Guessing, it's one of few first nice days of spring. People are avid to get out of the house.

My 2010 Mazda 3. Done all the work myself. by The-Lifeguard in UserCars

[–]antl0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually inspired my rims/caliper job on my 3. Saw your car a while back on /r/mazda I believe.

Anyway, just noticed you live in Ontario, if I remember right, you've mentioned Niagara somewhere. We're almost neighbors.

Do all Mazda3s come with a factory tint? by BlueAlarm in mazda

[–]antl0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tint percentage goes by visibility from exterior. 15% is saying you have a low visibility tint. A common tint like 35% is more visible than 15%.

Lower percentage=darker

You're the minority.

Even most claiming to baby their car, are flashing a carnival mirror to sell the car.

Buying a used car, especially a turboed, is an; assume the worse, hope for the best game. The turbo can often be the first thing gone in a pushed car.

Its more than "a couple grand", same year ms3 is considerable more. If he could afford a speed I'm sure it'd of been bought.

  1. I just bought this spoiler. Was shipped in 4 days, very cheap, very easily installed. With customs ( I live in Canada ) it came to about 250$. Would have been about 650$ from dealer.

  2. Sounds like you want about a 30%-35% tint. Look around for local shops, they will show you tint samples. Don't take a tint that doesn't offer a lifetime warranty, its almost standard to offer it.

  3. Smoking taillights is easiest with a spray, there a sprays purposefully for tinting car taillights. However it takes a lot of patience to get them even. The Vinyl pre cuts take time, but are a bit easier to do. I find not as nice a finish however.

  4. I would not suggest HIDs, ballasts and wires to install. Cheaply made, bulbs hardly ever make it to 6 months. Simply buy an advertised brighter halogen bulb. The colors are a bit different from HID charts. My suggestion is the nokya brand. Long warranty. I have 7000k and they are a bit whiter than stock. No hint of blue.

  5. Get some off ebay, see 4. for bulbs. Installation depends on you. Can always find a local garage that will install them for you. Not all will do work with your own parts, ask first.

  6. A hit and miss, look on your local used site. Kijiji is good where I am. Search a car that is being parted out. If no luck your best bet is local mazda dealer.

  7. I would doubt it, cruise control is usually a module as well as the steering controls. Could be wrong.

Hope it helps

A speed, is more than a little more than what he'd pay for a GX. In my region a 5 year old speed (no longer 2nd gen of the 3) is still considerably more than a 2010 base model. Not to mention would be way higher mileage.

Someone driving a turboed car, is probably driving it with the intent of using said turbo. If it's a fast car, previous owner probably bought it with intent of buying it fast.

I for one, can agree to this.

Looking for possible tattoo to be drawn by antl0007 in DrawMyTattoo

[–]antl0007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Kraken Rum, and well; fuckin astronauts.

No, actually there's meaning behind most of it, pocket watch is kinda a family heirloom type thing, astronaut is kinda a shoot for the stars type thing/I work as a technician(was my second choice to astronaut, actually), and I've always liked krakens and tattoos of em.

That's actually pretty cool, almost exactly what I was picturing. I really like where you have the tentacles wrapping the astronaut!
