Discoburg Supersonic September 3, 2021 Share September 3, 2021 (edited) 13 hours ago, KennethWong2021 said: @DOBIEMKZ thanks for the info. I am also trying to find out how to connect my cam to a power bank. Dun think mine can. I am not recording for 2 days straight but just morning and afternoon for Sat and Sun. Wondering if that would drain my car battery alot or not. Be careful. There are articles that the power banks causes fire in the car due to overheat. Just go for a better car cam like the iRoad. For mine it will record overnight till I get to the car at 8am next morning from 6pm when I parked.

Still not comfortable with the idea of having external batteries, especially with our hot climate. For continuous recording, I've been using voltage regulators to help cut off from the car battery, for both my previous and current cars. So far don't see any issue in terms of car bettery life, easily last 2-3 yrs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermes_1 Neutral Newbie September 4, 2021 Share September 4, 2021 @Discoburg nope. Mine is just the standard 1.5L HB 2018 model. I am looking to upgrade my stock rims of 16” to 17” but worry about the lag and much higher fuel consumption. Hence want to hear from everyone here if they have made this upgrade? 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think your fc will change much with just 1 size rim upgrade. Main thing that affect fc is actually the route you travel (whether there is a lot of stop and go) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebutcher 5th Gear September 5, 2021 Share September 5, 2021 @Hermes_1 upgrading by an inch won't make much of a difference la bro. Just go for the rims you like and you will feel good about your ride, which is priceless, imo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel the lag and increase in fuel consumption? Seeking advice and comments. Thanks in advanced! 🙂 Don't understand your question. The larger the rim, the heavier the rim and tyres. It would consume more fuel to move them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoiu can key in car seat cushion mazda 3 to narrow down the results specific to the car.
