Finally seeing someone do a Mazda 3 and it coming out decent. I’ve needed ideas since I’m new to the community and I haven’t been able to find anything useful so thank you guys!
I have a feeling as time goes on the Mazda 3 of this era is going to be one of those forgotten gems that is going to be on peoples list, I certainly want one
My 08 is on her last summer. Sitting in the snow and salt 6 months a year since 13 years. Even the rust treatment is not enough. Will grab a 2018 gt lease return in two months for 17k.
Respect all builds. I’m in the process of modding my Mazda 3 sedan. I’m doing it to make my dreams come true. Not for anyone to like it. If it makes me happy idc about nothing else. But I will say this. Not rice looking.
Samir has a nice build. Gen 1s are such great daily drivers that you can easily build👍 also the black headliner really makes the interior looks premium how did he do the headliner black ?
Can you explain a little more on the OBD2 install? I want to put mine in the same spot but I'm a little confused on what to cut out. Also will the heat/ac affect it?
Sweet vid! See, there is no reason to say, Mazda speed is top choice, no. Top choice is what you make of your vehical especial on personal customization. 👌
My next motor will be another Mazda. I currently drive a 12 plate Mazda 2 and I love it. Am now thinking of buying a Mazda 3 but not sure what year....I can buy the older shape but the MPS edition or I can buy a newer shape but more like a 2.0 skyactiv Or the GT Sport that's running a 180 BHP stock.
Interior light is a good first little mod and it wasn’t a lot like 15$ I got red but I’m pretty sure he got bright led those looked nice to brighter then the original lights 🤣
Nice car dude! So clean. I have a Mazda 3 too and want to paint my interior. How did you painted your sun visor and the light switching things in your car?
Sick build. Looks really nice. Guys i have a question. Are Mazda3 2008 still good today? I got here coz im looking for a car to learn and play with. Options are Honda civic vti2000 vs mazda3 2008. Idunno why They are valued just the same despite the gap of age. Pls i need some opinions guys.
Hey curious question. I want to replace my Bumper on my 08 Mazda 3, cause it's just so broken from being old and was hit 2 days before Christmas last year, so most of the taps are broken. But I thought to take the opportunity to switch to a S Model Bumper (The type in this video) but I'm not sure if a i Sport and a S Sport Bumpers can be swapped like that due to being slightly altered if that. If you know the answers I'd apperciate the response. (For record I did try Google and there's no clear answer or it's for different models/setups) Keep up the videos my dude. Love what he's done to his Mazda 3
I have a few video's covering Racelands. In the end, they ended up being the worst thing to me. The ride quality after break in period was so bouncy it was actually kind of funny, one of the rear shock bushings tore out of the lower shock mount. Not impressed.
@@ColtonRichter oh damn. what you recommend for a 2013 mazda 3? i looked at bc racing and lots of people said they rode super rough and were poorly made.
Yo I got that same autool and was gonna put it in the same place but when he said “cut my vent” I assume he means he cut the vent doors off? But how did he run the cord from the top vent back through? Drill??
Basically drilled a hole from the upper vent into the lower vent and ran it inside like that,and ya remove the vent flaps and u may need to like just cut a tab inside or something
@@samirhilal192 word, that’s what I was thinking but didn’t wanna go to drilling then someone be like “just take this piece out” lmao. Love your car bro. Don’t be surprised if I come back with some more questions 😅
geobrakes.com/#/Home Bought a Sports brake kit! The man I spoke with was very helpful in answering questions as well as helping in finding the best deal with 3 years warranty for my 2016 ford f150.
Some added options as per year like bigger OEM wheels, different front bumper skin, fog lights, sun roofs, possible HID head lights, 2.3L motor, leather seats, heated seats, etc.
@@ColtonRichter and since I’ve got you here I just bought an 06 Mazda3 i dont have a huge budget but it looks like shit and I’d like to make it look a lot like the one in the video, any recommendations on places to shop to get mods that won’t break the bank?
Hi, great sedan, looks great! Are the taillights like this? Where did you buy it? www.carid.com/2004-mazda-3-taillights/spyder-tail-lights-led-2008996231.html#reviews

Good luck my man!
Just did a 2.5 engine swap. Highly recommend it.
Bro message me got a lot of questions
How can I contact you regarding this?
Samir has a nice build. Gen 1s are such great daily drivers that you can easily build👍 also the black headliner really makes the interior looks premium how did he do the headliner black ?
Pulled it out and sprayed it with fabric black spray!
Did he have to pull the windshield to do that?
Nice Mods. Thanks for the Video. 💪👍
Can you explain a little more on the OBD2 install? I want to put mine in the same spot but I'm a little confused on what to cut out. Also will the heat/ac affect it?

Those headlights are fire I wanna get some new headlights for my 07 build

Thats one sexy Mazda 3
The lights are so nice...

Samir's a gem
Thank you sir
not gonna lie i see lots of mazda mods and yet i feel like mine just hits different i do love this mazda though no hate from me i love it
Can Samir explain how he got the led lights to work inside the door card ? I wanna know how to run the wires cleanly
Ran the wires through the existing grommet from the OEM harness that leads into the cabin
My dude needs to get involved in the sound system scene / custom sub + amps etc etc
Right!?
Nice car dude! So clean. I have a Mazda 3 too and want to paint my interior. How did you painted your sun visor and the light switching things in your car?
Light switch was plastidiped as I did that way before the headliner and the sun visors I just spray painted with black paint lol
Dope!!!
Just sold my Jeep Wrangler, picked up an 09 sedan, in the crazy like almost Fiji blue, can’t wait to rip the 5 speed 2.0
Love that color !

Samir your breaking the car !!, LISTEN TO ME SAMIR
Where can I get custom headlights and tailights!!! Been searching everywhere. It is the las mod I want 🤞🏾
I'll be building custom ones soon, check out CarID.com as well!

yo colton, big fan been watchin for a while now. was wondering if you had an opinion on raceland coilovers?
Put them in my car and I’ve loved them and had no issues.
I have a few video's covering Racelands.

@@ColtonRichter oh damn. what you recommend for a 2013 mazda 3? i looked at bc racing and lots of people said they rode super rough and were poorly made.
That corks port intake caused my check engine light to come on for maf high input. Was driving me crazy I thought my maf sensor was bad.
Never had an issue myself, but interesting!
@@ColtonRichter ya i had it on for nearly a year and I was driving one day and the car started driving awful
@@rainydaysroofer9474 haven’t had a issue with mine yet but sometimes it just takes a ecu reset to fix
How did he get oil temperature from the OBD II? I can't find it in OBD torque or other android apps.
Depends what your OBD reader can provide
Were the headlights custom made by you? Or did you find them online? Been looking for some forever but I only find the headlights led strips
He custom made them :)
@@ColtonRichter they look dope 🔥🔥 good for him

Higher trim levels came with an "auto" switch on your headlight selector.
How’s the drone with the 2nd cat & muffler delete?
