The Mazda 3 thread

[NR8]

Try Check's on Cipero Street or Marud and Faiz in Marabella. If that fails it might cost you the same or even cheaper to skybox/seabox it in.

[dredman1]

Forgot to mention I already checked Faiz, but they also had none.

Will call the other 2 in the morning. Tks

[dredman1]

No luck with the OEM Mazda part at any of the places mentioned above

Will check a couple other places and if nothing, then make a decision to buy online and ship in. The weight of the parts (2 of them) is what worrying me though.

If anyone comes across the OEM cradle arm anywhere by chance let me know pls.

[NR8]

You can use http://www.seaboxtt.com/ to get an estimate on ocean freight. Would be cheaper than skybox.

[dredman1]

Tks again.
Will check out that link.

[NR8]

No probs. Let us know if you get through. Good info to have when ours need changing.

[Rainman]

Federal on Cipero street might have.

[dredman1]

Federal on Cipero street might have.

Called them first, but they only have aftermarket and don't know when next they would get OEM.

I remember where you said you got your OEM parts there before.

had gotten cradle arms from SS last year. didnt have seabox yet and it was costing close to their price after shipping and duties.

I got the AC filter changed this weekend. Its a 2007 roro. Had to pull down the power/fuse box under the dash pocket (did not remove pocket), unclip the connectors, remove a metal bracket then access the filters. It was a very tight space to work with and not easy as the newer models.

Ryan from Ryotech did mines if anyone else want to give him some extra hard work lol

I did mine myself and wanted to burn the car down because of how difficult it was.

On another note, where is ryotech? Does he troubleshoot AC systems?

[originalbling]

^^ Powerseller in the forums. located in claxton bay

not sure if he does AC servicing.

Clean yuh throttle body and iac valve

[Big Z]

Decarbonize the engine as well, before it gets too old and unable to be done. On older cars, its the carbon that seals the pistons and valves.

[pimp]

serviced the throttle body but not the IAC valve...
any more info on decarbonising the engine?

[NR8]

Big Z can guide you accordingly. I was getting the same symptoms as you on our Mazda 3 and was really surprised to see all alleviated after doing an injector servicing and decarbonization by him.

[pimp]

tanx bro, wil definitely chek dat out...

Hey good afternoon fellas anyone know where I can get coil overs for the 1st or the 2nd Gen mazda 3

Hey good afternoon fellas anyone know where I can get coil overs for the 1st or the 2nd Gen mazda 3

What's your budget? You can get a cheap set for as low as $375USD, although I don't recommend them since they're not rebuildable and are generally poor (I won't even name the brand), or a set of KW Coilovers which start at around $1700USD. Personally, I recommend BC Coilovers because I use them and they are incredible (cost $7200TT-$7800TT landed). I'll connect you with my Florida contact at BC if you want to bring it in yourself, but got a local connect too. D2 is another "Ok" alternative that's reasonably priced, but I had a bad experience that turned me against the brand. D2, KSport & BC are all available locally. Feel free to PM me if you need more info man.

Yup. That price is for AirREX or KSport? You need new rear lower control arms for air ride too. Included with some of the kits tho. I'll PM you.

Just got a 2009 mazda axela. Nice car.

Can the multi information display screen be changed from japanese to english?

[kdat]

No, not unless u change the entire unit. I got a used one from eBay UK for less than $500 TTD landed. Changed it out myself.

Try one of the businesses mentioned in the first post of this page by NR8. If that fails, call 662-0374 and/or 645-9800. You could also try SS.
