Quick and Easy MAZDA 3 Build - PT1 (Pimp My Mazda 3)

[@mondomoleno.3404]

Mazda3 is a really underrated car. Glad to see you guys giving it some love! These kinds of builds are great because a lot of younger people have them as a first car, they see something like this, and suddenly they get into the hobby because they never realised that "normal" cars can be just as much fun as their more dedicated friend's Civic Si/BRZ/etc.

[@GlazzedDonut]

I've had great experiences with my Mazdas so far and the spec list for the 2021 turbocharged skyactiv-g all-wheel-drive is actually really good looking to pick one up. Fun to drive cars

[@ncor04]

This is exactly why I got into cars, I drive a Mazda 3 2013 as my first car, it’s awesome

[@tn_mateo5974]

If you get a 09-15 auto you better relocate that TCM. Otherwise amazing cars

[@Outwardpd]

I love Mazdas but I'll never understand people that get the hatchback, turns a gorgeous car ugly in an instant. If you want an SUV just get a CX lol the CX-30 is literally cheaper than the M3 Hatchback.

Love these types of videos. Regarding the LED lights it's important for people to buy the same size and location of the LED as the reflector housing was designed to reflect light a certain way. If you buy a LED replacement that is too long or too short or has the LED's in the wrong spot your headlight performance will be poor.

[@andrewd2911]

These ones worked really well... solid cutoff in these projectors with little glare

[@brl5755]

also 'bluer' light color refracts more readily in fog and rain and ends up reflecting back into your face instead of cutting through to the road and back

[@bradcomis1066]

@@brl5755 The bluer light is so much more blinding for other drivers too. It would be great if manufacturers of new vehicles would use warmer lights- especially in their SUVs. Getting blinded by everyone drives me mad

[@claymartin5285]

So glad you guys are doing this. These 3's are really underrated.

[@dil6969]

I adore my '17 Mazda 3. The suspension setup on them is really excellent for spirited street driving without beating you up over nasty pavement. It's the perfect compliment to my Miata.

I’ve loveddddd these cars as soon as I found out about them. I’m glad you’re putting exposure on this!

[@HDmanzano1995]

I miss my 17 6MT Mazda 3 hatch. Honestly, SUCH a great mix of fun, practical, and economical. Truly a gym of a vehicle.

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

I usually only like 80’s and 90’s VW’s, BMW’s and Benz’s, but for whatever reason I’ve always loved the look of this generation Mazda 3 hatch! They just look sharp and smart, without going overboard with the styling like a lot of current econo cars are trying to do. (Juke, CH-v, civic etc)

[@Planexpert90]

If you've got the time to get the parts delivered, I cannot recommend Corksport's short shifter and billet aluminum shift linkage bushings enough. I've got them in my 2018 Mazda 3, and it's the best purchase I've ever made. Incredibly positive shift feel, and I no longer bang into the gate on my way to fifth gear. Relatively inexpensive, only takes about an hour to install, and it completely changes the driving experience.

[@andrewdlc967]

Thanks ... I will have to look into that - Moose

[@eliisbell5095]

If I were to do this to my 17' 3 about how much would it run me?

[@Planexpert90]

@@eliisbell5095 Total cost for both parts is about $150 CAD, plus a tube of blue Loctite, if you don't already have some. Best value-for-money mod I've ever done, hands down. corksport.com/mazda-3-6-cx5-short-shift-plate-kit.html corksport.com/corksport-mazda-shifter-bushing-set-skyactiv.html

[@Planexpert90]

@@eliisbell5095 I'm on a university student's budget. I totally feel that. I've never once regretted the expenditure. Combined with the corksport leather weighted shiftknob, I find myself making unnecessary gear changes just because it's so satisfying to row through the gears.

[@TypeSC2]

Love this series! I don't even own a Mazda, but there's just something so gratifying about seeing something come together quickly. Definitely feels like a throwback to the Modified days!

[@aliefdrumline]

My 16' Mazda 6 has been a really awesome daily. Ive done alot of what Id call tasteful mods. The 6mt is actually great. My list is actually pretty decent and thats all what I considered simple. Looking foward to this series!

[@enc856]

i love that you guys explain everything so calmly

[@trentpope7189]

Yes, back to Saturday mornings (for me in Australia) waking up to speed academy. Everything is right again.

[@bradgilpin9740]

I bought these same Sealight LEDS for my Sonic headlights, high beams, and Fog. I love them. Have had them in for over a year now. No problems.

[@Dreamweaver94]

As a Mazda 3 owner, this video is a nice surprise! Mine is a 2018 sedan with the 2.0L manual (same engine from the ND1). I've replaced the steelies with 2008 MX-5 17"x7" wheels, summer tires, tein lowering springs, and a different shift knob. While the car was fun for what it is stock, now my 3 is a great alternative to my Miata. It handles great for fwd, shifting is fun, the engine feels potent, it feels light on its feet, and it no doubt has the Mazda spirit.

[@affenjunge1615]

The grill chrome is considerably easier to black out if you remove the bumper and remove the chrome piece. I dipped mine and did it both in-place and off-car(deer took exception to my mazda), doing the extra work to remove it made the job easier and the results better. I am used to pulling bumpers so it took me less time to remove than to mask.

[@gabea.458]

"The interior is pretty clean". The cup holder area had so much dust I thought he flocked it tan. Really awesome that you guys did this for him!

[@meatyyt8731]

I love and admire how honest you are when you realize a mod isn’t turning out how you’d like, what to stay away from, and what to go for in terms of mods

[@chadsummy2336]

So glad you guys are back!! Some things I noticed that you guys don’t do that a lot of other channels do that helps low and continuity in the video: 1. When you finish a job preface what you are going to do next After every job. Like “Now that that we’ve finished installing the Front lip let’s move up above it and see what we have make the front of this car look even sweeter” OR “now that we’ve finished the front lip let’s move on to taking care of that chrome on the grill” You guys do it but not consistently and I causes some abrupt transitions. 2. Would you consider some background music, it would help unify the whole video and fills in those quiet moments where there is nothing to say like when drilling a hole. Great respect keep up the good work!

[@alandelpino]

This new video format/content is way better than the old stuff. Keep it up.

[@wesleykrol7226]

My exes mom had one of these with every option and imo its the best, most fun "normal" Daily you can get

I like this type of video, a quick change to vehicle's to show what is possible with more common car

[@Jon-nz3dm]

Well considering I also own this as a daily(2016, also black, hatch, manual) this is interesting for me. I've been thinking of small mods for a few months but haven't done any yet.

[@Helstrong]

I've got a Mazda 6 and wrapped all the chrome also. Looks so much better with it deleted.

[@rxtuninginc8444]

The SprintBooster is great. Added an intake and even the bigger Focus RS throttlebody to my Focus and it did improve throttle response a bit, but adding the SprintBooster made a night a d day difference. It's adjustable too so I found the perfect spot where I like it. Makes heel/toe downshifts way better too. I was never a fan of drive by wire throttles because they all seem to have that laggy response bit I'm glad there's a product that addresses it now.

Tips on vinyl wrap, use a heat gun but don’t be too greedy with the heat. Just play with it as you stretch it out. Also use a card to with water for lubricant to push out any bubbles!

[@AaronHendu]

My mom absolutely loves her Mazda 3, and it's been a great car overall. She's got the model before this, upgraded with Mazda Speed 3 body bits and spoiler, has the stock 16" alloy wheels from the model in this video. She's probably put 1000 km a week on that car since she got it, it's now at over 250,000km on the odometer and it still runs and looks great! And honestly...she really doesn't take good care of it.

I was given this car as my high school daily driver. This is looking like a good way to mod my mazda 3.

Front end bottoms out easily on dips / bumps. What that chin needs is a protective cover. Or really stiffen up that front suspension and ad larger wheel / tire package.

[@dwx]

[@kirstysinclair9021]

Use very slightly soap water to float the vinyl into place then you can move it if you make a placing error . Use a low heat gun to dry the water away and stretch the vinyl around corners . Those air pockets are not going .

[@justinhui384]

oh snaps! mod my ride is back!!! yes and I drive a mazda 3 :D taking notes lol

[@478Johnnyboy]

3:20 I definitely agree the lights are extremely yellow. I had considered swapping them but I think I will now. I have a 2016 Mazda 3 and its also extremely dark inside the car at night. I feel like they could have back lit several things to make the car not as dark but maybe I’ll find some customization items.

[@andrewd2911]

There is LED options for the courtesy (overhead) lights ... they tend to be about 6000 Kelvin (Bright white) cheap and easy to install

In the U.K. market the 2.2 diesel is the better option and you can get 210bhp with a normal remap. When I upgrade my Mazda 3 to a newer shape, I will upgrade it so it looks like the sport black model which is only available in the Petrol cars. So really it will be the only sport black diesel
