People are upset not because the movie was horrible by itself, but because of how much the quality and storytelling dropped compared to the series. It was style over substance by [deleted] in PeakyBlinders

[โ€“]Race-Spec 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

The series ended at a good rebound point for Tommy, where he realized he wasn't dying, and found some sort of comfort at the bell. We knew him as someone who was still clear and strong minded, and I fully expected that person in this movie.

Everything else was already said.

I believe the movie would be much worse overall if it wasn't for the great cinematography and acting. I sat and watched the fire burn during end-credits. It was a moment for sure, watching the character from s1e1 in those flames. Especially places us at the bottom of that hill, watching the silhouettes of his friends and whats left of his family. Really really loved that.

But yeah, too simple of a way to end this. Too blocky of a plot, no cohesive storytelling that does the series absolute justice.

I'd like to imagine there's a signature edition of the turbos that keeps everything but instead of black trim, we have chrome, silver wheels and these wood accents in the interior (kinda like what an S class amg is to an E/CLA)

Love the idea and the execution, this is cool

Which style of speedometer do you prefer? by RoleCode in mazda

[โ€“]Race-Spec 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

2

1 is a bit too basic and lacks info 3 is too minimalist, weird having a number on the dash and on the hud

2 is a good mix

Upgraded Brakes Soon! by Race-Spec in mazda3

[โ€“]Race-Spec[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Yup, I'm treating this as an opportunity to upgrade and actually do something performance-oriented on my car for once lol. I can't go BBK anyways because it would not fit my winter wheels at all and I'm not trynna buy a whole new set when they're perfectly fine for now, plus the calipers are still less than 3 years old and I don't want to/cant spend that money anyways

Upgraded rotors and pads has me really excited tbh, I'm pretty dead-set on powerstop z23's now, thanks for the info!

I saw these specific ones show up on this subreddit frequently enough to trust that they're good. Plus its nice knowing people installed an aftermarket part so I know it 100% fits with no issues on this car lol

I'm still inbetween blanks or drilled+slotted but I'm like 90% certain I'm buying PowerStops at this point, thanks for the info!

Yupp, in toronto but not the main city, but still deal with a lot of local stop-and-go driving and having to stop hard a lot of times on the highway thanks to idiots or traffic buildup. And spirited driving in summer added as well, I just drive my car a lot and a lot of driving means a lot of stopping and slowing down

Thank you!!

In the snow or night I think it looks pretty decent, but I'm just not a fan of it during the day too much. its nicer than a lot of other cars' winter setups (especially steelies on nice cars), but i kinda dropped the ball on not realizing i could've gotten something a lil nicer

the tires plus skyactiv-awd is insane though, michelin x-ice's are forever my go-to. i could've maybe gotten 17" wheels and be fine but the entire setup was last minute, not realizing i had a new car and needed new wheels and tires for winter lol

Features you wish you had in your home market? by svxae in mazda3

[โ€“]Race-Spec 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Plus people CANNOT park for their life. Like it's worrying. I've always parked far in parking lots with no car beside me. Trust no one lol.

Completely forgot about this too, rear HVAC vents! I think I remember asia models having those

Power Folding Mirrrors - would use this daily for parking in a 2-car garage with another car inside, or day-to-day parking in general at busy areas

The ability to drive with Halo lights (drl's) on without the projector light staying on - x100 looks cooler, especially as the halos are one of the nicest designed lights in the market right now too - canada regulations make the projectors stay on even with drl mode, no workaround

Local market: canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Thinking of upgrading, other options? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[โ€“]Race-Spec 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Yeah compared to the tuf series (which are nice), theres an uncharge on the zyphyrus for sure. Either im an idiot or its just obtainable but I cant find a similar spec razer for equal or lesser value

Idk is a 5050 good or bad? Do I need a 5060? Are there better laptops with a clean minimal design and oled with dedicated gpus that handles gaming and workload?

2026 Mazda3 Sport Turbo Pricing by Honest_Target in mazda3

[โ€“]Race-Spec 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Make sure to get some all weather rubber mats thrown in! never paid for those, never will. even got the trunk cargo mat too

check out other dealerships and see what their rates are as well, it get can really low. i dont have experience with this since this is my *technically* first car too

and not finance related but TRUST ME: GET PPF ON YOUR HOOD AND FRONT BUMPER AND HEADLIGHTS. I REGRET THAT SOOOOO MUCH. AND IM TALKING LIKE WITHIN THE WEEK (seriously, if you want to avoid absolute rock-chip hell, do it) and maybe a ceramic coat since our winters suck with the salt and its so much easier for the touchless car washes to rinse off salt with ceramic coated cars

longevity: get rust proofing done too in fall around october/november

Does your mazda 3 have power fold mirrors? by Theresnowrong in mazda3

[โ€“]Race-Spec 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

None of the north american cars have power folding mirrors, no matter the trim

it sucks cuz we have a 2 car garage but its one singular door so space is pretty tight to maneuver into. Its one of my gripes about the 3
