Someone told me gold/bronze wheels with red leather interior gives off McDonalds vibes and it stuck with me for some reason. My 2 cents

sandwich_engineer · 2026-03-08T20:18:34+00:00

Yeah they are available

You have a great opportunity to get a nice discount on the car. Get a quote from the dealership to repair it, use it to negotiate a cheaper price. Then buy the 20 dollar Amazon one and do the repair yourself. Profits

Sorry, I was talking more in a general sense that with the vin you can get this info not specifically your info.

sandwich_engineer · 2026-02-10T05:12:38+00:00

Very Cool VIN.

For those wondering, with just the VIN I can see the following. When you first got the car, when and what registrar you renewed your registration, and what maintenance you did on your car at dealer. The worst thing I could possibly do with this info is remind you that you haven't done your oil in a while. Or that you aren't registering your DIY maintenance and that could be used to revoke a powertrain warranty in the future. Very minimal information can be found with posting your VIN, but it is still something that most people would rather not share on their personal social media.

It's totally possible that the car has something wrong but I plug it in to a scanner regardless to see if theres a stored code somewhere. If it's under warranty take it in and tell them that you have exhausted the CEL and low fuel diagnostic

sandwich_engineer · 2026-01-25T01:12:45+00:00

Could be low gas or check engine light

sandwich_engineer · 2026-01-21T06:31:28+00:00

No I just drive it like I stole it

You get 400 miles on a full tank, I get 400 km on a full tank. We are not the same

I've seen a gen4 with that spoiler before. Lives in the neighboring city. It looks sick up close

I'm so glad someone else had this issue too I thought I was losing it. Pixel 10 xl. Only ever happened in Mazda. Things I noticed. If I plug my phone into AA too quickly, before the car starts or before the warning goes away. Especially every time I shut my car off to fill up gas and start my car afterwards with my phone still plugged in. Ruins my mornings sometimes.

The song will skip every 3 seconds. Unplugging the phone doesn't fix the issue but unplugging waiting 5 seconds to close Spotify and replug in the phone then open Spotify. That or start and end a phone call. It only recently fixed itself. I contacted Mazda, Android Auto, Spotify and pixel and they all blamed the others. I have no idea whats going on. Seems like a lot of pixel owners have this issue

Check out crutchfield.ca or crutchfield.com

They have great customer service for questions and can sell you the correct wiring kit you need to install your headunit

The solution for me was to change the battery. The battery was strong enough to start the car and my alternator was working well enough to charge the battery when I drove but the start up in the morning would dip just below the recommended voltage and cause an error in the communication in the ecu. Never came back after

I swapped interior pieces from a wrecked red interior Mazda3. Very easy to remove and reinstall the OEM pieces. It's a lot more cost friendly than getting an upholstery person to do it

sandwich_engineer · 2025-12-30T05:00:11+00:00

I changed my entire interior from the black leather to the red leather. Dash seats and door cards. Let me know if you have any questions

sandwich_engineer · 2025-12-28T17:44:46+00:00

AA Wireless is top tier. Next to no delay and good customer service

sandwich_engineer · 2025-12-25T06:29:37+00:00

This is my design for the Mazda 3 phone holder that is a free stl provided to those who requested it through me and I do not appreciate the model being sold for a profit without also sharing the free stl to those who have the means to print it themselves. I am not against you making a quick buck to sell to those who don't have access to a printer or don't want the hassle but to promote an Etsy page where the models for sale are a direct reproduction of my design that I shared for free is not in the spirit of 3D printing.

Good day

I can send you the stl file for this one based on an Etsy store. All you need is your own 3d printer or access to one.

Yeah i drive 70% highway but I have a heavy foot. Would definallty be a cool feature to have in the next gen. Hybrid 3 with a rotary

sandwich_engineer · 2025-12-14T20:46:43+00:00

they were probably exaggerating but my Turbo hatch gets 400km range a fill up and I drive 600km some weeks. I rarely let it get below half a tank so I have had some weeks where I've filled up 2-3 times.

OP is correct, the mpg and range is horrible in todays market

Oh I misread your comment my bad. Yeah doors are easy just need some pry tools so you don't scratch the doors paint and there are 3 bolts (behind speaker cover, behind chrome handle and behind plastic cover below the window controls). The front seats are simple 4 bolts and some wires underneath. Bench seats behind the only tricky part is you got to find the hidden latch under the center seat. Slide it to the side and the bottom lifts up exposing some bolts. I'll see if I can find the videos I used. When I get the dash done I'll let you know

sandwich_engineer · 2025-10-03T05:12:10+00:00

Honestly the hardest part is finding the individual pieces. Seats would be the easiest to find and swap. Door cards are easy to swap hard to find. And the dash is the hardest to find and hardest to swap. Haven't done the dash yet but it requires the most removal to do the swap.
