Drink hot coco. Eat cup noodles.

Looks like a new thread starting...

101 things you can keep warm in your center console...

1) Keep food warm
2) Keep Cup noodles warm
3) Dry your socks
4) Mamak...air suam satu.... :D

 

I took my car for a Change of Tail pipe and they took out half of the Exhaust ..

Went under the car and saw the heat shield that they install during the recall.

Its a semi circle curve plate install between the Muffler and the car.

I found out that the same type of heat is already there between the whole pipe and the center console.

So I guess Mazda has already take precaution by installing a heat shield over the whole pipe and the only part they did not do is a heat shield plate over the muffler., and they are doing it now for this recall..

So the heat shield has now cover the entire exhaust pipe system.

Although it does shield off some heat. but its still a piece of metal plate and heat will still be conducted on this plate and pass on to the center console. (no insulation between the plate and car)

 

change of tail pipe is aesthetic? or performance related?

JUST for the looks, . nothing got to do with performance..

It only cost me S$130 for a larger diameter tailpipe. How to get performance with S$130??

 

Try the new Foo Fighters CD, disk 1, it's within budget and will definitely get yer motor runnin' on the highway

 

can lah, bro..... u like can oredi...... psychologically, it has given u the gain liao!!!

the look same same as charles?? if same, nice!!

 

Heard from a dealer that there were cases of the fuel tank being deformed from the heat..

 

can... $130 to saw the whole exhaust pipe off... Straight thru... to hell with the CC and muffler... car also lighter. :p oh yes.. I almost forgot... loud.. damn loud...

 

I agree...go for it...and would still have enough left over to top up yer cash card :p

Singapore wanted S$300 for the bigger size one.

 

This is to the owers who has got their car from PIs.

Have PIs resolve the recall issuses?

Care to give a little updates?

Cause mine seems to take a little long getting back.

Cheers.

 

have to wait till Sep... that's what mine said.

 

I have sent my ride to the designated workshop (Sportswagon Auto @ Ubi) for inspection.

I was told by the the mechanic that after the inspection, they will feedback to Mazda Japan. When asked about whether my ride need to replace any parts? The answer is no need!

Is this so? juz visual inspection & able to determine whether to replace parts? Is is a compulsory to replace the parts that are mentioned in the recall? What if dun give way now but later, how? I am puzzled really puzzled!

Btw....my ride is from PI (HY) & with the (1) & (2) problem.. any bros ride are from HY and what is your outcome? How about those from other PIs.....

 

Not every car needs to have parts replaced... you have to check your vin number.. Some cars need parts and heat shield, some cars just need heat shield. I think they are checking for cracks and welding quality..

 

mine having both.......

 

Well I got my car from the same PI and they said wait till sep for recall. If not you can try garage R... next best place (after mm) to get it done but they are booked solid.

 

Does anyone buy from Car Times?
I may need to give them the whole list of VIN number .... will not accept the car if fall within the list...

Just try my luck..... afterall they are one of the reliable PI.... read from the magazine.. as for Pinicale (does it spell this way?)....phew..... lots of problem....give empty promise for the last car my family have purchase.... WORST.... purchasing from someone I know... PHEW x 2....

 

Dun need to cry...... S$107XXX is w/o GST.......

 

Same go to me but i make a serious complain on the issue and they call me back n promised to install the heat shield in two weeks time once the parts arrive. When i send in my ride after received their recall letter i was vary pissed off with their mechanic, they just lift up my ride n just do a visual inspection that all n said everything is fine, wasting my time so in order to replaced the heat shield lodge a complain.

 

Yup ... same for me too.... up the ramp ... shine light ... drop car.... sign here....

KNS... I also can do..

I go complain tomorrow.....
