I have a 2007 and the rear engine mount upgrade to Corksport made a huge difference. The manual shifting is silky smooth and it even has a bit more growl to it. Totally changed the car.
Mannn you are a legend.. I have a 2012 skyactiv GT with 147k now, I've done some work on her myself but not even close to the level you're going at. Really inspiring to see all that you did by yourself, I hope to make mine as good as yours someday.
Thanks man! That's great keep up the mods! I've been moding this platform for years to get to this point! 👍
Great video, really enjoyed iCe modification as it progressed, just picked one up 2 weeks ago 08 already making my list. Been a automotive tech for years, now the Mazda gets my sole attention . Seeing it all from the floor let's me know so much on this little Mazda. Again great video 👍
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video and that it helped you for your build! I do love the look of the 08 a lot more, and pretty much all the suspension stuff I did is pretty much the same on the first gens. 👍
It’s a MazdaSkyactivSpeed3
Haha Yes at this point it is!! 👍
Celestial Blue ! Still in love with my Mazda 3 since 2015 ! Amazing color and car !
Yes!! I love this blue so much too! Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video bro well done 🤝🏾 Love the build
Thanks man!! I appreciate the support!! 👍
Great build!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Outstanding video! Wow
Glad you liked it!
You're super-gutsy to try to swap transmissions just to see if they would fit. Hats off to you! I just picked up a stock 2013 Mazda 3 sport auto in Forida. It's been declared salvage not once, but twice. At least the underside has zero rust.
Thanks!! Since it's a pretty niche platform there's not too much information on swaps like this so I just had to take a gamble and it all worked out in the end! Twice salvage is cray, but still having no rust on the car would make it soo nice to work with!! 👍
Your skills are very good. This MAZDA3 must be happy.Comment from Japan🇯🇵
Arigatō! Thank you very much! I appreciate the support!
Me encanta te ha quedado brutal.
Un saludo desde España, Great built
¡Gracias!
incredible!
Thank you!
Levanta el animo ver el contenido buen video el carro te quedo excelente 👌
Gracias contenta de que te haya gustado el video!
I'm screaming at this!
Same!
Bravo👏
Thanks!
Buen video!!!
¡Gracias!
This video is great! I have the same car and I would love to mod at least half of what you did.
I wonder where did you learn how to take out each and every part out and change/replace it?
I found no guides on net.
Btw, how long it took you to do all of this?
Wonderful job, bro! Love the car!
Thanks!! I really appreciate your feedback! I bought this Mazda 3 in January 2022 and have been building it since then. Before that I had the same Mazda 3 (white) but in Auto that you can also find on the channel, and I was building that chassis before this one. Most of the stuff I learn along the way to do, I have been working on cars since before I had a license haha and I love learning new things and how cars work. Thanks again! I really appreciate the support! 😃
Would you recommend changing the bushings in already installed parts? I have changed some suspension parts recently and they started to get damaged but i don't want to buy in new.
If they're still in good condition I would. The main reason I didn't do that was because of the amount of rust on my previous components. But if you changed them recently should be good to just replace the bushings! 👍
Minty video! 10/10, so what's next?
Thanks! Happy you liked it! There's always more mods to do! There's the Speed 3 I need to finish , and new platforms to come! 👍
@@DrivingProduction check out motordrivegroup sams midnight purple 2014 Mazda 3. It’s pretty sick and the best mod imo is his steering wheel. Definitely worth witnessing
Que buen trabajo
Gracias! 👍
Hola espero te encuentres bien, disculpa donde conseguiste los bujes de poliuretano para la suspensión los amarillos
Hola, de aquí conseguí los casquillos : siberianbushing.com/
Hey man, can you please tell me where did you get the wing from? Im looking for a mazdaspeed wing for my mazda3 and i can t find anything.
I got it from a local junkyard, but I see them pretty regularly on FB Marketplace for Mazdaspeed part outs.
where did you get the ground kit? i can only find info on 1st gen mazda 3
There's a link in the description you can go check out. 👍
I maintained my 12 Speed3 by myself too and did a lot of jobs on it. Compared with yours my jobs seems tiny😅the most difficult one for me was to remove the trans to replace the clutch. What's your wheel model? That looks awesome on our 3
That's great! You get to learn a lot about your car when you do all the work on it. In this video I had some NC mx-5 Special Edition wheels, they are 17x7 +55 so I was running 25mm spacer front and 35mm in the back. Now I'm running a set of Koning Hypergram. 👍
What throttle body would you use for a non sky activate 2.0?
I'm not sure if you can use the TB from the 2.3 or 2.5 MZR engine and if they are upgrades for the 2.0, but I would look into that if I were you. 👍
Where did you find that spoiler? Ive been looking for a Mazdaspeed3 spoiler for my skyactive forever.
I was fortunate to find one in a local junkyard, but I see them all the time on FB marketplace in Mazdaspeed part outs
💪🏽
Where did you get that radio? I’ve been looking for one with analog volume, and here I only find touch buttons and that sucks!!!
Yes I feel the same about the touch screens! That's why I went with this one, unfortunately I think Eonon discontinued this model as I don't see it on their website anymore.
Mine isn’t nearly as cool as this but I’m on my journey to install everything I can find on my 2012 Skyactiv. So far:
2.5 GT wing
Speed3 rear sway bar
Speed3 axle back and bumper
2.5 sideskirts
Speed3 red stitch arm rest and shift boot
Ford focus electric rear motor mount
Window visors
2.5 throttle body
Coming up:
Turn signal mirrors
Fog lights
Heated seats from a 2.5
That's awesome! I'm sure it looks great!! Keep it up!
what are these wheels?
Hello, I hope you can help me, I am in my project with my standard Mazda 2.5 and I would like to know if the speed transmission fits my 2.5
If you have the MZR 2.5 the Speed transmission bolts up, you just need a Mazdaspeed clutch/flywheel plus the shift cables. I think you might need a few other things, but it's been done before there's information on the forums about it.
I looked at that cold air intake and it’s no longer available/instock and I looked all over Amazon and I couldn’t find one like that for the same price. Any suggestions?
Also love the videos. Super helpful since I have a sky active too😂
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! Yes unfortunately they don't make them anymore, I was lucky to find one used maybe look on eBay on used listing or on FB Marketplace. Or custom make one with piping from another intake. Hope this helps! 👍
Bue video. 100 puntos
Gracias!! 👍
en el minuto 1, porque le pusiste tantos cables tierra ?. trabajo espectacular amigo
I think the connected some wires from headlights and fog lights then connected it to battery
I made 2 video about it, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/3G-Fjj96Si4/видео.html
The rim are 17" from mazda mx5 ?
Yes they are off a 2012 Mazda Mx-5 Special Edition
All that work and a check engine light is lite up? Do you know the cargo space on the Mazda 3 is smaller on the 2nd and 3rd generation hatchbacks versus a 1st gen? I have a 1st gen looking to upgrade to a 2nd or 3rd gen Mazda 3?
Yes 😅 the CEL was on because of a small evap leak that came on and off. For cargo space 1st & 2ng gens are pretty close as they are based off the same platform, the 3rd gens are as big but you loose in height because the hatch is more curved then the other ones. 4th gens are the smallest hatch overall.
Any link to the spoiler or what spoiler is it? Pls
MPS Spoiler
It was a used spoiler from a Mazdaspeed 3 that was in a local junk yard
where does this rear spoiler come from?
Can off a Mazdaspeed 3, got it at a local junkyard
how much money have you spend for this mazda?
Great question! I'm not quite sure at this point, I would say in the $4000-$5000 of mods.
Why did you remove the antenna just to bondo the hole and sanded the roof down, repainted the entire thing the same color and then wrapped it black? 😂
I figured that if I ever removed the wrap it would be blue like the car, but it was also one of those moments when I asked myself why did I paint it and not just wrap it like you said 😅😂
Whaoo is perfect you Job..
Thanks! Glad you liked the build!
Зачем менять руль, тем более от предыдущего кузова, там много не понятного
в основном на вид руль BL Mazda 3 выглядит не очень, поэтому и поменял
a lot of rust on those cars :( im thinking to buy one, but when i see the rust..
I know it get's bad where I live really quickly with the salt on the roads.
Nice content, but don't get wash your engine.
Thanks!! It just make the engine bay cleaner and nicer!
Ah yes a speed 3 with the power of ½ speed 3. Looks great but i dont understand the time, effort and money put into it.
It’s a great DD with at least twice the reliability and fuel economy.
Also most of them have not been beat to hell it’s easy to find a good Skyactiv example with low miles for cheap.
Like mention in the other comment, it makes for a great DD, it's been rock solid reliable and get amazing gas mileage. . . on the other hand my actual Speed 3 had 0% of the power my Mazda 3 makes because it has a blown engine like most Speed 3 😆😂
