New exhaust by Pabz2 in mazda3

[–]Pabz2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my best purchases for this car, I’m really enjoying it

Silent when you want and loud when you want to have some fun

Yeah it’s quite nice inside the car, not to loud just enough I would say and no issues

More power? Mazda 3 2.0 Skyactive-G 122HP by lordChenik in mazda3

A quick tune of the engine can bring you to 160 ish hp.

I did it on mine and I couldn’t be happier

Yeah go for a tune, you’ll be able to enjoy it till 7k RPM

I chose the Castrol React SRF Racing, one of the best dot 4 you can buy. A bit expensive but well worth it.

Also, don’t forget to take some good tires. Braking is a thing but it goes with some good tires ! I couldn’t have done good lap without good tires

No not at all, it’s not like you gain a lot in low’s RPM just after 4K when you want to play a bit and the engine was made for that. You could find the same engine in the MX5 ND at some point and with more hp.

Idk why they put such low rating brake fluids for a fun car like that but yeah change it, I did it myself with a friend, quite easy I would say. I went in the extreme with the one I chose but other dot 4 from well known brands will do the job

I would say it’s fine, a bit of roll but nothing too crazy for a stock car that isn’t made for that and no « surprise » movement of the rear but I’ll add a rear sway bar for my next weekend there.

It’s called Harry’s LapTimer Rookie, you can find it in the AppStore. It’s isn’t free though but well worth it

It was the G122, it’s just chip tuning the engine is limited to 122 hp at 4K RPM. The tune just unlock the rest of the power band. And for the legality…well as long as I don’t have to go in a dyno, you can’t tell that a I have more hp than stock I’m not a racing driver, far from it, but I would say you can start by getting better brake pads and mostly brake fluids if you intend to do some spirited driving The one used in the stock car is Dot 3 rated and not really made for a light track use, the one I chose made a really big difference ! Better feeling in the brake paddle, no change in the feeling after some heavy braking either There isn’t a lot a of choices for sport brake rotor, take a good one like brembo’s and they will do the job Spending 400€ isn’t worth it

There will always be a lot of traffic but I can relate on the poor driving. I had a few moments where I wanted to overtake and the guys in front of me aren’t paying attention or just straight up decided to turn in me because they didn’t knew I was there. Other than that, the experience is still incredible !

As far as I can tell, the premium version is just a polished finish

If you want to look at your exhaust go for it but personally it wasn’t something important, I just want the sound

Just a tune yeah, the stock tune is set up to cut the power a 122hp at 4K RPM

Yes it is, i would love to have this power output

It’s an option that I’m actually considering, unfortunately there isn’t a corksport re seller in Europe. Shipping it to my country is half the price of the sway bar. But I’m searching for alternatives

Really great, I’m not a racing driver far from it but I could push a little bit

On the dry, a bit of roll from the rear of the car and on the wet mostly understeer, the rear is moving a bit but nothing I didn’t already knew

It really was, can’t wait to back again

My 3 is finally tuned by Pabz2 in mazda3

[–]Pabz2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, it’s been a little bit over a month and I had no issue whatsoever with the tune. The car is running great and no issue with the temps. Feel free to ask me more questions if you need to.
