    Just wanted to rant it off... went back to leng kee to check on the in car cam given by TEK, the camera hung on many instances, went in and they say they'll check come our 30 mins later say they did a hard reset so should be ok now.

    I wanted to test and asked how to do a hard reset and I'll try on my own, he say very hard to do one, doubt you can perform the reset yourself.... its just inserting a pin on the side of the camera.....

    On the same day, the camera hung again..... can I ask for a new set? [bounce1]

    It's not an expensive mod... Just go for it! But i gotta warn u A frame is not easy to install due to the limited space.

    And later i will post some photos how it will look like. Because i find that it will not be one's liking if the car colour is not dark (example red/white) in which u will see "black lines".

    Btw I bought the full set they named it as 6D.

    Thanks bro,

    Will order it today, did you buy from Taobao or Diagou?

    How long is the shipping?

    My ride is black so these will fit right in my ride..

    After the warranty? I will not go back for 20K servicing onwards.� [wave]

    Bro does yours come with 3+2 warranty?

    If yes the T&C fineprint for the +2 is usually to have all preventive maintenance and repair back at AD.

    Just sharing, not a nice feeling to be held hostage by AD just so that the warranty is valid.

    I bought from Daigou and shipping about 2 weeks.

    Btw i suggest u not to rush. Let me show u some pix later. Anyway if u order now, it will take quite some time considering Chinese New Year will be a long holiday there. Not unless it can catch shipment with this week. U canbtry though. ;)

    Sure can ask for another set lor. Obviously camera faulty.
    Mine have different issues. Installed the camera by them, then 2 weeks later, no power going to the camera. Tested with external batt no problem. I wonder wiring also cannot install properly???? I will go ask them check during my 5K servicing.

    Sad to say.... I am one of those cai tao held hostage with 3+2. I trying to see if I should just hack care after my free servicing (up to 60k or 3yrs), then just go outside service. Really shouldn't take up the additional 2yrs warranty by paying 2k more and subject to many many expensive servicing! Just save the 2k and subsequent servicing over charges. Feel better this way

    Hi there,

    Anyone who drives Mazda 3 (2014 model) knows if the side mirror has the reverse tilt-down function?

    The one where the side mirror will tilt down when the reverse gear is engaged so that you can see the side more clearly.

    Should be able to select the left or right mirrors.

    Thanks.

    Hi Guys, just a question. My average mileage on the meter is 9L/100KM.

    During 1k servicing highlight to the guy he say normal for 1.5.

    But then he still reset the meter for me. After 3 days reading back to 9L/100KM.

    80% city, 20% highway driving. Rpm usually rev to 2.2 let it auto change gear.

    Is this normal? Im just afraid there's problem with the engine etc instead of the meter thus the high FC.

    Would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance mates!

    Strange if your car is stock... unless for every drive trips, there are countless traffic lights every 100ms and you had to start stop at every single of them every trip...

    even if I rev to 3K+, and start stop at traffic lights considerably in city driving, 8.5L/100KM is the max,

    and average out to 7.xL/100KM if including the 20% HW...

    If 50% HW, average would go down to 6-7L/100KM...

    Cheer up bro, TEK offers�it as a top up option, while other AD make it standard package for any new purchase.

    If you have up to 60k free servicing, no harm sticking to it. Since it is sunk cost, you have the flexibility.

    It is always said AD offers peace of mind, but at a price.

    Hi guys,

    Checking if anyone lowered their m3 already? I'm thinking of getting eibach lowering springs.. Any recommendations?

    I posted some pics of my Mz3 after Eibach Pro-Kit installation last week. You can check it out.

    You can go no wrong with Eibach. Their springs are a bit expensive, but are well built and have been through extensive testing. I assume you will get the springs from Lyonel?

    Other springs that you can consider are H&R and Tein H-Tech. They should be around the Eibach ballpark price.

    Bro, i changed mine. I encourage you to change yours too. Got a shock of my life when Infratint guy tore away my existing film at my request to measure the IR rejection rate and its only 25%. Am using a 80%+ film now and driving under the hot sun is not a scorching hot as before.


    Go to Autotrend TPY better. They install with a relay at no additional cost.

    Hi bro, is ur package the infratint platinum package? Is it possible to take a pic of the side view of ur car? Just want to see if the sides are dark enough for my preference..
  • 02 February 2016 - 01:35 PM
    Runforyourlife

    guys, i'm assuming your side mirrors autofold when the car is off right?

    the increase in interest rate now presents an issue with the loan for 2.0 mz3. hope it doesn't go north anymore, its 2.78, some at 2.88 liao

    I rememer there was a discussion about the 'special' oil Mazda is using and thats why we can't go to 3rd party workshop. PHUI! [bounce1]

    Ya, me thought special magic oil too... Like that i can buy the original oil filter and go change outside?
    But will they know how and where ? Cos there is floor plate at the bottom of the babe.

    Yup its the plat package. Its not dark at all so i am sure it wont be for you. I intend to overlay with a dark film.

    Btw previous jump of interest from 2.28 to 2.88 was due to coe drop. Let's see will interest shoot up again or not.

    think tek still 2.78%...........

    I just called TEK to book my 5k servicing and new time slot as they have night servicing on for 5K (if I heard it correctly).

    Timing is 5pm to 8pm (Mon to Fri) without any parts or oil change (oil change only at 10k, information given by frontdesk lady)

    Anyone know how to install a child seat to the back seat?

    I tried to pull the safety belt all the way out but i does not lock up like other cars. So my child seat now is not tightly secured.

    Please advise. Thanks.

    I just pull thru and left it. Not very loose but its not locked up. I tot it only locks up upon sudden jerk? Does your child seat have the additonal strap at the top? Mine has and can be secured to some anchor points on 'dashboard' behind the seat if needed.

    Those who bot the 2.0L Mz3 last 2 weeks at $116K with $50K rebate will effectively pay only $106K for the car� :o� about same price as 1.5L...

    But doesn't matter la. Eventually Coe rises back to normal and such paper loss is insignificant.

    Nothing sway about it.

    The thing is u get to enjoy the car for few mths. Car is a depreciating asset. So don't worry so much la. You enjoy e car few mths more than e others whom got it cheaper. Have to factor those cost + happiness lei.

    things that you said doesnt make sense le, you are not really enjoy the car few "more" months than the others because at the end of the day the coe for both your car and cheaper car are still equal to 10 years.

    By buying your car earlier you are paying more and your car is older.

    can you imagine paying lower price for Mazda 3 2.0 than 1.5

    only happen in SG and our wonderful COE system :)

    If u like that think I cannot help u Le. Haha. I would view the extra cost as intangible benefits gained earlier. Yes ten year breakdown is e same but hor, if u compare the 10 years now and ten years 10 years ago also different.

    Thks for encouragement bro. End of the day its still my own judgement, nothing to blame. Just that a series of things happen on such an exp new car made me very bek chek. I decide not to take too much heart on the car any more.

    You made the correct judgement based on limited information at that point in time.

    I've checked with my se and I'm going in this round. But will only pay e balance in March, they can keep it for me. But I wanna know the rebate level, price, freebies, insurance cost, mz3 1.5 vs 2.0 servicing cost diff before deciding.

    I found out the reason and the next will sure rise. But it'll still drop a few rounds later maybe in April.

    Nothing is for sure. Just make sure you can afford it. Good luck!

    I am sure after thus few round, tek sure put rebate level very low.

    For cat b probably not. Next one sure rise cos I got to know the reason of the drop. Few factors combined, but of course we never know. See rebate level of Honda and tek first...

    Usually cat b cars for these fly off the shelf.

    There are plus and minus for this. For some of us who like to mod and who got our 1.5L Mz3 a few months ago, it's sort of a blessing in disguise� [laugh]. There are so many engine mods available for 2.0L Mz3. One can easily push it close to 200 hp. I can't imagine how much money we could've spent on engine mods with 2.0L Mz3 on top of the exterior mods.�

    Anyway, if you have a trade-in car, they would value it lower when the COE is low. The trade-in value sort of go hand in hand with the COE value.

    Finally received my M3D today and brought my family for a joy ride. So far did about 70km at FC of 10.5L/100KM and the number was steadily reducing. Will be driving to work tomorrow and see how it goes. Trying to keep my foot light but when moving off from a red light, rev can easily hit 3k for one gear, pls tell me this is normal.

    I remember in this forum, someone said start engine should wait for blue light to disappear before moving off. Strangely i did not see any blue light when i first start the engine. Hmm....

    It is also sad that M3D does not have auto lock door when moving off function as my wife was highlighting just now.

    Over all, this 70km drive has been pleasant so far. Thanks bros!!

    Enjoy the ride, bro.

    Do you see the blue engine light in the morning when you start the engine? It should light up if your engine has not run for 5-6 hours. You can drive off slowly when the rpm drops to 1k.

    Lol... if that's the case then it's an extremely good time to buy a new car now.
