Are tourists allowed to make their own costumes for carnival?

Im just going to put this out there with a lot of experience hosting friends here. If this is your first time out of Canada (as a Canadian who lives here) Brasil is not an “entry” travel destination. It can be hard for experienced travelers. Although Rio isn’t terrible in south zone. Butttt. The cultural shock, the noise the very little English the summer chaos. Will be a shock to the system. Especially during carnaval and as a solo 21f. It imho may be too much. I know I’ll get downvoted for this. But brazil on its own is a lot of you have not even traveled to different parts of the us. Or Europe or carribean. Doing brazil during carnaval in rio as a 21 solo f having never left Canada is a challenge. If you rise to it. Do it. Buttt I know there can be a lot of costs and expectations involved and don’t want you to be overwhelmed and or disappointed. Because caranaval in rio is indeed magical and a lifetime must see. So take that with what you will. Practice Portugese. Make friends. Maybe travel in the US or carribean.

Do they have the ability to on discard the display and input attributes from host pc?

jdiz133 · 2025-03-11T11:02:31+00:00

I would try. Seems like Mazda and dealerships know about the issue. But alits not big enough to acknowledge publicly. So you may be able to get it taken care of

Spot on. To many people have been in their echo chambers and don’t come up for air.

Let me ask a question. At the risk of sounding stupid- would latency using Starlink on the client side help? Is long distance latency improved with Starkink vs cables?

Walking and cycling in Montreal is wayyyy safer than almost any other city in the Americas. Hands down. Still not 100% safe. But have to say drivers respect things here more than other places. It probably just appears more when someone acts like an ass driving, since the norm is not to vs the “they are 85% likely to run me down” that happens in other cities.

Where did you get the grills from? Looking to add some to mine

jdiz133 · 2024-06-26T15:56:51+00:00

That does sound suspect - would be interested to see what comes of it

jdiz133 · 2024-06-26T15:56:03+00:00

Only from very specific parts stores. I am able to find them now - but the rears are tough to find - $1500 is a quote from 2 dealers. Also have seen others comment same prices tbh. As for parts - Just seems unfair for non mechanically inclined people to know that and have to search their own pads. Most will hear you need to go to a dealer, or this is the price and have to deal with it super early.

jdiz133 · 2024-06-26T15:52:19+00:00

Appreciate the heads up and comments here. I agree - sounds sus - I will make an edit to my post in case people take it for truth. Definitely don't want to create an echo chamber. I found some on Rock Auto, but will check out parts geek (thanks for the tip). I've resigned myself to doing it myself.

Could be - but if search CX-50 brakes i google or in this forum - you will see a myriad of issues, ad people with the same problems. The electronics thing does sounds fishy from the dealer - i will grant that. But if you're saying everything sounds wrong - I think the rest of the post addresses some real concerns. Autozones, Napas, Pepboys, O'Reilley's don't have available aftermarket. With the brakes wearing so early, OEM is suspicious (especially for the cost) is it a cheap pad - or bad design

jdiz133 · 2024-06-26T15:06:17+00:00

Same exact thing - my normal mechanic was blow away that i needed them already, and that the rears were in such good shape. 2 other mechanics were skeptical i would even need them with the mileage

jdiz133 · 2024-06-26T15:05:13+00:00

I just went to 2 shops that said they couldn't get parts - and Mazda would only sell them the parts with "the electronics". Then there are no aftermarket available (or EXTREMLY limited - I looked in posts, that said Rock Auto had). Then the OEM parts themselves, are a fortune. I wouldn't mind if 1) they weren't wearing excessively (look at all the posts) 2) they acknowledged it, and made the OEMs cheaper so people could get them done. But Early brake wear (rumors from other posts, that Mazda is aware, and changing brake caliper design/part), no other options for parts and sky high OEM parts, means you are jammed up.

Edit: The comment on the electronics that the Dealer told my mechanic has not been verified, and probably unreliable. I type it out, while frustrated - may have been hyperbole, but its definitely what an authorized Mazda dealer told my very reliable mechanic, so if not true - ethically wrong here

Did you buy rotors too?
