How to replace the passenger/top motor mount on a Mazda 3.
มุมมอง 4323 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I go through the steps on replacing a very common failure item on earlier Mazda 3 models, the passenger side or top motor mount. If you're doing this yourself, be careful about which motor mount you order! Depending on the model, the motor mounts are different!
Best Value Exhaust Setup For Mazda 3? Muffler Delete & Tailpipe Install!
มุมมอง 1.8K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's time for me to finally add some big power and sound to my Mazda 3! In this video, I do this by removing the primary muffler and putting together a tailpipe using various exhaust pipe parts starting from the secondary muffler. For the cost of everything and ease of install, it really does sound amazing! Is this the best value exhaust setup for the Mazda 3? Let me know in the comments! 00:00...
Best handling upgrade for Mazda 3? Progress Tech rear sway bar install (w/ front poly bushings)!
มุมมอง 6598 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you want an easy and inexpensive way to upgrade your Mazda 3's handling, then watch this! While the Mazda 3 on its own handles very well compared to its competition, it does has one major flaw: The rear sway bar is too weak, which makes for an unstable car at the rear during high speed maneuvers, which can create a car that tends to understeer. In this video, I show you how to fix this issue...
Introducing the next Mazda 3 mod! Progress Tech rear sway bar unboxing.

In this video I introduce and unbox my next mod for the Mazda 3, a rear sway bar from Progress Tech, and new polyurethane sway bar bushings for the front. While I'm waiting for my bushings, I go in depth as to why I chose this specific rear sway bar for my 3 and why you might want to as well.
How To Install An Oil Catch Can (2013 Mazda 3)

In this video I show you how to install an oil catch can in you car or truck. An oil catch can is a collecting device that collects excess oil from piston blowby from the PCV system. It is connected by inlet and outlet hoses that go from the PCV valve into the intake manifold. Modern engines come equipped with a PCV system that routes all of the gasses and oil from the crankcase back into the i...

Is a universal $20 urethane spoiler worth it?

In this video I install a super cheap universal lip-style trunk spoiler on my Mazda 3 to add some style to the rear end. But with that super appealing price, is it worth buying and trying to install?

Quick and casual backroad run with the 3 after work.
มุมมอง 85ปีที่แล้ว
Quick little backroads run after work. I had just gotten the 3 at the time, therefore it was completely stock, still on a set of worn Yokohamas that I bought the car with. Not a lot of grip from them at all, and with the limited experience with the road at the time, resulted in the slower and more careful pace. The windows were down for fresh air, but this created lots of wind noise; My mistake...

waste of time sounds terrible

Thanks for the feedback. This is why I posted this. Now you know.
What are the torque specs for the nuts and bolts? I have a 2013 skyactiv automatic Transmission and i am finding it hard to find torque specs. Thanks
For those wondering this also fits sky activ automatic transmission, the part number is: BFD1-39-060
Thanks for confirming!
Great analysis at the end. I'm considering the Progress 22 mm RSB for my stock '09 Accord coupe. Not looking to go on the track or anything, just looking for greater responsiveness, stability and a tighter feeling on these CO mountain roads! Do you think it might be a good fit?
Absolutely!
@@vitok-20 Just popped it in this past weekend, can't believe the difference!
Good to hear. Have fun!
Hey guys just letting you know that I fixed the chain skipping issue and upgraded the saddle! Here's a link to that video: th-cam.com/video/Po0pJD5ID2I/w-d-xo.html
Does this kit be installed on a 2019 Mazda sport cx3 ?
It's a universal catch can, but I will say that the location for the PCV is going to be the same on your CX-3.
Hey man, can you do a fuel injector replacement video?
If that day comes then sure.
Nice tutorial bro
been using those catch cans for years, works best with stainless steel scrubbing pad inside
That's how I personally run mine.
Hey man! Just about to buy a new to me used Mazda 3 2012 skyactive and found your videos, do you have any social media where to hit you up and talk a bit more about the mazda 3 skyactive specifically?
Sure. @vito_k._20 on Instagram.
I just bought this exact car with the 6 speed manual. Great car!
👍🏾
Did you turn the engine to close the 4th valve?
what about exhaust note did it make any difference?
Not really.
Great video, keep it up!!
Would this video work for a Mazda 6 as well?
You got a really good deal, paid $470. For mine a couple of weeks ago it's November 25th and they didn't even lower the price for black Friday.
Every one wants this bike.
That's a really good idea to put tape on your bike to protect the frame, I'll be doing the same to my new axum.
I have the same bike just watched your other video and I can't believe you're still using that same saddle, it's terrible. I changed mine after the first week of riding mine. My chain drops every once and a while to but other than that this bike is still the best bike I've ever had.
I bought my axum last week and I love it I got a new seat just yesterday because as you said the one it comes with is very uncomfortable. I injoyed your trail video shots and I will be making my own videos of the trails that I will be riding on. Nothing to crazy because I'm a new rider and in my late 50s and like by body to stay in the unbroken but we'll worn state it's in😊.
Very good video. Easy to understand. Two questions. I have the exact car. What size screw did you use to attach the bracket to the car? And what do I torque the manifold bolts to? Thank you in advance.
The screw I used is a 10 mm. I do not remember the thread gap however. If I were you I would take the original bolt that's there and match it with something that is slightly longer at your hardware store so that the bracket can mount to the frame; that's what I did. As for the intake manifold, the torque specs are the same for all bolts: 33 ft-lbs. or 44.5 Nm.
I see schwinn really went all out on the tire size lol, 2.60 with barely any room left on that rear tire. Beefy tires are nice but personally atleast on the rear I'd probably size down to a 2.50 or 2.40 just so there's a bit more room so the seat tube isn't caked with mud. It was a great idea to add that frame protector film on the seat tube.
Yeah they really went all out with the tire size.
That saddle and the bars were the first things I replaced.
I changed my seat after the first week, the handle bars are ok, I like them.
@@CleoCoal I kinda replaced everything....except the frame.
I have a Schwinn Axum 1-8 speed it’s dropper post ready mine is the blackish gray color with gold sparkles? Inside the paint absolutely love this bike. We have the same bike but mines a different color for the price of the bike. I think it’s a awesome value. Yes I agree the bike seat there’s not much comfort in it If you know what I mean, you should just go to Walmart and get a bicycle seat gel cover. And put that on you’re gonna be happy with it. The bike is very very fast. I love the big fat tires. It’s really good for a grip. Great video my friend.
I have the same frame. I've really upgraded mine though.
I've got the same one had it for about two weeks now. Love it . Got rid of the seat after the first week and it's been a joy to ride.
Are there changes from earlier than 2023 year models of the Axum DP? Also are Schwinn bikes still available direct from Schwinn? I know they ship free. The web generally only says where retail stores carry this bike.
There seems to be no changes to the Axums for 2023. The Axum is a Walmart exclusive, so no, you can't order directly from Schwinn.
@@vitok-20 I wish Schwinn would offer just frames so I can get a 17in Axum frame
The derailleur is junk on the axum bike. Mine broke on day one after dropping the chain. Cost me another $200 to take it to a bike shop to be fixed
I had to replace my derailleur and had to buy a matching cassette for the new derailleur. I actually like the new cassette better.
Only dropped the chain a couple of times but once is too many, I am having so much fun with this bike that I don't want to waste riding time wateing for the shop to replace something that hasn't become a problem yet but I changed that horrible seat after the first week.
Sounds a whole lot better. I was wondering if I could do it without removing the front bumper. So excited to do this thank you!
You can! Just remove the screws holding the left fender liner to the front bumper and it's easily accessible.
You have a link to the oil catch can you used?
Here it is on Amazon. www.amazon.com/EVIL-ENERGY-Universal-Reservoir-Aluminum/dp/B081N392BN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=14U3YXFH9DTIA&keywords=evil%2Benergy%2Boil%2Bcatch%2Bcan&qid=1695089644&sprefix=evil%2Benergy%2Boil%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
Can I put one in a jeep?
Yes
Can u take out front tyres out easily? I want to remove them n put inside car
Yes the front wheel is a quick release axle.
That's a nice trail. Where is it?
It's a Mazda 3 bro, not a race car.
It needs a clutch........They put them on cheaper bikes why not this one.
I slice the box and use it to work on to save my knees and the paint....I replaced the pedals with Fooker pedals.
I CANNOT find the size M version anywhere. All I found was size L which is too big.
Here is the Internet link to the medium-frame DP model. They don't make a medium-framed base model. If you are trying to find one inside a Walmart store, Axums are known to be very hard to find. I would just order one online. www.walmart.com/ip/Schwinn-29-in-Axum-DP-Mens-Mountain-Bike-Blue-17-in-Frame/793547014?athcpid=793547014&athpgid=AthenaItempage&athcgid=null&athznid=si&athieid=v0&athstid=CS004&athguid=3ktwQXdEsDjNiLvEzblZ3db7aRLLCbZZ3pC5&athancid=288838682&athena=true
@@vitok-20 Oh. OK. Thanks. I’ll just forget it at this point.
I took a hacksaw to cut the size of the seat down to fit me better.
@@Randy-ry9ss That wasn’t my problem. The frame itself was too big. I couldn’t safely straddle it.
@@bikdav the Kent Trouvaille comes in a medium frame.......The Schwinn Boundary is also a great choice
Great vid, let's get rowdy!!🔥
What size bike did you get?
The large, which is the 19 inch frame.
@VitoK-22 what's your height? I'm 5.5 and can't find one of them on size medium. Do you think a large would be ok for me?
@@samochoa6733 I'm over 5'11" and this bike fits me perfect but for anyone shorter I would not recommend at all. Here is a link to the DP model in the 17 inch frame which should fit you much better. Looks like they don't make the base model with the 17 inch frame, so you have the get the DP version, which I believe is a much better value anyways: www.walmart.com/ip/Schwinn-29-in-Axum-DP-Mens-Mountain-Bike-Red-17-in-Frame/700464317?from=/search
@VitoK-22 thanks for the info.
The mazda content that we all needed
I got a axum dp and I completely overhauled it, it's like a completely different bike
Then why not just buy a different bike to begin with?
@@lambertj.2892 because some of us like upgrading bikes. I have the OG Axum ( bought it in 2020) and there's not much on it still stock.
I have an Axum DP and it is my favorite racing bike. Have a great day
Chain Reaction Cycles just had Brand-X Ascend Dropper seat posts on sale for $66 around or right after this video came out. Sale seems to be over now though. The saddle is terrible I rode this bike for a while last year. I immediately put a Volt on and hydraulic breaks and those two changes alone make the bike the bike 5x better. I never switched the drive train and didn't have problems dropping chains but remember spending a while tweaking the shifting off the shelf. The cranks started making a little clicking after only a couple rides but it's not bad enough to notice unless you are going really slow on smooth pavement. I wouldn't actually change anything in that regard until something breaks.
Thank you for your insight. I'll check out Chain Reaction cycles for that dropper!
How tall are you? The AXUM that I tried for fit was too big.
@@bikdav I'm 5'9". I thought stand over was maybe the toughest part. I shortened to the stem to a 45mm (if I remember the size right) and put 760mm bars with an 8° backsweep of something like that and the reach didn't feel too bad IMO. If I had a dropper or was trying to ride rougher stuff I might have been annoyed at not being able to get the seat post a little lower... Speaking of which I forgot to say that I cut the seat post so I could drop it down to the frame. I basically I only had it extended a couple inches when riding. A size M may have been better but I bought the bike before the size options came out
@@bikdav I don't know why you couldn't drop the seat very low at all without cutting the seatpost down a bit. Seemed kind of dumb.
@@Accuracy158 That answers a lot of questions. I didn’t see any other size except the size L (or whatever they call it). I couldn’t safely fit on them.
Interesting, definitely sounds nicer. I went to slightly different route with my 2020 Nissan kicks that made an enormous difference. I removed a little bit of the plastic above the grill, that was preventing more air from coming into the engine bay, then I took out the resonator and airbox was left with a huge hole and a tube coming off the engine. Installed an adapter for the mass air flow sensor, then install a K&N cone filter, put a bracket for a little bit of support. Basically a DIY Ram air intake. The air filter is almost right in front of the grill, I'm not blowing any Corvettes away off the line but, much more power, Better Sound and a little bit better gas mileage, it even runs cooler. In my car I think it's making such a big difference because the stock setup was just that bad.
That's awesome.
Hey Vito, it's me again, your FLorida grandma Grace. I really like watching your videos. Can't wait to see the new bike in action and whatever you have coming up next. Happy Thanksgiving.
