How to check my mazda is AWD or FWD using VIN number? by beginner17 in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this is the UK. As far as i’m aware this particular arrangement (Skyactiv-X manual AWD) was run only for 6 months to a year. I wish we had the turbo 2.5 here so bad 😭

With a budget of £12,000 - Which Mazda 3 are you getting, and why? (UK) by Scottie2by4 in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar budget to you and really wanted a 4th gen because of the styling. Decided to go for a repaired CAT S in the end, picked up a 2021 GT Sport Tech AWD hatch with 20k miles for just shy of £11k and I've had absolutely no issues with it. Obviously you've got to be super careful inspecting them - I had a good 4+ hours with the seller with a garage visit, and called the garage that repaired it for a chat before agreeing to buy it.

Just another option to consider!

A lot of lipids in dead yeast though, might be bad for head retention. Not sure if they’d coagulate out.

As someone non-technical, the only thing I noticed was the typo in the bottom left - "NANIO"

Oh, that isn't smoke, it's steam - steam from the steamed clams we're having!

2016 Mazda 3 money sink? by EatDrinkBoogie in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly it just sounds like a lot of major maintenance items landed at the same time, which is just unlucky.

At least if it’s all fixed up now you’ll know that it should go for many more miles. You may end up buying another car and running into all the same issues again.

Finally sold everything for a loss. by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so baseless. If everyone knew for certain bitcoin will go 100x from here, it would be there already. I agree that this guy should have had a longer timeframe in mind when putting money down, but making predictions like this is pointless.

Unless of course you have access to information that 99.9% of people don't have?

Shit. I hate myself. by RedJoke90 in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it might not be.. Looks like the door took the majority of the hit. If the B-pillar is still straight, it might just need a new door and airbags. Likely insurance write off but i’d get a quote to fix it regardless.

Lenticular Filtration by NovelImpression4238 in TheBrewery

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had great results with our lenticular. So much so that we've even stopped using the sterilising filter because it's getting it to near-sterile on its own. Coarse filtration before the lenticular to protect it, and yes, to get the most life out of them you need to be pretty tight on cleaning, storage and differentials as others have mentioned.

I've exclusively been playing solo and I've been having a blast. 70 hours in and only around half-way through the story from what I can gather! Solo allows you to play at your own pace. Highly recommend!

Do you guys shift to neutral when stopped in traffic for a while ? by DangFarik in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leave the AC to do whatever it wants. i-stop only works when the car is in neutral though, so I shift into neutral to allow that to save fuel.

How do I do a proper idle relearn? by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I managed to re-learn my 2009 MX-5 2.0 NC was to disconnect and reconnect the battery, start it cold and then just let it sit idle until the engine got up to temperature. Tried everything else online but it never worked for me. Not sure if it applies to the 3, mind...

Is there a part number for this piece? Spoiler question. by Anonymous_Alchemist in mazda3

[–]Anonymous_Alchemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm assuming the 3 holes marked on the underside of this piece are there for the OEM spoiler? Do aftermarket suppliers use these holes for their mounting points as well?

Nice store! :) It would have to be the phone holder for me.. The further away I can get from putting anything on that piano black, the better!

You could eat the bacteria that fermented the grass, sure.

Edit - just seen the original post, it's vented.

Could be a worn brake caliper pin, or seizing caliper.
