Good for you on getting it fixed under warrenty. And there where a few more than just the two who blew stock motors....these motors are WAY to easy to pop.
Oh, guys, who cares how modded his car is, was, or ever will be. I think here on this forum, we should all be on the same side, when it comes to warrenty issues with Mazda...we should all want to get stuff fixed for free...or do people not like free? I mean, all of the guys who have popped motors, learned from it, as I'm sure this guy will, and then make the car better. The fact that he got it fixed for free is awesome, cause now the cash he woulda spent on repair, goes to making a stronger engine. Soooo, I say lets all just be friends(cept in the dumoster...mwuahahahaha). And stop jumping to conclusions(right or wrong) and let the owner and Mazda worry about the warrenty...cool?
