The soot buildup on Di engines on valves cannot be helped i guess as there is nothing being injected through the port.

That is why Toyota went with their D4-S to curb the problem of soot buildup on the valves.

I heard Inokom has no intention to CKD the Mazda 3 in the kulim plant.

The sales level are too low for them to be interested in CKD'ing the car. They rather focus on making popular models as they not only cater for MY market but also some exports to nearby countries.

I thought the SPCCI engine works something like a diesel? It depends on igniting the fuel by methods of high compression but sets it off with a little bit of spark over very lean fuel mixture.?

Supercharge and turbocharge is actually more or less the same. The volume it can push is based on the design of the blower (supercharger) or compressor (turbo) instead.

The main difference is one is crank driven and the other exhaust gas driven. Supercharger reacts more linear and quite similar to NA type of feel while a supercharge relies on exhaust gases to drive the turbine wheel which in turn drives the compressor wheel.

Are you referring to his wife or the Mazda 3?

Women are a jealous breed. Becareful, i warn you.

Hatchbacks has always been more sexy what.

Take a look at all the previous iterations from BL to BM. Always hatchback wins. Hatchback seriously earn so much win that Mazda has decided to make it the most expensive in the facelifted BM chassis.

but you pay

Pandainya your waifu. Give her a like

Use multi-quote feature la.. Whole page, only your posts..

oh ya it was in their plan that mazda 3 ckd will be dropped

Yeah, from the articles available it seems to be that way. To deliver linear power delivery. Mazda's philosophy doesn't like sudden power delivery. Always linear control.
Anyhow haven't driven the new skyactiv-x engine, would be interesting to find how it drives!

Eyeing the hatchback this time!

Sorry, forum n00b

Well, their current engine which has high compression ratio did not really produce earth shattering power. So, i don't know what i can hope for in the new engine.

For me, it is not meant to be a performance oriented engine. So, i don't really bother with what they stick into the car as long as it doesn't have reliability problems long term wise.

hahaha, the Mazda 3 of course. too irresistible.

You better be. Else, this thread has to change name and be moved to some other sections of this forum.

Not rumour, confirm that the skyactiv-x will debut on the mazda3; not turbocharged, but mild superchargerd

This is so disappointing....would rather that they start with sacking the suspension mounting supplier from their vendor list. Waste so much after service resources on lower arm and strut top mount. Best part still.....also cannot resolve, just kick the can down the road to resurface months later...

As the unofficial thread owner of the civic saying this :

You see before got any force fed stock cars get boosted up to 4 bars of boost pressure?

Of course la it is mild. It is understood in general kan? Eco engine brah.

Just one problem cannot be the defining the problem of the entire plant, kan?

That is like saying because one person is dumb, the entire human race is dumb.

Or one girl is ugly and all women are ugly.

WTH! brah! WTH!





Also, not thread owner. Doesn't say my name there

if say supercharged, nanti konon expectation like the jaguar R series, floored every segment competition....

ok la....got your point on the plant...but just kind of disappointed as the mazda3 is the defining model of the brand like how the civic is to honda and camry is to toyota....

After all, profits rule the world....

Where got say you civic thread owner, cuma UNofficial mah

Mazda has always place more attention to the drivability as it is a more driver centric car. So long it doesn't compromise the other areas too much it should be a problem and yeah also the reliability, so long it doesnt give rise to major problem, then shouldn't be an issue i guess...

Thanks for the info.
What's the price range like? rumour says that there might be some small price hike to the current M3.

I not prophet, no insider knowledge either, just read info around the net only....you seem to know more rumours than what i know, share what you know leh

Small price hike is definite, the exchange rate already quite a difference between the time facelifted mazda3 was launched here and the exchange rate now. Unless suddenly malaysia found a huge oil field or gold mine, the exchange rate won't get any better in the short to medium term. Further, all these trade war thing going on, the supply chain disruption will incur some costs as well....take your guess....

Dafuq.. No more CKD mazda 3?
