    The 07 Mazda 3 was my 1st car as well and you said it perfectly...no regrets and still have it. I hope you continue to make content on this car.

    I have a 2007 Mazda 3 2.0 car and swapped the 2.5 in it and that was probably my favorite mod so far

    My son is studying to be a car mechanic. When he told his teacher what I drive, teacher got excited and said that the Mazda 3 2.0l sedans are becoming difficult to find.
    I can tell as exterior parts are becoming difficult to find. I want a body kit for mine but nothing too (need for speed) extreme. Just to make her look a bit more closer to the ground. I dont want to roll the fenders. She's low enough atm. Havent been disappointed with performance yet tho. She can be quite fast when I need her to be.

    If money and resources wasn't an issue and you were ABLE to do so, would you:
    A. Rebuild the engine and go turbo/sc
    B. Replace with something fairly similar in size like a Honda engine or Toyota variant
    Just curious

    Hello Colton, could you please add a link to the main headlights in the video description? Unfortunately, I can't find them anywhere on eBay.
    Funny enough, before you posted the video about your side markers, I had already ordered the same markers on eBay, what a coincidence.
    Best regards,

      You can’t get much power out of the 2.0 and 2.3 engines it’s not worth it the 2.5 swap Is cheap and they have a better base for mods and turbos

      I got a drivability tune on my 2nd gen 2.5 by a guy local to me who specialises in RX-8s, but also works on other Mazdas. Doesn't add much power, especially if it's auto (mine only makes 136.6 WHP with the tune, but I saw a manual one make about 160 WHP with the same tune 🥲), but makes it more enjoyable to drive. It also disables unnecessary stuff like EGR, etc, and allows you to rev it up to 7K RPM (stock only goes up to about 6.5K). This guy tuned plenty of other NA 3s, some of which were track cars that won their class in the Bathurst 6 Hour races here in Australia.

    • @eventhorizonperformance
      @eventhorizonperformance 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@DJBla2e01 That's pretty terrible numbers for a 2.5. With a manual, most of them bone stock put out over 150whp easy with matching torque. With full bolt ons & tune, 170-180whp is the norm. If you throw a set of cams in the motor, you're looking at over 200whp and starting to compete with the K series Hondas. If the auto trans sucks that much power, I really feel bad for you.

I love it so much that if I had the money saved I would definitely put a new trans in but didn’t save money. People were offering my $175-$300 to sell. I’m like heck no it’s not even worth that sell price.

Having this madza 3 has really fuel my passion for learning about cars especially my own and also not to trust all mechanics because I had paid for a tune up I feel like last year with some work I got done on it but funny because the mechanic I paid the tune up didn’t want to diagnose my problem when I asked can I bring it in

    Everything but the engine huh? Need to get on that 2.5 swap. You will definitely notice the power difference in a 1st gen sedan. 170-180whp & tq with bolt ons + tune. Over 200whp with a set of cams. It's not MS3 power, but you don't need that much power to have fun. 2.5s are cheap and readily available from Ford donors.
