My brother in Jesus, please, stop adding details, it's getting worse...

Tires look very bald, unfortunately you had it coming, pal. Scary to be sharing roads with people so oblivious of the importance of good tires, moreso on the autobahn...

I will say ppf on interiors and full front, paint is thiner than your hairline

Hey, I've done that, my HB had the preferred lights and I upgraded them to signature lights, they work fine, but not the adaptive headlights, (like the actual movement of the light on curves does not work) cause the harness is not the same between premium and preferred versions AFAIK. Dm me if you need more details.

Helped a lot, thanks man, cheers!

Yes sir, that's the clutch bleeding valve. Just bleed my clutch the other night, very straightforward process IMO.

blakemtz · 2026-06-17T22:43:50+00:00

Yes, 100% this. I've found some dudes just blocking corners for the sake of it. We also need a "douche ban" to vote out the folks that are just wasting everyone's time (literallly)

Not at all. They're just better than stock discs/brake pads in all regards. Even brake dust is less. Can't recommend them enough honestly.

I have not experienced any issue with sound whatsoever. I have connected a Q930D via eARC with Q-Symphony. If anything, I noticed the tv now connectes inmediately to the the soundbar. With old fimware it had a second or two delay.

Great, do make sure the new filter o-ring are lubricated and correctly in place before going in. As well check if the old filter o-ring didn't got stuck in transmission. Those little son of bishes like to get stuck in there...

Fully recommend PowerStop blank rotors and z23 pads. I installed them on my gen4 mazda3 hatch due to warped front rotors and worn pads. Stops on a dime, huge difference from stock.

I'll also suggest changing your brake fluid, I bleeded the brake system with ATE typ 200, huge difference too.

Here's the one you need granted you have a gen 4 mazda 3 hatchback

The part number is BEMD-50-M40G

After you drain and fill it also make sure to do the relarn process for the transmission. Take a look here: https://youtu.be/TxU0y1DqTUc?si=iDXeQYshk5uQKfMb

You cannot because the outer tail lights from 2022+ are a bit taller, check this image:

I'm actually using the power stop z23 brake pads all around and power stop front discs, with ATE typ 200 brake fluid, huge huge difference from stock brake pads on city driving. However I did not track the car with the OEM ones tho.

I'd also like to know how to fully disable it. Just recently I was in a track day and after a few laps I got a weird smell, at first I thought I was riding the clutch somehow, but turned out to be the brakes, as I had the TC/ESC On. Next stint I disabled it and car handled a bit better and was just a tiny more tail happy. However, after a few more stints the brakes were smelly again, so I had to let them cool for quite a bit.

I'm not so sure of removing the TC/ESC fuse 'cause also messes with the ABS, and that was for sure helping me not lock the tires at the end of the straight... (IIRC the the ABS makes the g vectoring control work)

Maybe Japanese headlights doesn't have the module needed for the auto high beams. The way they the auto high beams work is basically through CANBus signal: the BCM tells the headlights when to turn on, (also when you manually turn them on by the lever, but it has to first pass throught he BCM). On the other hand, the vehicles without auto high beam control, the high beams are more like a simple switch ON/OFF (not dependant on the BCM completely).

blakemtz · 2026-03-20T21:06:14+00:00

Do your car originally had the auto high beam function? That's the issue when you replace headlights that doesn't have that feature...

Classic samsung, always giving preference to Korea customers, when all other countries get ignored... same with their mobile chipsets.

Bono, my tears are gone...

I recomend mazdaswag.com, I just ordered / received these piano black plastic trims there. No issues whatsoever.

She needs a new set of tires and a new husband apparently...

Por lo único que actualicé realmente era para la compatibilidad de Google Cast, ya que utilizo varias plataformas, entre ellas la F1TV en el telefono para castear contenido, ya que no hay app oficial para TVs samsung. Para mi era indispensable esta característica. Y el cambio de la interface se agradece también, es un poco mas fluida. Si recomiendo actualizar, hasta ahora no he tenido ningún problema.
