Hello All,

1) Will I get back my road tax (I exachanged my 9y 6m month old Corolo Altil).
2) How do I claim my unused insurance back?

Thanks for your help.
1) No, you will not get your road tax back.
2) My SE did everything for me when I bought my Mazda 3. Basically, you need to hand in an application form (containing your current address and current policy number), insurance certificate, and car's ownership transfer agreement (you will get it on the day you collect your new car and trade in your old car).
Reimbursement of unused policy usually takes a while from what I have been told. I still haven't got mine after 2 weeks.
Try Autokinetics or Hurry Tyre.Hi, where can I find BBS rims? Can recommend workshop please? Thanks.

Many thanks for your prompt reply. �My SE says I need to apply myself.... Different people different service :(
I checked about CeramicPro 9H protection from ACE Gt Pte Ltd, Yishun which I am still thinking about doing it. The Owner said that If I show his existing customer reference (copy of CeramicPro warranty card which they give after work done) I will get additional 5%. I think some of this forum members already done this so if any one can help please pm your copy of warranty card for me to get additional discount.

Thanks again.

Dont bother with those coating. Waste money n time. From experience.
Hi guys, can I check if the hud can be turn off? Saw a few m3 with the hud up,but did not see the display, wondering if the owner switch the display off?
�
you can disable it via MZDConnect as well as adjust the panel angle.
�
The display should fold down when it is disabled.
�
That said, which angle you look at from? Only the driver can see what's on the HUD, so if you are looking at them from side angle or outside the car you will not see the display projection.
What format must the thumbdrive be to be recognised? I can't even scroll down to the USB option.

BTW. Collected car today. YAY!!!

1) As mentioned by others, road tax cannot get back.
2) Give your insurer a call and for me (NTUC) no paper work required. They will send the rebated amount to you by cheque within 14 days.

The money spent might as well change a new coat of paint with different colour (if need to) 5 yrs later.
I tried to off I stop and during stop with D on, RPM is higher than 600 thus no vibration.

you can try it tomorrow...
off the i-stop and use ur brake to hold the car while gear in D at traffic lights...

im pretty sure im not the only one...it vibrates and rattles like those cheapo china made hand massager.

I guess it depends on which shop that does the coating. Revol did the PPS on my previous car. I was quite happy with their work and the coating results. It was definitely much easier to maintain the car shine with the PPS (all I did was weekly car wash). The caveat is that you have to bring your car back for regular polishing and re-coating, at least once a year. The first PPS usually is costly, but subsequent polishing/coating is cheaper.
The money spent might as well change a new coat of paint with different colour (if need to) 5 yrs later.
Haha... that's another way to look at it.
BTW my car doesn't have a switch to lock/unlock all doors (not so much of a concern since can still use the lock level at door), and it doesn't auto lock the door upon moving. I thought�such a feature�is rather basic and�should comes with our new car?

I don't know! I booked on 15th Aug after National Day paid the deposit etc. Was told that soul red need to wait till Nov cos out of stock, must ship from Japan blah blah blah. SE cannot give me a confirmed date till now. So I am waiting.., waiting ... Waiting.., everytime I see a Mazda on the road it kills me! I find myself staring like a teenager just entering puberty...
Can any expo goers from today confirm that there is ready stock for immediate collection for red deluxe mazda 3? Heard form my friend that it is going for 102k with guaranteed coe and ready stock. What does this mean for wveryone who has been on the waiting list since mid this year?

Did u call ur SE to inform him/her ur collection date. As my i know from my SE shipment estimated arrive on 10 Nov and can arrange collection from 17 to 20 or later date but not earlier.
Need logistic & time for the guys to prepare car like polishing, pump petrol, qc check, iu....etc...
Also, does switching the i-stop off benefit us or the car in any way? Would be strange if switching it off maintains the life of the starter cos it's supposed to be a new tech thingee for the car that aids it.
I tried to off I stop and during stop with D on, RPM is higher than 600 thus no vibration.

Just to clarify, does that mean there is no button at the Drivers' seat to lock all the doors behind? That should be a safety feature for people with young children seated behind...

The driver's door lock will lock all the doors when it's switched to the 'lock' position.

I think what he meant was that the doors will lock automatically upon engine start or move-off. I think I saw that option in the settings list on the MZDconnect. - just go to your settings option and scroll around. I think it's there.
I saw the Owner's Manual today when I collected my car. OMG!!! Like 'O' level textbook. Haha.

Unfortunately most people wil change to some taiwanese rims which is more brittle and dangerous compared to original. Lighter rims do improve braking...

Yes that's right. I'm rather surprised cos my old car has that so I thought it should be a standard feature... but you�should still be able to�lock/unlock all door by using the lock level at the door handle. I will try it later and revert.

Danzo, just to share as I have collected recently too... I booked on 16th Oct, 2 bid guaranteed. Got my COE during the following week, paid deposit thru iBanking and registered car on 30th Oct, take delivery of car on 6th Nov.�It was a special�arrangement by SE, normally will get car 2 to 3 days after registration, but because I urgently need a car and just nice they want to bump up their sales figures, so she told me the car needs to be registered on 30th Oct for collection on the following week, despite the car has not physically been delivered to Ubi (in fact the car arrived in Ubi only on 3rd or 4th Nov).

Thanks for sharing, will take note of that when choosing rims. Our current rims lasted us throughout the lifespan of the use of our Vios. Changed it immediately after we collected our ride, no idea where it's made from, oops.

So now I go original only.
why don't spent 1.5k to respary the color u like are 5 yrs instead? At least, we can confirm it is a guarantee shine as brand new after 5 yrs.

For all these shining/protection coating, anything more than $500 is not justifiable for me to take.

2 days ago meaning Friday? Then all the more for me to chase SE for delivery of our car since our payment is already cleared and inside Trans Eurokars' bank account, hmph!

one more thing to take note, my SE told me that they will register the car in the morning and I can collect same day evening. I will update once I have collected the car.

Nice, your car is registered on the same day that you collect your car. I remember our previous cars were registered a couple of days before we collected our car.
One more question, what colour is your ride? I'm wondering if it's soul red that is the problem in giving me delivery date.

nowadays they register the car online, that's why can collect same day as they need to do the nos. plate and IU after getting your car nos.from LTA
Danzo, just to share as I have collected recently too... I booked on 16th Oct, 2 bid guaranteed. Got my COE during the following week, paid deposit thru iBanking and registered car on 30th Oct, take delivery of car on 6th Nov. It was a special arrangement by SE, normally will get car 2 to 3 days after registration, but because I urgently need a car and just nice they want to bump up their sales figures, so she told me the car needs to be registered on 30th Oct for collection on the following week, despite the car has not physically been delivered to Ubi (in fact the car arrived in Ubi only on 3rd or 4th Nov).
So good, you got your car so fast! May I know what colour you chose? Our SE did call us on 25 Oct and said there's a soul red deluxe hb available for registration by 30 Oct but collection was 2nd or 3rd week of Nov. Not as fast as yours :(
As what i know from my SE, soul red is I n nov shipment...mine soul red hb deluxe 1.5l is there...So good, you got your car so fast! May I know what colour you chose?

Yes that's right. I'm rather surprised cos my old car has that so I thought it should be a standard feature... but you�should still be able to�lock/unlock all door by using the lock level at the door handle. I will try it later and revert.
�
Oh wait. I just realised you were referring to the child lock. I'll let you know when I check later. Or has anyone else noticed? It should be standard on all cars. It's at the locking latch on the door body.

Mine was booked early Oct. Did all the paperwork and preliminary payments within 2 weeks. Collected on the 7th. Soul Red Dlx sedan. I also traded in my old car - I think that plays a part cos they make more money thru that.

My first taiwan rim (kyowa) bought for my first car in 2008. After I sold the car a few years back, I gave it to my friend. He is still using it till date, going strong!

Oh, but some share that they only collect their cars 2 days after car has been registered so I thought it's still the norm.
We booked ours in mid-Sep and SE said car has arrived. So now I wonder how long we have to wait after paying the down payment. Thanks for sharing, will check out these 2 shops that you've mentionedAs what i know from my SE, soul red is I n nov shipment...mine soul red hb deluxe 1.5l is there...

Oh, yours so fast, envious. I think Fantastic_Duck also booked same car as yours and he has been waiting since mid-Aug. I'm still keeping fingers crossed for collection this week. My SE can only say "tell you on Monday" :(
Will the above help to have better FC?

That's true.
I was thinking to keep stock rims but change the stock tyre (toyo 205/60/r16) to a better grip for wet/dry and quiet.
Will the above help to have better FC?
The toyo eco energy stock tyres r supposed to be fuel efficient.
Cant have the pie and eat it pal...
Fuel efficient.quiet. grippy and cheap.

I am in the same situation as you. Mine is sedan soul red deluxe. SE told me to drop cheque on 11th but collection date unknown. Could be 17-20th ... I waited since 15th Aug 2015. Bro Axela got his soul red much earlier although he booked later than me. My Friend in car industry says SE always smoke customers, it's part and parcel of the job. I just LL and wait and wait and wait...
Are you refering to NanoEnergy 3 205/60/R16 Load Speed Index: 92V is the stock tire?

does it have the same fuel efficient if i change the tire to 205/50/R16 load speed index: 87V?

Some SEs are like that one. I was lucky to have a good SE. She was efficient and prompt in informing me about the progress of the purchase (from COE bidding to car collection). Although I didn't get the soul red color, I was able to collect my car within a month after I signed the dotted line.
In my opinion, the stock Toyo tyres are decent. The gain in FC is not going to be significant by changing the tyres only. Lighter rims, however, will give you more significant gain in fuel efficiency.Are you refering to NanoEnergy 3 205/60/R16 Load Speed Index: 92V is the stock tire?

By the way, if you switch to 50 profile tyres, you will change the diameter of your tyres. That will cause an inaccuracy to your speedometer. You can search for "tire calculator" on Google and use it to compare two or more tyre sizes. The calculator will tell you how much % off are you from the stock tyre diameter and will also tell you the estimate % inaccuracy to your speedometer.

I salute you for your patience. You know, my SE initially told me collect car on week of 23 Nov and I said no way. How can I pay money and wait 3 weeks for collection of the car if it's already in SG? And I'm also away on week of 23 Nov. Now I'm pushing for collection next week, I don't buy having to wait for 2 weeks to collect my car when the money is already in their bank since last Thursday.
hmm, ligther rims better FC...:)
�
if by changing the rims to 17" with tire of 205/50/R17, does it still cause inaccuracy in speedometer? will it improve the FC?
�
In my opinion, the stock Toyo tyres are decent. The gain in FC is not going to be significant by changing the tyres only. Lighter rims, however, will give you more significant gain in fuel efficiency.

So when changing tyre, should stick to the same profile as stock toyo tyres? Did you change yours? If you didn't, how are the stock toyo tyres? Slippery on wet road?
agreed with you!!! push SE to work for us and hearsay, they will only collect their comm aft handing over the car to us.

Do you think it's possible to reconfigure the car's ecu to recognise the new tyre size?
Not sure whether the stock tire are Toyo NanoEnergy 3 with spec as below.

Unfortunately most people wil change to some taiwanese rims which is more brittle and dangerous compared to original. Lighter rims do improve braking...
That's why I stick to japan...SSR from stamford not bad....
Any bro or sister use air pressure gauge (Tpms) for the tyres? Is it good? Go where to install?
Autobacs got 1 old model...only $150....I using it....paranoid...drop 2 psi only wanna pump....search for steelmate....ZMC is the distributor.
Bro Axela525, very tempting poisoning to change rims as well ;p thanks for sharing on the stock toyo tyres, then definitely change tyres but rims still tbc heh heh
Change no regret....its like wearing light track shoe to run than the army boots!

Might as well 5 yrs later spend 1.5k to respray the whole car to another colour.
Just like changing handphone case to give a new look haha

For some, myself included, there is nothing comparable to the original paint coat, which was dip-coated. Especially if it is a pearlescent or metallic flake coat that has beautiful sparkle. Soul Red can be considered a "special" paint as it is a multi-coat that results in a multi-chromatic shine that can be difficult to replicate. Thus it is one of those types of paint that is worth protecting. Plain solid gloss paint, nah, you want respray that, no problem.
�
I would prefer to preserve the original paint as much as possible. Also it bodes well for your resale value... usually if you manage to keep original paint looking amazing, it instills confidence in potential buyer that you have care for your ride

Axela's one is a standard though, likely they had different stock counts for deluxe and standard.
Though honestly after seeing what he done to the car with aftermarket, I think should have gone deluxe... though I suppose some people enjoy the aftermarket feel more

I ordered Titanium and no stock at all. Anyway, get to drive old car for 3 more months... haha
After one week driving,my new ride.still can't accept road noise, when traveling on the harsh roads on the BKE,PIE,SLE. When raining the noise is very loud inside the cabin . Anyone has the same feeling as me? My ex Toyota altis better than this sound insulation . Change what tyre can solve the road noise , anyone can share ?
�
Maybe you could do body insulation like some of the other guys here have.
U can find the ans in the NCAP video I posted few pages back.
I've seen the video before you posted it. It seems to have 2 bags poping from the side. Typically 6 bags would mean front and back but brochure states 4. Hence my question.
Besides, the video is for the euro spec. Trims are known to differ region to region.
Any kind bros/sis is pretty sure that the local deluxe trim side airbags covers both front and back rows?
Thanks!

does it have the same fuel efficient if i change the tire to 205/50/R16 load speed index: 87V?
�
What does a load speed index represent here?
�
The ratio is too far off! Your speed will read 100km/h, and actual speed will be less than 90km/h.�
�
Use this calculator to check what is the tire size suitable to your existing setup.�
So when changing tyre, should stick to the same profile as stock toyo tyres? Did you change yours? If you didn't, how are the stock toyo tyres? Slippery on wet road?
�
Yes, still to the nearest profile as much as possible. Else your actual speed will be different from your speedo. Use this calculator to check�
BTW, I'm on stock toyo. Still need (almost 800km) and its not slippery.�
That's why I stick to japan...SSR from stamford not bad....

Agreed. Sometimes Stamford tyres have stock clearance...I once saw a set of 18" Rays MIJ going for 250 a piece. That's a steal.

Hi, Please recommend which place to do insulation. Thanks.
shall we use back the same reading on our stock tire of 205/60 for Enkei 17" rims?

I booked on 15-Aug. Also soul red deluxe sedan. I also traded in my old car. All factors are the same.
But I didn't get to collect on 7th Nov. I sms my SE in early November and he said confirmed my car has not arrived. I don't understand how they work or the company queue policy.

Yes, since you paid money, he has received his commission you should not wait 3 weeks. Did he say when will he register your car? If it's registered already it's unreasonable to let you wait 3 weeks to collection.
For my SE he asked me to drop cheque on 11th Nov and it will be registered on 11th. But he cannot promise the collection date. I am not so fussy to insist that there must be minimum gap between registration and collection but cannot be 1 week.
shall we use back the same reading on our stock tire of 205/60 for Enkei 17" rims?
