Need help...can i mix 95 (topup in singapore and left with half tank aft traveling back frm Pagoh) with 97 (from Malaysia shell) frm Malaysia shell station.
Why 97? Due to all 95 pump spoil...strange huh...
do we need to shift to neutral when applying Istop (monitor tell me to do so)
�
No problem with mixing. I go to Malaysia often. So most of the time I fill with 97. But where V-Power Racing is available, I would fill with that.
�
Most PETRONAS stations along the highway stock only 95. So selecting Shell will give you more options.
Why can't pump 95? Then it is ok to mix 95 with V power??
�
Outside�of JB you can pump 95. No problem.
Share some more pic of the twin exhaust.
Wow... Swee lah! Your car is now�officially the most-modded car in the thread here. heh. Twin-exhaust looks damm cool!
I installed the front n back camera, tested and managed to capture the back too if senses motion. Hope it helps! Do remember to install an external battery pack so battery can last and monitor during parking ;)
Care to share which battery pack you are using? I'm using Anypower T Plus Power (15600mAH). But even with such high capacity, it can only last 1 overnight of recording. Perhaps its partially�due to my carpark facing hdb blk and have rather high traffic of human and vehicle, coupled with rain these days thus the recording is quite heavy even at timings like 3, 4am.
Naise! Are those tips only or a full end pipe?
If it's a full lta approved exhaust system I'm gonna get it man. Told myself to leave this car stock but I think it's in my blood. Can't stop thinking of it. :/
These twin exhaust tips are like those on Amy Yip. I.e. Expensive but enhanced to serve no purpose other than looks.
They are welded to the body of the car but the original exhaust is untouched. They are cosmetic only. Those who want to know the shop name feel free to drop me pm, I will be most glad to share.
Hi,�

I am considering of installing another 12v socket underneath the cd player.�
Could any one recommend any reliable workshop that can do it nicely.�

Thanks in advance.�

mazda 3 paint v thin. a little scratch can see metal. thks anyway :)
It's perfectly fine o mix different octane patrols and even different Brand�s of fuel. The difference between 95' 98 and v-power is the addictive so used. The power companies also do do barter trade of their petrol so no harm done.

Actually jus the exhaust head well over existing exhaust is ok let. I did Tt for my mz2 hahh look big only
Sharing new 18"s on my ride. Love them!
Steady pom pi pi any impact on the acceleration? Heavier? Harder to pull off?

Frankly other than bit stiffer on steering, and hashier ride, i dont find much diff on pull off and acceleration. In fact i thought it felt faster. Haa.. I gotten the OZ leggera with Mich PSS 5 rubber just in case any interested.Actually jus the exhaust head well over existing exhaust is ok let. I did Tt for my mz2 hahh look big only

I using carecell, got all from JDM. Wow! Urs is very high capacity!!
Ya, i guess ur dashcam is working non stop unless u park at a less crowded spot e.g. Higher storeys of the multi storey carpark ;)
Two questions
�
1) Anyone turn on the fog lights? I usually switch it off and have the headlight as auto. Wondering any benefit to turn on the fog lights
�
2) Sometimes I forgot where I park my car in multi storey carpark. My old car has an alarm system to help me locate the car. Anyone has any idea if Mazda 3 has similar feature to help locate car?
�
Thanks.

Mazda 3 has no stock alarm. If you need that, you'll need to install aftermarket alarm to help you locate your car

Anyone know what can we install LTA approved twin exhuast? Or can we install the original 2.0L M3 exhuast? Will�that infringed with LTA rules? Thks.

Having twin exhaust will reduce the exhaust back pressure as compared to one exhaust and increase power + improve fuel consumption. Right? �

looks bad. no wonder you want to respray. From the picture hard to tell. If your condition is not like mine which the paint came out i think can polish the scratch away. Or you can try peirce glass coating for his advice. There is number on their fb. Very nice ppl and they can advice you what they can do. Only thing is the locate in thomson area.
Woah, looks like a re-spray is needed.

You are not supposed to install the 2.0L Mz 3 exhaust of yours is the 1.5L version but if looks can't tell then go ahead.

Would like to upsize too, but I've read that it can affect your suspensions in the longer run, and one has to slow down alot going over humps.
It seem like I need to book my 1k servicing soon.
Wah!!! So fast almost 1k!

I have seen 19" fitting really well on M3 online, but I thk it might be overkill for 1.5l, or you might need a super lightweight rim.

Bro just a heads up u need to wait about 2 weeks upon booking. Eurokars overloaded cnnt cope with servicing capacity. Better call for booking asap man
Bro I am also like you. Promised my Mrs that I will leave this ride as stock. Now waiting for my eibach springs to arrive. Looking at exhaust then other mods.
But quite lucky cos don't have much legal aftermarket parts for mz3. But still I'm always on the lookout for an exhaust system. Guess for now i'll just stay stock for awhile. Once start cnnt stop alrdy. Haha.

In fact I'm loving the 'pipeless'�design. My�previous ride Latio has a problem with low exhaust and will kenna those kerb/wheel stopper at parking lots. Got once met with a minor accident someone kissed me from behind and that car also impacted my exhaust pipe. Ended up the whole exhaust assembly�came loose... After repair is ok but after a few years you can start to hear metal squeaking sound when you go over hump or uneven surfaces. damm sian one.�
Good morning all!
Good morning! So you are an early bird as well! heh.
BTW guys I just managed to clock 4.7l/km last night after refill and went home via CTE & PIE so its like 98% highway. haha. really fantastic FC the car gives!
Last checked with ST Powered and Garage R no LTA approved exhaust for Mz3 and Mz2.

I'm not too sure but I think the rational is to ensure the gearbox cycle thru its range of gears and not get stuck to any gear for extended period.

Bro, maybe since its near the bottom of the car, can try get the touch up paint from mazda and get your professional groomer to apply polish and buff for you.

Don't expect today book, tomorrow can go.
Just think by when u can hit 1000km and do an advance booking. If 40km per day and you have already clocked 500+km, 10 days later u will be ard 1000km already.

The wait line is not that bad if you are able to go at odder hours. Most of the earliest time slots are usually taken up cos people would prefer to drop off their car before heading to work. I had originally gotten a queue of barely a week.

To my fellow M3 owners.. Just sharing an incident .. I had a car cam 2 channels installed about 3 Mths ago when I collected my ride.. Didn't get an external batt like car cell cos the cam had auto cut off..yesterday I realised istop wasn't working properly ... Today I went for my 5k servicing and Guess what.. The car batt needed to be changed cos going to CMI Liao.. And yes most of your doubts can be clarified Here..they wanted to charge me for the new batt ( void warranty)..haha and so I used my silver tongue to bargain my way out to get a free replacement.. I'm not sure if getting the cam linked to the external batt will help prevent such issues though..

The battery should not be affected if there is an external power source as it does not tap into the car batt anymore once the engine is off.

Me too, I bought front and back cam plus extra battery from Wow gadgets during Sitex over the weekend. Installation done by their Authorised installer yesterday and they hit the battery pack in the compartment between driver and passenger seat. Very neat but hope won't have problem when changing the battery.

Luckily you managed to persuade them to change a new batt for u FOC!

Just curious... did u use any devices like power magic or discharge prevention device to prevent your car batt from going flat? connecting 2 cam to your car batt is rather taxing on the batt... I thought it will be better to connect rear cam to ACC and only front cam to car batt cos if you reverse park, normally rear cam won't capture anything impt so its a waste of battery juice during parking. it's also impt to see how much you drive on the road everyday so you won't end up frequently�discharging your car batt to a level which is too low for batt life.

I set the cut off to 12v so if the batt falls below 12 it will auto cut off .. Still it spoils the battery so I'm gonna get an external batt

Yeah I argued that the SE told me to get it installed myself without prempting me about battery issues.. I got the thinkware f750 was supposed to have some auto cut off function .. I set it at 12V .. I drive Everyday about 50km.. Just happen I didn't drive for a day and it happened.. So when they told me about the batt failure I asked them for a solution .. But they refused to commit this time round I think they smart also.. So I asked a leading question like if I used external batt for cam will it prevent.. The guy replied yes then Tarik back say don't recommend parking mode etc.. New batt I noticed that the charging of the ieloop bar become very much faster than before.. So I guess the cam really drained the batt
buy & hook in a battery discharge prevention device like this LUKAS LK290:
http://m.ebay.ph/itm...312?_mwBanner=1
It can prevent the batt discharge by blocking power to the dash cam if the voltage drops below a configured value or if the configured time has elapsed.:)
My new rims :-)...
Very nice, 18"?
I kept it outside coz less heat and easy to change if spoil....
Actually, that's what hubby said too, about changing when spoilt but I guess if we go back to the installer again, should be ok since they it for us? But you're right about heating...hmm....
On stock rims and tyre.

A good read about batt discharge prevention... the voltage you set it depedant on the temperature as well...

1 more point to note is that our Q85 battery is supposed to have better resistance to deep cycling so the above article is meant more for those normal lead acid battery which deep cycling will shorten its life... But as what Isaac is experiencing, I think frequent deep cycling of Q85 might also shorten its life. but it really depends on your usage/driving pattern. Hard to guage how deep the batt has cycled.

I'm thinking of getting a battery monitor to keep an eye on the battery power. It should not deteriorate.
We were told yesterday by the installer for our dash cam that luckily we didn't buy the battery regulator because our car has iStop and every time it stops, the dash cam will stop recording, especially at traffic lights, and if really unlucky to be hit, won't have any recording to help as additional "witness", defeating the purpose of the dash cam.

I am using the dual cam and my set up is to only use the external batt. So far, managed to squeeze juice to monitor in parking mode overnight... This is the killer if using the car battery.
So far ok still (touch wood)... ... The external batt can last around 10-15 hrs (imagine the drain if i tap to the car batt. everyday...wow!)
So far has anyone had any issues with dash cams fitted with battery pack? Has it had any effect on the car battery or systems such as iStop and iELoop?
I'm thinking of getting a battery monitor to keep an eye on the battery power. It should not deteriorate.
So far no issue... Tapping solely on the battery pack. ;)

On another note..so far my thinkware works ok *finger crossed*... 400 bucks for a bloody battery is no joke..
OMG, I did that...will any happen
Just to share, I whacked (130-160+kmh) all the way too kl with my previous vios when odo reads only 700+km, and by the time I'm back for 1k service , odo read 1700+ and I had zero problem at all ... That was more than 10yrs ago.. so, don't worry lar.. nowadays machining prices is very accurate . Hehe...

Iroad seems to have this problem of draining battery despite having voltage cut off. One of the vezel chap also got it. Car dead after parking for hrs.

I'm using iRoad front and rear with a carecell batt pack. So far so good for three weeks. Battery pack flattened out for the first time this morning - car was parked for 17 hours since I didn't go out yesterday. Cam also switched off. The cam should only be drawing power from the batt pack and not from the car batt.

But, my colleague also travel a lot and he DIY installed his own cam and backup battery. Usually he will be away for a week. Drive on weekends, and away for a week again. So far no problem for his M3 though.
how long you take from Sin to KL with 130-160+km/h?

Had this set up for a little more than a week. Haven't went for the 1k serv yet. But gathering from forums is that if tap from external batt should be ok as the car batt hasn't been touch at all. ;)
Actually parking mode really drain the battery especially if the cam is facing a busy road during parking. It just run and run.....
swee! what is the offset and width of the rims?

what battery pack and car cam u using? and normally on avg how long do you spend on the road each day?
Using iroad v9 n carecell ext batt. The time spend on the road is little... Sometimes parked for a day or two....
I think to make things simple is that after a 30-40mins driving , u get a 10-15hrs juice to power the DUAL cam once parked... maybe 20 hrs for single cam... After that, the car is free to get vandalised or knocked hahahaha.....and the monkey will get away without getting caught on the dash cam. Lol!
Of course u can expand the number of ext batt to stretch further....

I think for iroad... Best setup is not to touch the car batt and use the parking mode if without any ext batt installed.
This morning, my cam motion sensor actually pick up the busy road traffic from afar and keeps on recording... i thought i have parked at a deserted no traffic spot .... Lol!

Thanks bro! It's 18x8, 225/45/18. After reading up and talking to peeps, i think this is the optimal. One could go 235/40/19, but tyres of this config are rare and will be costly.

I went for 1K servicing today and they didn't say anything so its alright as long as you don't�connect direct to car batt (or to be even more KS don't�touch the fuse box at all. just use the cig socket will do)...
�
For my case I DIY my own wiring from cig socket in arm rest�and place the�multi-socket adaptor on the area in front of gear knob... then connect batt pack and just lay it above the left footrest area. Then run my car cam wiring across the windscreen from above, then follow A-pillar and down to pedal area and hook up with batt pack. Too lazy to take pic so describe using words. lol
Before.. During 1k they hint me say may affect the batt... All was fine till yesterday lol ..
�
During my 1k they didn't say anything about the battery, they said it might cause "interference" to anything that uses wireless signals, like remote control and stuff. I didn't understand what he was saying though...

Tapping thru fuse box is the right way to do it isnt it?
Nv tap directly from batt. U will kill the camera on surge

Sorry for the confusion, just to be more detailed... if you are tapping from ACC or car batt, you need to tap from fuse box. That's the correct way to install. What I meant is that to completely deny AD to void warranty, just connect the cam or batt pack directly to cig socket. However for this method, it will mean the power source will be cut when you off engine. Therefore the batt pack needs to be able to charged fast enough and have a capacity large enough to power your cam for parking mode.
Vossen rims are sick. Looks great on the Mz 3.�
