Building a budget daily 3rd gen Mazda 3 (2014-2018) in 8 minutes!

[@AintSoSlimShady]

I like that you're not just "talking" about a build for the car, you're quite literally building it

[@cire06.]

These 3rd Gens are low key underrated imo

[@rhyzhenthioz]

there are. And the latest is even more. But that is ok. otherwise the price would go up. and we dont want that.

[@hiredgoon4269]

@@rhyzhenthioz Yeah, definitely! I just got a very well taken care of 2015 GT sedan for 10k yesterday.

[@gtasanandreascluckinbell]

​@@hiredgoon4269 no kidding, i got a hatch gt 2018 for 16k (cad), so about 11.5 k

[@ohrisu638]

im a 86 owner but had a 3rd gen and 4th gen models of the mz3 and the one thing people tend to forget when building mazda 3s is they go way too far in mods but this mz3 is perfect. simple clean and nice build perfect wheels great sound good color and simple easy clean love it. keep it up brother just amazing your car is.

[@olzgarage]

Thanks ! Very appreciated 🙌🏻

[@bread6235]

exactly bro. they add stuff because they can, not because they should. OEM+ is my personal favorite style for cars, and that is the perfect fit for mazda3s

[@DroneStrike1776]

Only mods I have on my 4th gen, kick panel protector, screen and piano black protector, drop in K&N, and Pirelli P Zero AS Plus. Roads are too bad to lower the car.

[@MouseCIick]

Ahhh I remember building my first gen Mazda 3. My favorite mod was selling it for a WRX.

[@ohrisu638]

i gotta admit you had me going but yeah gotta love a WRX hey we all need an upgrade right.@@MouseCIick

[@alexcuseME]

I've traveled in several countries in Western Europe and i haven't seen many of them here, for all the time it's been released. Such a criminally underrated car.

[@r_ez4608]

I used to have a 3rd gen mazda 3 for a good 6 years. What an incredible car! After throwing on some Eibach Pro springs and a better wheel/tire setup, it was a ton of fun in the twisties too. My only issue was its lack of power (I had the 2 litre), but that was offset by its great gas mileage, and since I had the car for the entirety of my time in college, that latter point really saved my ass lol. Hope you enjoy yours, it looks incredible!

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I think the original Mazda wheels actually looked pretty good on the build.

[@fuxkjavi]

i like the wheels he put on just the car needs to be a darker color for them to stand out

[@WastedThyme]

I loved the original rims on my 2014 3. Got them powder coated in black, really made the car pop.

[@SirTheo89]

I think the original looked better than the ones he added

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@ayyyyeeee1403 The wheels aren't bad, but I just don't think they fit the car, especially in white. Would rather have the car lowered on the stocks I think. But I don't even have my own car, so who am I to speak.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@ayyyyeeee1403 White wheels imo only really work with a ralley setup. The works-style wheels on older cars like the old civics or an r32 gtr. Despite really hating chrome, I've grown to really prefer silver wheels on an all black car, and in the case of the mazda 3 here it worked imo. I'm personally into small cars you can use. I l'd love to have a Porsche gt4 or gt3, but I'd probably equally love a VW up gti, or a polo gti if they sold them as manuals here in Germany. Stuff like the nd mx5 or gr86 are also bangers imo.

[@matejkozic1470]

I worked 8 years at mazda and i can say that these cars with petrol engines are bulletproof

[@MouseCIick]

I guess they are bulletproof for 8 years.

[@hustlersfuel]

What about the diesel ones?

[@viktorhalaj3029]

@@hustlersfuel From what I have read online the 2.2 liter diesel engines were not as reliable as the 2.0 liter benzine ones but I don't know much about cars so I don't really know why. There are articles on the internet comparing the 2. I bought 2015 mazda 3 about 2 months ago with the 2.0 liter engine and I truly love this car.

[@KikiNation1]

I don’t like the 1990s white rims, but everything else looks good 👍

[@steve9377]

I think in stock form the Mazda3 is an excellent car in terms of styling and balance of performance and driving dynamics and even though I think most of the mods with the exception of the window vents are a waste of money, the editing in this video is top notch.

[@kylegriffiths5990]

Agreed. It does look better but that's a hell of a lot of effort, time and money for no extra performance.

[@mAthXjAzz]

For some Life is all about money. For others about enthusiasm.

[@szynek9552]

This is one of the cleanest builds I've seen for this car. It looks much better and sportier, but not like a ricer at the same time.

[@adrianzowe]

Wow, this is probably the best Mazda 3 Gen 3 I've ever seen. Look at how clean that is!! Amazing. Great job!!

[@deadghost50ify]

To the dude that said this looks like it rolled out of a cereal box…. Yeah it did, cleanest cereal box toy car you ever gonna see too. Clean build man!!!

[@ryanbrockmiller1648]

I work at a mazda dealership and I absolutely hate the way these cars look stock, well at least the rear end. but with the wing better looking wheels and being lowered I love them. it is crazy how different they look with just a couple mods. nice work man.

[@Telesko]

Those wheels and the spoiler are perfect, so good

[@MajorAddiction]

Love the concept and execution of this video. Also props on the fender roll. I wouldn't have the guts to do it myself

[@johnstancell]

The algorithm is working! Just saw this on my home page. I own a 21 CX-30 turbo, but previously has a 2016 mz3 and loved it. Clean build. My 30 was just in an accident so I'm going to start documenting all the repairs and learn as I go.

[@nicholasdegano3754]

[@bigmurff]

Thanks for showing how to remove the rear spoiler at 4:49, the clear coat on my cx5's rear spoiler is peeling and wanted to get that re-cleared next summer and now I have an idea how to remove it. Clean ride by the way, like the mods you have done.

I bought a 2017 new and with in 6 months of owning it did all the same mods to mine except im a bit lower and did not have to roll my fenders thank god. You also want to remove the resonator gives it a much better sound although i went with borla muffler setup .

[@Dariddda]

Hey man great video! If I could suggest 1 thing, you should give some love to your infotainment as well... like with a retrofit android auto/carplay upgrade, if your car does'nt already support it. I've got a Mazda 6 3rd gen, and I did the upgrade recently. It makes the interior so much cleaner, when you don't have to use some magnetic stuff to hold your phone on the windshield or vent holes.

[@olzgarage]

Thanks! Yes I consider doing the upgrade! It doesn’t come stock in the 3rd gen, but is available to upgrade !

[@olzgarage]

Thanks! Yes I’m very happy with the result!

[@JavierLianso]

Slow as hell? what are you talking about? making the 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds isn't precisely slow for not having any forced induction. But if you still want the car to be faster, get the Corksport turbo kit, now available for automatics too.

[@Elite_Warfare]

slow but feels fast haha over all its a fun car to drive and tbh you can fit a lot of stuff in the hatch it's insane.

[@JavierLianso]

@@Elite_Warfare the 2.0 is obviously slower than the 2.5 but the latter reaches its torque peak at 3000 RPMs, that's fast enough for the segment they compete. While the manual transmission is decent enough, the automatic version is faster than any CVT that you'll find in civics and Corollas. The 2.5 is light and fast, do a ECU tune and you can reach 220 hp max, enough to compete with hot hatches like the golf GTI. Install the turbo kit and you'll have technically a Mazdaspeed3 3rd Gen (which was never delivered)

[@Elite_Warfare]

@@JavierLianso I have a 2.0 2015 but currently having issues i can't floor the pedal its moving slow, I was driving in Manuel mode shifted late and the car jumped hard and the dash lit up, its still moving but i also can't read the vehicle (the reader under the driver side) stopped working, I found a blown fuse from that but still doesn't work after changing, I don't have money for the dealer atm.

Incredible brother! The truth is an excellent job, every detail, every piece totally changes your eyes!
