2024 Mazda3 Turbo - The First Mods You Need 

Lights look nice

Nice video but I have one question. The lights above the climate control where is the power coming from? Where did you connect it?

@@MrBeeasy25 All of the dash lights connect into a single harness that runs behind the dash itself. The wire you're thinking of comes up to the right of the gauge cluster; when you pop out that piece of trim you'll see where I mean.

I wish it had LED DRL Fog lights

@@Sleepymazda999u can activate halos as drl i think

This is the only thing I felt my Mazda 3 was missing. Other than that, the interior is honestly better than most cars that are worth $100k+ IMO :)

@@BenjiiBee its a good car but that's an unhinged take. what did you even compare it with?

Mazda doesnt need this things... Mazda is class, not Mercedes 😂😂😂

Appreciate the feedback, that means a lot!

howd you go?

Appreciate the support!

Thanks dude! Super impressed with how it came out myself

omg I’m OB$E$$ED 😭😭😭

My pleasure, i’m really happy you enjoyed!

My pleasure to help! The instructions MikStore send with the kit don't actually explain how to remove any of the panels, they just show where to put the lights thus why I wanted this video to be so detailed.

@@outrunyt Makes sense. I remember taking a look at that just because I'm interested in doing some ambient lighting on the dash too. This will also make that easier :)

My pleasure! It’s honestly not a bad install just take your time and if you have any questions when doing it just hmu on instagram! Always happy to answer questions

You’ll love them, feels like a spaceship at night!

Lmk if you have any more questions!

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I was thinking of doing the CorkSport intake setup, do you think it’s worth the cash?

It depends on what you want. I wanted a little more noise without my 3 sounding too crazy from the start with a cat back exhaust (Although I plan on getting that too anyways in a few months). You can hear the turbo much better and makes driving the hatch much more fun imo. But I would highly recommend getting the heatshield with it. I spent $399 all together for SRI/shield and that's after taxes/shipping. Many say their fastest times have been with the SRI + heatshield installed to go with the other mods out there like JB4/cat back exhaust. These times range from 4.8sec-5.2sec 0-60s. Without the heatshield...maybe you would experience a slight loss in performance and see slower times but not sure so I got it just to be on the safe side. Of course you also need a JB4 and exhaust for those times just to clarify. Basically if you want the car to feel more alive from a performance standpoint, go for it. Reliability seems to be pretty good overall, I've only seen positives of having all 4 of these mods from almost everyone who has all 4 which is about 20 different people. The only negatives come from spectators who ironically still are stock and read one bad review from someone who didnt install correctly lol. Instructions for installation are like pre school level, super easy. It's up to you!!! ✌️

@@outrunyt I got the corksport SRI too, i honestly think it's worth it. The sound it makes when you let off boost is phenomenal and it definitely turns heads.

@@jaymarquis3482 I got the CS 80mm cat back, Intake with heat shield, the CS spoiler, had the JB4 but I sold it and am waiting for the hard tune.

Sway bars and tower brace are next

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed!!

Thanks sm!

Just upgraded me gopro, might have to do that!

Happy have you here dude!

certified spaceship

Holes go right where it gets flat before the space for your hand on both sides. Don’t be afraid to do it yourself - I’m always on instagram too if you have any questions during the install!

They actually have a kit for the Mazda2! See if it’s compatible, be sweet to see

I actually have a video on exterior mods coming out next! Will cover side skirts, wings, and a few other things 😉

I recommend it, sweet ambiance at night

do my car but i dirve a 2014 mazda 3 gt

Appreciate it! Only gonna get better from here

Including CorkSport? Good info to have thanks a ton man

@@outrunyt corksport intake is bad. it has zero heat shield protection and makes your car slower lol. take a look at the mazda3 reddit and you’ll find a ton of information about mods and what not. the only items i plan on getting from corksport is their big brake kit, rear windshield wiper delete, and their midpipe. i went with a borla axleback instead because i think it sounds better, and i got it for a great deal. borla is coming out with an axleback for the turbo models soon if you’re interested.

@@bread6235 I haven’t found anything to suggest Corksport is bad besides this comment, can you link any information you have on the subject?

@@nickvencill7752 best information i can tell you to search up is why short ram intakes are bad. it’s completely exposed and RIGHT next to the engine, it’s taking in pretty much exclusively warm air and suffers from a ton of heat soak. if you want a bolt on intake DO NOT get CS. the CS intake would be good if you had a fully mounted & covered heat shield that has a tube that funnels to the bottom of the engine bay similar to the way the OEM and aFe intake does

Appreciate it! That Corksport turbo kit for the Gen 3 is looking pretty fresh ;)

They are! Solid customer support too, shipping just takes a long time because they’re over in the Philippines.

They actually make the same kit for the CX-30 as well

Thank you guys!

quality viewer

I’m probably going to end up wrapping them, thought hadn’t occurred to me when i had everything apart ironically

The door panels are the icing on the cake 😮‍💨

who let the dogs out

It’s not bad when you break it down! Well worth the effort

It’s 100% worth it - you can buy the full kit, solid or flowing, from MikStore’s online site: mikstoreph.com

Very very similar to the doors. They send you a fuse tap and it goes straight to one of the led control boxes. From there it’s an included wiring harness that plugs straight into the led strips

Bro leave my pet roach alone 💀😭

A direct link to their store has been in the description!

Appreciate it! The lights need the app to dictate when to turn on unless you install the included button that fits into one of the blanks to the left of the steering wheel. I couldn't figure our how to take the button assembly off but that is another option for toggling them on and off.

the pinnacle of relaxation

Good news, the brightness can be adjusted! I had it cranked for video purposes but when i’m driving it stays on 1%-5% brightness

Almost definitely not, unless you have a really cool dealer. I never had an issue with warranty on mine with them installed either so you should be fine

The end of the strip with the wiring is on the left of the dash piece and it goes down a rather large opening to the right of the gauge cluster, mirror that for the smaller dash panel on the left!

Appreciate it! No warranties voided for the North American market

I just uploaded a RU-vid Short about this actually! Give it a watch and if that doesn’t answer your question DM me

No problems as of yet! Also very hard to notice it when it’s off especially the doors since it replaces the factory trim. I’m going to be doing something on exterior mods next and showing you guys how to do some of that!

Appreciate that! The app is called “LED Lamp” and the program inside it is called “LED Car,” as long as you have that installed with Bluetooth on it should find the module and allow you to make changes

@@outrunyt Thank yoy

It doesn’t however they send you everything you need to just replace one of the taillight fuses with their lead so it’s nice and easy

and you shall have more

Thanks man! In regards to your question - I’d have to recheck the footage but there didn’t look like an easy way to pull off the leather piece but I could be wrong. The center dash trim would be super easy though and you can just buy the red piece from Mazda, not sure about the doors.

I’m in the same boat did you end up changing the trim of your cars door panel to red? I already did the dash so far

There’s a QR code on the main lighting control box that actually links to an app! Just make sure bluetooth is on and you use your phone to control all the effects and colors.

@@mezzb That would be incredible, alas it does not. The kit actually does come with a button you can place on a blank switch that can toggle it on and off without the app but I couldn't figure out how to take the switches apart lmao

@@outrunyt I recently installed this in my Mazda 3 Turbo, and I realized the the switch is actually just a capacitive button that you adhere to some interior trim, and it just turns that trim piece into a capacitive touch button. How did you get the app for controlling the lights? There wasn't any QR code on any of my control modules. Thanks!

If they made it, I would buy another one instantly. I miss my Turbo Hatch

Very easily done, it seems so overbearing at first but when you take it slow it’s very doable

Feels just as good as when I bought it, much better then my 80’s and 90’s Mazdas haha

You can set it up that way! Mine just used the app to turn it on and off instead of the car

The only ones that required drilling were the door handle lights and door storage pin lights. Everything else can be done without!

Absolutely, here you are: BEPN-V0-350A The car also has no new noises, creaks, cracks or otherwise. Not a single clip was broken throughout the entire process so everything is just how it was!

@@outrunyt thanks for product part number. I've asked about the cracks, noises etc because Mazda 3 BP is know for various noises that appear from gloves compartment, chair, infotaiment or laser projection area.

My orders typically ranged from 3-6 weeks depending on how big it was. The smaller stuff always showed up pretty quick

There’s a little channel on the drivers side of the Mazda3 lower console that u can snake the harness through and plug it into the main box. When u pop it up and poke around you’ll find it pretty quick

Tap into one of the one of the taillight fuses under the dash, they actually send you a fuse pigtail to use
