Bought a Mazda 3 2.5 liter 2009 and love the thing so much that I stumbled upon your channel and they’re helpful for ideas and just knowing my car before I start adding to it
Iv had my 09 mazda3 iSpeed automatic for 4 years now and I love it! Its at about 182,000miles and still driving great. Im just now starting to consider modding it after realizing I wanna keep it for as long as I can
the 07 mazda 3 was my first car and it got rear ended and totaled, it always made me smile no matter what and gave its life for mine, i miss being able to drive it everyday
I’ve been watching you for a while now. You’ve taught me so much and I wanted to thank you. Your videos are edited really well and your Chanel deserves more subscribers and views.
I have a 1.6 Mazda 3 ts2 for my first car and these vids really help for deciding upgrade options for things like suspension and cosmetics etc, keep up the hard work bro, amazing build
Ive been watching you for awhile now, even having a 1st gen speed 3 right now this makes me want a Sedan 3 just to play with and make a smooth machine like this one.
I just bought my first car for 1200 a 2006 Mazda 3 I’m super proud of it considering it only took me 2 paychecks to purchase this car. I’m watching videos on it to come up with some ideas
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.
Car looks 🔥🔥 bro. still working on my daily 08 Mazda sedan, the adjustable end links is what I need now (stock ones snapped) with spacers of course. Had this car for almost two years and I still love it like the day I got it lol like you said it’s not fast but it’s *chefs kiss* 😂
Good update on things. This car is so clean and awesome. I like the face lift idea, probably will consider a SP20 sport front bumper from a sedan and do a conversion for my BG.
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, Tom
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.
@@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.
My purple madza tranny starting to slip😔 but I brought the car 2019 now 2024 it started to happen yesterday, so not to mad it still lasted me New Jersey trips, Newyork, Delaware, PA and Uber and Walmart delivery for about 2 years out of the 5. 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.
@@ColtonRichter yes but since I been watching your videos a lot of videos had came along and I learned about the TCM in these things. I’m going rebuild/replace that before giving up on her. Inexpensive option and possibly can do the trick.
@@ColtonRichter hey Colton I’m back good news my car talked to me, my check engine light came on. Threw me the codes and turns out ignition coil so I think everything I thought was transmission was my engine but I still might do that tcm swap since those are still known to go out. 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.
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

Nice!
my first buys for my mazda 3 hatch was strut bar, sway bars, coilovers, tires, an intake. Currently saving for the wheels and corksport exhuast
Nice upgrades!
2008 Mazda 3 2.0 manual extended shift stick with straight pipe owner love that sound
cooooooooooool
It was also my first car ❤️ cheers bro 🥂
Btw I like your wheels and open mouth grille 💯
Thanks brother ✌🏻
I personally love the white rims and tires you had before. Your car looks awesome!
Thanks! I miss them sometimes too 🖤

Again awesome content 🎉🎉
Put my Miata on the road last week.
Need to find a top
That's this year's event.
Can't wait for the merch.
It's finally time for a top eh 😂😂😂
Informative video as always.
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
Probably swap in a DISI from the MazdaSpeed 3

Hey I was looking for advice about performance mod like a tune do you know any good routes for that for a 2010 mzr
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
A few tune providers online, headers extremely rare, intakes available and advanced timing options.
@@Thatmz3on estimate how much would that run me

Do I have to change all of my lights set if I were to get those bumper and lip?
And is the lip also called 07-09 gt?
Fog light housings are meant for that specific bumper, lip is on eBay
brother I have a 2005 Mazda 3 with a naturally aspirated 2.3L engine, do you think it is very complicated, to put the turbo of a Mazda Speed 2005 ?
Yes, but it's do able
Can i put wheel rims from the mazda 3 2nd gen on my mazda 3 1st gen? My car has 15' rims and those from the 2nd gen are 16'
Yes
Do you do engine bay mods? Would be cool to see a video on mods for your engine. 👌🏼
Not a whole lot, only a cold air intake in there ✌🏻
U could leave up the link of the product’s u bought from eBay or stuff in the description
Lots of links in descriptions of videos I have done in the past 😊
brother please drop the link for that 07-09 GT Bumper that’s what i’m looking forr!
Wrecker yard
Where can I find those headlights?!!
th-cam.com/video/iiTg5s5Ql84/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eQa7gKZnuRKM7Hew
What is the name of the grill, brother, how do I look for it, and where?
Duraflax open mouth grille

Hello friend, could you help me, if it is worth modifying a Mazda 3 with miles 3601251
Wow that's a well used car!
I liked your videos, and it gave me a lot of effort to modify my car, do you think it would be worth modifying it?
Maybe a little old for me personally, but that's up to you!
Please, what exhaust is it😭
(Could you make a list of the parts on your car?)

Do you think that a Mazda 3 from these years would hold up as a reliable car today? Assuming that it has 100k miles already on it.
Yes, that's why I still have mine lol
You know it 😂😂😂😂
ohhh how could you forget the exhaust !
I knoowwwwww 😂
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.
For sure, definitely an option for someone if they want to dive into this platform
how much hp does this mazda have
148hp
I thought it would have more when u have cold air intake and exhaust done, didnt u tune it after ?
No tune, but they don't add any power and if they did not much at all
