New Rule: No AI-Generated Content

802 Upvotes

Hi /r/Mazda,

Over the years, we’ve had many AI-Generated posts submitted to the subreddit and while the conversations can be engaging around what a car or concept COULD look like, the damage done to our environment is not worth it.

We’d like to encourage users to submit real-life images, real mockups, real concepts and have real interactions with each other around this type of content but cannot support low effort, AI-generated slop.

Going forward, users who post AI-generated images will have their posts removed and will receive a warning. Further AI slop will result in a temporary ban, up to a permanent ban.

Just sharing my hard work

I designed and built this entire bodykit + headlights & Taillights

Wheel specs: 18x10.5 +7 with 295/35 tires

Custom made wheels inspired by the Rotiform Ken Block KB1

Icooh 355mm front Brakes

Custom designed aluminum printed power steering reservoir and intercooler end tanks.

Engine built by BobSpeed, DTP exhaust manifold, terrible quality but functional CNC innovations intake manifold with Xona rotor 6364s Turbo.

Port fuel injection system with split second, 1050 injectors, and ethanol fuel cell in trunk.

Edit: whatever sad person deliberately downvoted all the positive comments from others, you gotta at least try to get a life, for Christ’s sake. Your parents need you out of that basement.

2014 Japan built Mazda 3, six speed manual. Only problems have been: HVAC blower motor and the blind spot monitor sensor. If I keep the same job I will hit 300K in 2030. This is my goal, wish me luck!

Just paying respect to my 2021 100th anniversary 3 sport. I’ve absolutely loved driving this car and I’m going to miss it. Needed something bigger and I’m moving up to the CX-70 Signature. Thank-you for being the most fun I’ve ever had driving a car. Hope you bring as much joy to your next owner as you did to me 🫡

2017 Mazda 6 Atenza Wagon - Head unit upgrade help

• Upvotes

I have a 2017 Mazda 6 Atenza Wagon with the Bose amp installed. I have purchased an aftermarket head unit and wiring harness to put it all together.

Head unit - Pioneer DMH-A5650BT
ASMZ7C Steering wheel control interface to suit Mazda
Aerpro APP8PIO8 App8 secondary iso harness to suit pioneer av headunits 16 pin

I have connected all the cables that I can (correctly I believe) and can turn on the head unit and connect it to my phone.

There are RCA jacks in the back of the head unit to connect to the speakers but nothing to connect to the car. I believe it requires another adaptor, AI seems to think it's an Aerpro APP7240 but that doesn't exist anymore.

I still have 3 wires coming from the car that aren't plugged in, 1 blue cable (GPS), 1 green and grey cable (I believe this is sound to connect to the amp?) And a white 4 pin cable.

Anyone have any ideas to help me get this installed?

Pros and Cons: Your Experience may help/Advice

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

For my nephew who can’t decide (on a budget/he is 27)— which is better to purchase - a mazda 3 sedan sport 2026 or Nissan Calibre X 2026? He is on hybrid work, goes out on weekends, passes by often in a very notoriously traffic-crazy Sucat Interchange road where I’ve seen motorbikes seriously have no “decent” respect for road rules (often making singit). I advise on safety. But, I’m not exactly a very experienced with years and years of driving experience in the MM. aso, seeking advice from experienced car drivers out there. Thanks.

Mazda 3 2025 AC on cold start

Post image
0 Upvotes

Probably a basic question, but should I wait for the RPM to drop below 1,000 before turning on the AC after starting the car, or is it fine to turn it on immediately?
Does it make any difference to engine health over time?

I live in a very hot city, so I need the AC right away otherwise, I would be fine with waiting.

Heads up display impossible to see

3 Upvotes

My 2025 Mazda3 sedan heads up display sucks after 15k miles. When I first got the car test driving and first month or so it was right in my face.

Come about a year and 2 months later the only possible way I can see it is if I have my head smashed into the roof of the car. This is with maximum height for the display.

Was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue and if there is a solution?

Cx-30 model

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I would like to find a 1/64 scale model of a 2024 body style CX 30. I have a hot wheel collection and I would love to add my car to it. I would also be open to a STL file if anybody happens to have one, I can always print it. I have a resin printer. But if anybody actually finds a model, I need it in black. My car is the black Mica color.
Thanks guys 🙃

Please help me justify this cost

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I just paid this from the most reputable transmission shop in Boston. Best reviews, they showed me the parts and emphasized they wanted to be transparent with the customer. I sincerely want to be able to say that I was charged fairly, even if overpriced a bit, but not clearly taken advantage of. I am looking far and wide for any indication that an Exedy clutch kit can cost $1,250. Please give me any reason to believe this is fair, really.

They also showed me the worn clutch to apologize for needing to buy the flywheel for $250 instead of resurfacing, photos attached.
