Any creative car enthusiast performs tuning on his "swallow". Mazda 3 is no exception, despite the initially high quality. And no matter how ideal the vehicle, there is no limit to perfection, perfectionists say.
Sedan and hatchback exterior tuning
With your own hands, it’s quite possible to do outdoor tuning. "Mazda 3" hatchback and it is in the sedan body differ from each other in appearance. The body kit for each type of body is different. So, on the sedan, voluminous front and rear bumpers are installed , as well as elongated door sills. For the hatchback, the body kits are more elegant, and after their installation the car acquires "female" features, but this does not prevent men from feeling more confident behind its wheel.
Another feature that distinguishes the body of a sedan and a hatchback is the wing. In the first version, a massive and pressing spoiler is installed on the trunk lid. But in the second - a smooth and streamlined wing, which is mounted on double-sided tape over the rear window. This increases the streamlining and aerodynamic qualities of the car.
This does not end there, but only the external tuning begins. Mazda 3 is easily equipped with alternative optics. In tuning and online stores you can find a wide variety of alternative headlights. They are installed on regular seats and do not require modification of the mount.
We continue to consider possible tuning. In terms of optics, the Mazda 3 hatchback is different from the sedan, since both versions have different seats and the shape of the rear lights.
Painting and airbrushing for both bodies are carried out identically. First, the car is completely painted in mother of pearl or metallic, then a drawing is applied to the surface, which completes the external tuning. "Mazda 3", a photo of which is presented in the article, is a clear example of one of the options for airbrushing.
Chip tuning
To refine the engine, motorists conduct chip tuning. There are many options for improving the operation of the main power unit. The main ones are programming the control unit and installing the chip. Both of these improvements affect the performance and dynamics of the Mazda 3. Chip tuning of this machine is aimed at:
- power increase;
- improved economy;
- revision to start at low temperature.
All three types are carried out identically. A special configuration PC is connected to the car through a special cable. Then, through the computer, the motor is adjusted, as well as the setting of certain parameters.
Replacing the tobe ECU chip is included in the tuning. "Mazda 3" after installing the part is flashed using a special PC. This part is precisely responsible for the operation of the power unit in various settings.
Interior refinement
Finalization of the Mazda 3 is the easiest part of tuning. A lot of things do not need to be redone, since the car is already comfortable. Some motorists install Sparko sports seats and seat belts. An integral part of interior tuning remains the installation of a multimedia system. Thus, the car becomes attractive and melodic.
As a rule, the luggage compartment is pulled. It installs a multimedia center control unit, as well as a subwoofer. Especially for these parts, craftsmen make the case.
For lovers of a complete revolution of the salon, a tuning studio will offer a total upgrade. Tightened seats, ceiling, racks, and carpet changes. The instrument panel is additionally equipped with an oil level sensor, the state of suspension shock absorbers, the degree of car tilt, coolant temperature, and others. The steering wheel is replaced by a multimedia sports steering wheel.
Brake system upgrade
Improving the braking system of the Mazda 3 does not require large financial costs and efforts. The first thing that drivers do is change calipers, pads and brake drums front and rear. The next step is to install a sports hand brake. The bulk of tuning masters recommend installing brake tuning kits from the manufacturers JP, ATI, Brembo and Sparko.
When tuning the brake system, it is worth considering that these spare parts must be adjusted and adjusted, so it is recommended to contact professionals. So, the brake pads have wear sensors that are connected to the computer. But for the correct installation, you need to make changes to the software. Unlike standard pads, where the part changes if the residual thickness of the spare part is 1.5 mm, the allowable wear of the sports elements of the brake system is 1 mm.
