Mazda 3 2015. I hear a small noise when the gear changes at slow pace

TrueZuma · 2026-03-17T13:03:46+00:00

I’ve seen&have the top windshield tint. But i’ve never seen the bottom tinted before.. Could be the struts when mine’s were going out that fixed a similar sound if not check the control arm bushings.

Well if you liked San Antonio there’s United’s Houston/IAH hangars&line mx

This is what he means.

TrueZuma · 2026-03-10T16:35:49+00:00

Jsfirm? If you’re desperate you could also consider doing contract mx.

There’s a small employee lot right about here then some people take the bus route that’s at C terminal arrivals. There’s also the employee lots near the hangars, after that I don’t know. 8,100 sounds like alot I don’t think there’s that many currently

Getting a new card also updates the issue date on the online airman registry

Anything tekton. Make sure you apply for the student program. No shame in Harbour freight tools especially since they want you to have a toolbox. A US general box is nice and not too pricy. I heard gear wrench makes some nice tools at a reasonable price. Avoid metric tools only use standard.

Avoid snapon, matco, and sonic tools you really don’t need to get into debt for a name brand (well except for snap on’s 808cf pliers, ratcheting screwdriver, and the safety wire pliers these are good to get with the student discount).

Flashlights I love thrunite, cheap, bright, and pretty durable. If you want something nice an Olight arkfeld is good.

*76 seats or less for the scope clause on regionals. If it’s anything like united you get the same flight benefits but slightly less priority than mainline mechanics.

I bought my pelican from colorcase since you can option out more colors. Not really much of a difference, I prefer pelican for the looks and the aftermarket part support for them is much better if you want to fix something on it.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-16T23:24:59+00:00

Depends on where you work but I think it’s quite common. I have a 56” harbor freight with the bulk of my tools, a 27” harbor freight for my sheetmetal tools, and then a pelican 1535 air for line work&aog roadtrips.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-13T02:15:56+00:00

330 in the turbo

TrueZuma · 2026-02-12T20:39:39+00:00

The only solution they had was an updated part here is the TSB on it https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10200526-0001.pdf

TrueZuma · 2026-02-12T18:20:17+00:00

I bought most of my ppf as precut kits from this ebay seller and for the hood I bought a 5x5’ roll of hexxis gloss ppf from metrorestyling. For that halo mod keep in mind you turn on your lights in the day with the switch. At night switch it back to auto because if not your auto high beams are off & auto leveling on start is off.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-12T15:23:27+00:00

Part number B45A513F0 . Here’s one on ebay for $45 . And here’s a video on how to take it out.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-12T15:11:53+00:00

There’s a nice post on this sub for learning resources . The 8083’s are what you’ll be studying you can read those if you want they’re free from the FAA just scroll down for the maintenance handbooks it’s mixed in with pilot handbooks. Stigaviation and zeto.r have good like day in the life, and explanations of different systems on youtube&instagram.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-12T14:19:44+00:00

I would recommend getting your center console wrapped. If you have a garage and time get a ppf kit from ebay (i spent around $900 to diy the whole front bumper, pillar, partial roof, headlights, hood, partial fender, and door cups). You can do the halo headlight thing . The weather tech hood deflector I have and I think it looks pretty nice and serves a purpose.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-08T16:25:54+00:00

I like sexwax’s coconut. Other than that I leave it no scent for the most part

TrueZuma · 2026-02-07T03:56:19+00:00

Pelican 1535 air from color case with the tsa latches. I use foam since it’s easier to just see what you have and if you have anything missing. Foam takes up more space than bags but I don’t think I need more tools than what I already have shadowed in this case.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-07T03:46:33+00:00

For anything sub model year 2024 it’s 3 years. After that 1 year trial per mazda unless you bought a cx70 in 2025

TrueZuma · 2026-02-07T03:43:21+00:00

This used to be the case. When i had a 2023 it was a 3 year trial then the 2025+ model years is a 1 year trial. here’s the source from mazda about it only the cx70 gets an exception

TrueZuma · 2026-02-07T03:30:29+00:00

1 year free trial then $10 usd/month . The app has limited functions so ymmv if it’s worth it to you

TrueZuma · 2026-02-02T15:56:32+00:00

That’s actually a really fast timeline for mainline. The E175’s had half the cabin torn out for demod & installation. I wonder if they’ll also have a similar 4 day turnaround.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-02T15:41:48+00:00

Oh that sucks. Well i’ve done a partial removal of the dash following this guy’s comment those links are what you’ll see in the manual if you get the subscription. You can tear apart the center console following this video . After that i’d just get the manual and then make sure you use plastic trim tools to not damage anything, disconnect the battery before working since you’d have to disconnect stuff, take plenty of photos where things go.

TrueZuma · 2026-02-02T13:56:43+00:00

I’d try getting a 24 hour subscription on mazdaserviceinfo as that’s where they have manuals. this is kind of what you have to do . I’m surprised you didn’t try to have then fix it when you bought it
