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 ?
Toyo or Michelin....just on hi fi louder abit to cover the noise.....
215 mm the tire and rim will be nice....205 mm tire looks bulge out....yucks! No inaccuracy dun worry....60 to 50 series its ok.
shall we use back the same reading on our stock tire of 205/60 for Enkei 17" rims?
To avoid an inaccuracy to our speedometer
Cannot....17" step up, so 50 series compensate....just nice...avoid 45 series.....

Why avoid 45 series for 17"? Which tire brand would you recommend?

My frd use 45 series coz it's more common and cheaper....50 series more rare must order...very hard ride and heavier tires! Can feel it when u turning the steering wheel!

The Toyo PROXES T1-R is a new generation V-shape UHP tyre designed exclusively for sport sedans and coupes and that meets the demand for high-speed stablilty and excellent handling under dry and wet conditions, while retaining low noise and optimum driving comfort. This new tyre takes advantage of modern design technology and provides stable steering response and traction thanks to the improved tread pattern design, resulting in superb braking performance as well as improved wear resistance.

Hi, Please recommend which place to do insulation. Thanks.

I don't own a Mazda3 nor have i done insulation, but I think some did it at Autobacs, not sure where else to do. Hopefully someone here who done it can recommend one for you.
Looking at Toyo Proxes T1R 215/50 R17 91Y; any review

The SkyActiv chassis is lightened & stiffened. Mazda stripped it down to help come up w/ an amazingly fun & efficient car. Some have tried adding sound deadening....bad idea....adds a lot of weight. A fellow Mown3r who conservatively dropped his 3 on springs never worried about rubbing prior to Dynamat installation...not the case after.:( Tyre swap still better.

Added sprung weight may not have as much effect as unsprung rotational weight like on wheels & crank pulleys, but it definitely will affect FC.
I've grown accustomed to the noises & to me, they actually add to the feel & sensory connectedness of the drive.....just me.:)

On stock rims? Any intention to change to 17"?
Yap. Stock.
What type of petrol you guys used? 98, 95 or 92?
You can download the specs from mazda 3 singapore website...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!

Not sure whether the stock tire are Toyo NanoEnergy 3 with spec as below.

Thanks AhKn, will check
agreed with you!!! push SE to work for us and hearsay, they will only collect their comm aft handing over the car to us.
Will do that tomorrow, hope I'll have good news on car collection!
Change no regret....its like wearing light track shoe to run than the army boots!

What you say make sense, but very poisonous! HahHa
Thanks EddHooi, noted. Will remember to stick to the tyre profileYes, 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.
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.
Never said when he'll register for me. All I got when I asked on Friday when can I collect my car is "will let you know on Monday". I tried asking again today and no reply from him, sigh. Exactly, the gap between down payment and collection shouldn't be more than 1 week, that's why I'm upset.
Do you think this is good?

Sis Momoechan, totally understand your feeling. I asked him too but he said the whole team busy preparing for roadshow at expo. This could be the reason why he did not reply to SMSes. They are very practical people.
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?
I didn't change my tyres. All along, I have been planning to upsize my rims to 18". The wheels are here. I am waiting for the tyres (225/45/18) to arrive. It's a bit rare. Most shops have 225/40/18. So stay tuned hehe.

Bro Fantastic_Duck, I also gave him benefit of the doubt because of the big Car show but then, he replied my messages yesterday morning about retention of license plate, and conveniently left out answering me on delivery date. Must be swamped by customers at the expo I guess. I'll just hound him today. Being optimistic about collection for this week although it's a short week with tomorrow being Deepavali and Trans Eurokars having D&D for their staff this Friday so they're closed from the afternoon or something.......

Regarding in-car vacuum, ours is from Rowenta. It's FOC when we bought the cordless vacuum cleaner.

Your speedo reading will be damn off if you just change the aspect ratio of the tire without any change in tire size or width.
Uh? Dont change the aspect ratio. Keep to stock
Yes, bro AhKn. Don't change the aspect ratio. The 60 profile tyre means that your tyre side wall thickness is 60 mm. If you switch to 45 mm, your tyre side wall will be 15 mm smaller. This is way off the stock.
You can reduce the profile when you upsize your rims. A good tyre shop can advise you on which wheel and tyre size to use usually. Consult with them before changing your wheels or tyres.
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?
�
�
Just to share a little bit of engineering logic.... as well as input from Tyre company.�
�
with better grip, it will result in the car to use more energy to move the tires...hence more energy = uses more fuel hence not so good FC.
�
�
Better grip also result in more rubber contact to the road = more noise generated.
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.
�
Mazda cars do not have the feature of auto lock when moving off. Child safety locks on rear door are mandatory. All cars will need to be fitted with one before they can be sold.
Although the Mazda3 already suffers from relatively high interior noise levels, I would say most would recommend performance tyres for it... such a nimble chassis deserves such.
Think color of choice plays a big part...I also got in a mth. Pearl white isnt that popular I guess
Agree with you colour of choice is very important.
Mine waited for 3 mths because no stock and the shipment will only come abt 2-3 mths after downpayment.
Anyway got my car now, after a long 3 mths wait.

Yes, of course!
Better grip means wider tires and will increase rolling resistance.
With a lower profile, will equate to more noise and also a more bumpy ride.

If from 60 u change to 45 without compensating with a bigger rim,
1, u will have a big gap between wheel arch and the tires.
2, when your speedo show 100km/h, your actual speed will only be 90 or less.
Use the tire calculator to check... I posted the link many time already.
Btw, tire shops will only recommend what stock they have. Do your homework before going to them.

Anyway just to assist you in your decision. When you change from stock to 45, you will get a 10% diff in speedo reading approximately. See pic.

It's true that upon upsizing or downsizing, 1 should compute to retain as close to stock outer tire diameter.Yes, bro AhKn. Don't change the aspect ratio. The 60 profile tyre means that your tyre side wall thickness is 60 mm. If you switch to 45 mm, your tyre side wall will be 15 mm smaller. This is way off the stock.
You can reduce the profile when you upsize your rims. A good tyre shop can advise you on which wheel and tyre size to use usually. Consult with them before changing your wheels or tyres.
Pardon my respectful correction, but tire profile 60,55,50,45,etc aren't direct mm sidewall heights. They are percentages of tire width.
Ex. 205/50
sidewall ht= 205x50%=102.5mm

It's not that critical if the aspect ratio is different from original. Speedos themselves are not accurate and usually show approx 5-10% error, usually reading higher than actual.
Also not all tires widths are the same. A 225 vs a 225 from another brand is NOT the same. Even if the same brand it can also differ. I have never measured the aspect ratio, but I assume as with the widths it can also differ from brand to brand and model to model. So bottomline is don't get too caught up with all this. Just make sure that the front pair or rear pairs are identical.

I have swapped my interior light bulbs with Philips LED 6000K color. The Philips festoon bulb is 31 mm in length. It fits in quite nicely. You need to use a little bit of force to fit the bulb into the groove of the fitting. The copper fitting is flexible. It took me 30 min to change the dome lights, license plate lights and reverse lights to LED. I will post some pics of my car tomorrow :)

hahaa.... you are not wrong.�

Else i can't see why a smaller diameter covering lesser distance can save fuel! Anyway mileage on the meter vs actual distance traveled will be different.
�
True...also, logically, once its wider, more contact, better grip, more friction, how to consume less.

Lol... I guess the point is to not worry too much about FC if you want to zheng your car with new shoes. Yes, you may save a bit of fuel in long run with stock rims and such. You have spent so much money upsizing the rims, you should feel good about it and enjoy driving it.

Bigger diameter means cover more distance for the same rotation. Indirectly saves fuel... Haha

But with a smaller diameter, u will be thinking that u r getting the same mileage but in actual fact, the actual distance is lesser.

Sis Momoechan, I just dropped the cheque today. Lets hope for the best.
I thought I was alone in thinking that it looks nice. I like the look, but must impt you must like it, its not what we think but what you think.

Bro Fantastic_Duck, I have a feeling you'll be collecting your ride earlier than me even though I dropped in my cheque earlier. SE called me�on Monday afternoon�and told me he had sent in my ride for collection on 18 Nov about 2 weeks ago *faint*! if that's the case then I shouldn't have banked in the cheque so early! I wouldn't have mind submitting the cheque this week and it'll only be�a 1 week difference between submitting the cheque and collecting the car.The issue isn't collecting next week but the waiting time from money paid and collecting the car, sigh. I guess he's a conservative guy who wants to make sure he over delivers rather than under delivering, so no choice, I've to wait till next week. Anyway, we should be getting our cars next week so all the best to us!
Really meh.. haha.. perhaps I will fix it up n drive for a week to c if I really like it. It feels abit out of place n make the car less sleek.
I use car cover.....so fin not so important....

The shop got limited Mazda rims....I won't recommend...he always menses....along Thomson rd next to Sipore Post.....unless u want 18" then he got more varieties...
oh, if�we do change, will most likely only be 17" rims. Any other shops to recommend?
Maybe try Cheng Jin at�https://www.facebook...ntrading?_rdr=p

Was told the boss owns a white Mz3 as well and he chaged his to 18" rims.
�
He seem to have a lot of various brands and design which he communicates with his supplier via whatsapp. And he presentes them to you via photos. not sure if he is good but heard his been there for the longest time. Might try dropby to see if his servise is good.
Rim setup:Just a teaser. Will post better pics with better lighting maybe tomorrow.
Don't look at the wheel gap lol. It's atrocious. Need to lower the car a bit.
Gloss black RX-8 rims
18�8 offset 50
Tyres:
225/45/18 Nexen N5000 Plus
Other mods:
Blacked out grill trim and window belts
Dome lights, reverse lights and license plate lights LED conversion
It's still a work in progress. I gotta hold back a bit in modding. Otherwise my CFO is going to kill me.

Exactly right 
U are not wrong.
.
But with a smaller diameter, u will be thinking that u r getting the same mileage but in actual fact, the actual distance is lesser.
Anyway if mod car don't bother much on fc. Look and performance will be more important.

If you're thinking springs...here are the good 1s:
Mildest drop:
Euro Mazda OE German Eibach
4100-77-974
Next: 25mmF/33mmR
US Eibach Springs 5557.140
30mmF/35mmR
Tein HTech SKMA8-G1B00
RSR-M140D:30-35mm linear
30mmF/45mmR
H&R 28821-1
Or go coilovers. Tein, RSR or Taiwanese BC,D2,etc...
Thanks Minsanity. I am leaning more towards the Tein because of the almost identical spring rate to the stock.
I have never used Tein products before, so I don't know about the quality of the build. I had Eibach Pro-Kit in my Ford Focus before and I loved it. Eibach springs are more expensive than other makes from what I have checked here.
Anyone keep getting "communication error... Please try again later" message when you try to use Navigation search or traffic info ??
(Wifi is connected properly leh...it worked for 1 day and the next day the error appear with no changes)

I saw on mazda website this feature is only FOC for 60 days. Did your FOC period finished already? BTW the below is extracted from mazda website (registration required). Seems like Live Traffic in SGP is not supported.

The services are available for the following countries:
Local Search: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Philippines
Live Traffic: Malaysia, Thailand
Live Weather Information: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Philippines

Tein HTechs are so close to stock. 3 of my buddies are on them. 2sedans & a hatch. The love is unanimous.:)Thanks Minsanity. I am leaning more towards the Tein because of the almost identical spring rate to the stock.
