Replying to: npaladin2000 (Jul 06, 2004 4:15 pm) Well its the middle of summer - average temps of 75 - the car is brand new - I'd hate to see what this winter is going to be like!

#657 of 4533 Style issue by triacs Jul 07, 2004 (4:18 am)
I am going to buy a Mazda 3s even though I think that those "cones" in front of the dashboard gauges are ugly. You think it is possible to remove those? Replies to this message: npaladin2000 (Jul 07, 2004 4:46 am) triacs (Jul 07, 2004 5:50 am)

Replying to: fitzy75 (Jul 07, 2004 3:52 am) Well, let me put it this way. I'm renting a Malibu Classic, with a 2.2l Ecotec in it, while my Mazda3 is in the body shop. It takes about a second less to start up. But I can't tell because the engine sounds so rough and clatter-y. Given the choice, I'll take an extra second of cranking, if it means the engine doesn't sound like it's going to fall apart.

Replying to: triacs (Jul 07, 2004 4:18 am) "Cones?" Huh? What the BLEEP are you taking about cones? I don't see no cones! Replies to this message: triacs (Jul 07, 2004 5:50 am)
#660 of 4533 Major areas of paint damage? by zoomzoom_girl Jul 07, 2004 (5:28 am)
Hello. I am getting 3M protective coating applied to my new Mazda3 Sport GT and wanted to know which areas you would recommend covering. Would the back of the wheel wells or the front be more susceptible to chips?

Replying to: npaladin2000 (Jul 07, 2004 4:46 am) On a normal car, the only thing between you and the instrument gauges is a piece of glass. On the Mazda 3, there are these ugly tubes, like something out of the old movie "Metropolis". That is what I meant by the "cones".

They are to shade the gauges from the sunlight.. Almost all cars have them in one form or another. I'm sure you could remove them, if you don't mind taking a chainsaw to your dash?

Replying to: kledoux (Jul 07, 2004 5:09 am) 1) Remove fuse that controls it (but it may disable other functions too). 2) Wire cutters. 3) Put on your seatbelt.

Replying to: kledoux (Jul 07, 2004 5:09 am) I think that "(3) Put on your seatbelt" from above would be your best bet. Not only is it easy, there is no need to tamper with your car's electrical system. It also offers some added safety benefit. Something to think about, maybe?   In all seriousness, I think there is a way to disable the seatbelt warning system. You might want to search around in the other Mazda3 forums to see if you can find something.   Regardless, try to wear your seatbelt.
