Yup. Its better / safer to get those drilled on. You dont want it slipped out esp during ebrake.

�

i watch on youtube that the bar for you to drill on is quite thin...

�

Then for the drill hole location, is it universal? Say if after drill hole on this pedal, after a few years i change to another pedal, will it be using the same hole which i drill previously?

�

The original/ stock pedal was also not drill in de right?

Correct. I believe original brake pedal is a rubber cover as well.

The brake pedal is remove stock and replace. Only foot rest and accelerator pedal needs to drill on the original.

Cool. Can update me on the HKS filter when you've found out pls?

$120 for drop in filter and S, M and L spare filters at $35, $45 and $58.

These are RRP. Thinking of doing a GB.

Thanks Bro dcb.

Not familiar with HKS. Novice question, do you need to oil these? What is S, M, L spare filters?

Hi bros, been driving my MZ3 for about 1 month so far. Getting around 13.5km/l. Still pretty far from the fuel consumption on paper.

�

And one more thing that I noticed is that there is a slight vibration at my foot area whenever my vehicle is idling at traffic lights without iStop. Is this normal for a brand new car? I don't recall having this vibration when i first collected the car.

�

i've been driving mz3 for 10 months. rmb the first a few mths fc was high. then i reset it now it is 16.7km/l, my fren gets about 15km/l after 5 months... guess first a few months higher fc is normal

�

of course also depends on traffic condition and how you drive :)

No oiling needed. The filter element is sponge type. Small, Medium and Large size spare filter element for you to cut and replace the one that comes with the frame.

Thanks Bro dcb.

It shouldn't because it's not engine/mechanical or electrical alteration.

Majority upgraded to 18".

Regarding PPS, I think around 50% of car owners would go for some sort of PPS.

Edited by HamtayoChan, 20 April 2016 - 10:11 PM.

Beware on the pedals falling off when driving. Happened before from articles i read.

Agree on this. I had to lay a 3M double sided tape along the accelerator pedal to secure the pedal cover.

You won't really feel the difference. If your budget permitted, you can go for lightweight 18" wheels, which have similar weight if not lighter than the stock 16" wheels. Genuine RAYS Gram Light, SSR and OZ wheels come to mind.

You can use car shampoo to clean your windscreen, just don't wax it. Wax can cause your wiper blades to judder.

which part need to put 3M tape ? underneath the rubber which contacts with the stock pedal? or between the metal & the rubber ?

�

any safety concerns with those not required drilling ones ? I see JDM also just put it over the stock ones without any drilling.�

u have to think� long terms , the tyre cost between 16" and 18" i heard is quite significant. YOu will feel the pain everytime you change tyre.

But the tyre cost between 16" and 17" is not that much, you may consider change to 17" instead...

Don't know abt Universal hole location. For me, hopefully i'll change car before I change the pedals.

�

�

Hmm.. won't that lower your car cost when you change car? I recall if your car is stock, can fetch higher price, so if your pedal is drilled, consider modified ? LOL

Don't think that's a concern. Mileage clocked, how well maintained & accident free are key considerations. On mods, if you mod engine, air intake, suspension etc...then you'll be concerned...but maybe will attract diff buyer.

Hello everyone,

Got my coe yesterday for my M3 yesterday :)

Want to ask for advice about solar film. SE threw in RikeCool solar film as freebie. Was wondering if RikeCool is ok? Or did you guys get offered a different brand of solar film by your SE?

Ask your SE for the money for the RK films. Go do other brand. I tore away the RK films and installed infratint.

After driving for a while when I'm about to reach my destination, then it starts to reflect the correct route.

my GSP sometimes hanging forever at "loading navigation". It only goes away after i stop the car & restart the engine. anyone encounter same problem ?

as long its there, good liao.

still trying to lower my FC. currently 2nd tank.

dropping to 8.0L/100km = 12.2km/L

�

thinking of doing PPS but decided not to since i read that after a year need go touch up and pay money again.

just wash it regularly should be fine.

which part need to put 3M tape ? underneath the rubber which contacts with the stock pedal? or between the metal & the rubber ?

any safety concerns with those not required drilling ones ? I see JDM also just put it over the stock ones without any drilling.

Between the metal and rubber. The accelerator pedal is metal (or maybe a blend of plastic and metal). You can just slot the pedal cover in it. For extra security, stick a long strip of 3M double sided tape between the rubber cover and metal pedal.

I dont turn on istop at highway to prevent excessive engine restart during heavy jam. I prefer to turn it on when traffic light jus turn red. Is anyone doing the same way as well?

I do exactly like that. Same thinking behind it :)

what does the bonnet insulator does?

I think the main purpose is to protect your car paint on the bonnet. It prevents the engine heat to be excessively transferred onto your bonnet.

There is a mixed opinion about using the insulator. The good side of it is as mentioned. The bad side is the engine heat has one less way to dissipate, trapping it in the engine bay. High temperature is always engine's worst enemy, especially in our climate. There is really no super benefit for putting an insulator.

�

I usually control the istop using my brake pedal application.

�

When�I do not want the istop to kick in, when coming to a stop, release the brake ever so slightly just as the car is coming to a stop, plus it is more comfortable for the pax. Unless I have to e-brake, the istop will surely kick in.

�

If I want the istop to activate at a long junction, further depress the brake pedal to activate the istop after coming to a stop or put to N and pull the handbrake (although this will also wear out your gearbox).

Need your advice/opinion.

If you intend to take up 20% loan for purchase of the car but was offered unlimited mileage 5 years servicing with the condition that you need to take up 50% loan.

Interest saving for 20% loan vs 50% is $3k.

Is the servicing worth more than $3k ?

You can call your bank to have it transferred back to the deposit account. If not, it will stay in your credit card as additional balance credit.

Original credit limit $10,000. Refund booking fee, your credit limit becomes $20,000.

Could be hotter inside the car. What is your fan speed for the air con? If it is low, try to bump up the speed as it is likely your interior is hotter than outside. Because after a rain, the outside air is usually cooler and if you are travelling on the expressway, the teamperature will lower even more. So if the exterior air is cooler than interior, your interior will get fog due to hotter air within the cabin.

As some one already advices a/c vent facing window will always fog it out... I always tell my passenger if too cold just close the vent on face it towards the leg area

it was 24 even i off the aircon also same.

It's just dew point temperature and relative humidity. Figure it out and you'll know why it fogs up. Same reason why spectacles fog up sometimes when you exit the bus or taxi.

hitting my 1k mileage soon!

haha heng got 3 years free servicing. after the 3 years, may need bros here to intro a good workshop for servicing in the east area.

thanks guys. I checked when i collected my car just now after work the passenger aircon vent was not blowing to the window. but the rest i will monitor it and see. thanks for the advise!

well, if they are more or less the same price (or even top up a few K), personally i would rather get Mazda 6..

�

Mazda 3 1.5 standard & deluxe are better value for money..�

I won't. and its not "a few k". Am never a "face level" kind of person.

�

Buy within your reach. When policies adjust, the bigger the car they change the taxing system don't cry next time lol

You are back!

Guys,

�

I've noticed an issue. After heavy rain, my windscreen and passenger side windows gets fogged up. So i used the defogging function to clear but it is not able to clear fully and the fog comes back real fast. In the end I keep using my wiper to clear it but the passenger side window I have to constanly wind up and down.

�

Any advise from any bros?

�

Thanks in advance.

�

If the fog is on the outside, only two possibility:

�

1) The aircon vent is slide too much to the left making it blowing cold air onto passenger window. This will cause fogging outside the passenger window.�

�

2) The airflow mode is at defroster mode, letting cold air to blow on the windscreen. This will�cause fogging outside the windscreen.

�

If you have checked that both settings are correct, than there must be some leak in the air valves that cause the cold air to blow onto the glass, send it back for TEK to check.�

if you aim for Mazda 3 2.0L , why not shoot for mazda 6? also M6 is much more negotiable compared to m3, so maybe end up the same price or only slightly higher? more worth while right ?

�

Actually I prefer the M3 2.0L over M6 standard.�

�

Same 2.0L engine, plus all the sounds and whistles for M3 2.0L. You will need to top up a lot more to get all the deluxe features on M6.

�

If dont need all the deluxe features, can consider getting M3 standard, not much difference with M6 standard, can save more $$, just need to accept the 1.5L engine. Ha ha.

Any bros here can confirm the OMV for Mazda 3 1.5 Deluxe? I recall because of the CEVS rebate, after deducting the $5000, only slightly above $10,000. Say if you drive it for 10 years, when scrape that time only can get back around $5000 ?

yes, agree Mazda 6 is a beauty inside and outside. Seeing is believing.

However, a luxury jepun sedan serves a different market/crowd vs a compact b&b sedan. That's why you see so many Mazda 3 on the roads as its more mass market and value-driven. Those who can afford and looking for more space, comfort, luxury feel and better drive will go for Mazda 6.

Really a lot of Mazda 3.
Last weekend, I saw 3, or 4 Mazda 3 at the traffic light junction near Kkh together with mine.

hi i like to check with the bro here. I need to drive to KL this weekend, round trip slightly above 800k+

�

my mileage now is 500km, is it okay if i do a long distance at this point.

�

i used to have an altis way back 10 years back, then ask me to wait for oil change at 1k �(change from mineral to synthetic)�before doing such long distance. same with mazda, i read in the earlier thread mazda dont do oil change at 1k?

i don't see any issue bro.. 1k servicing is just "inspection" & "check" to make sure everything is ok.. just don't cheong too much during your trip...

thx bro, good to know. so after what mileage i can start to chiong :)

Dont use cruise control during run in. Read your manual.

�

1) The aircon vent is slide too much to the left making it blowing cold air onto passenger window. This will cause fogging outside the passenger window.�

�

2) The airflow mode is at defroster mode, letting cold air to blow on the windscreen. This will�cause fogging outside the windscreen.

�

If you have checked that both settings are correct, than there must be some leak in the air valves that cause the cold air to blow onto the glass, send it back for TEK to check.�

�

I've checked no 1 and even off it. but still same.

�

I even off aircon, but still see mist.

�

Thanks for the advise, might monitor and if need I check with TEK

thx bro, good to know. so after what mileage i can start to chiong :)

�

most bros here will tell you just drive normally,�no special run in required... the fact that we're a bit more careful during the first 1k is just to play safe / have peace of mind later on..

�

i don't think the official owner's manual got say you should not use cruise control during run in.. but TEK did say don't drive at 1 speed for long periods.. how "long" is long? not sure... i did use cruise control on & off in KPE/MCE during my first 1k.. but you know lah, SGP highway how long can it be ?� [:p]

here's what TEK says in its website

Precisely... And I deem cruise control an useless function in Singapore context.

something like that. but most ppl try not to talk about this

�

i always use cruise control whenever i have the chance lol

Audi never try?

Read a lot of comparisons between a full loaded Mz3 vs base Audi A3. And in the comparison, Mazda wins!!!
What's ur views?
