purpose, the CAI is only at the top right of the front grill
around that price if go to sc, but during 3 years/60000km warranty period the service and parts is free

after warranty better just go outside workshop and do the servicing, not sure how expensive the spare parts is gonna be when compare to nissan
2.2 D is nice, 2.0 skyactiv-G already has 200nm torque, maybe 2.2 D will have something like 250-300? since 2.5D turbocharged is 450nm

but malaysia dont really see japanese diesel cars on the road other than pickup and van?

cold air intake, basically is an air vent that draw in cold air from outside

for our m3, it is found at the right side of the bonnet hook

With the palm oil lobby pushing for B10 diesel all diesel fuels will be affected including Euro 5. What's even more frightening is they are pushing for B20 diesel in 2018 even though manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes say that B10 doesn't suit their engines which will clog up the injectors prematurely.

Until this is sorted out I would hold off getting a diesel car. Besides diesel engines have impressive max torque but they run out of grunt fast as this torque is only over a limited rpm range. In a drag race the diesel car may lose to a petrol car with much lower torque figure.

The 2.2 diesel comes in 2 tune :
150hp/315nm
175hp/350nm

There is no 2.5D, only 2.5 petrol turbo for the new upcoming CX9.
In normal driving, the torque curve is more favourable to the driver as the bulk of the torque comes in between 2000-3000rpm without the need to change gears, where most overtaking are required. So just step and go, quite effortless decent acceleration. Do you own a diesel vehicle before or feel the torque kick of a modern diesel car?

On a normal naturally aspirated car, it takes rather long to wait for the torque to arrive at higher RPM range of 4000 and above (unless you drop a few gears) or you have a turbocharged car.
Diesel engines are made more robust than petrol versions as they have to deal with the higher compression and torque when the engine is in operation. So they are technically more tahan lasak.

The expensive maintenance mainly on the diesel particulate filter (DPF) exhaust after treatment (which our regulating authorities are not imposing and also from crap quality diesel) which can get choked off from too frequent short runs, stop go traffic or cold engine runs (which most of us face daily in malaysia). That one cost quite a lot to replace when fully choked off. Need to have at least once highway drive a week to let the DPF regenerate/burn off the soot accumulated.

Another killer is the dual mass flywheel (DMF). A lot of the german marques' DMF die starting as short as 50k km. Some last longer but will still eventually fail longer down the road. Most of the owners (i refer to UK/Europe) lease diesel vehicles as mostly after 3/4 years, the problem starts and they change their lease to a newer car to avoid the headaches. Also the urea (or AdBlue) that needs to be refilled after 2 or 3 fuel pump visits. Without all these, the diesel exhaust is extremely polluting. Imagine all the diesel exhaust crap in the air we breathe in daily considering that our government is not enforcing emissions control and the combination of crap quality diesel and old age engines running around with plumes of dark clouds. Wonder you ever heard the term "rolling coal"?

Hm.. quick question, cant seem to find it in this thread.

Would it void the warranty if I were to change to the same size rims?
