Any angle for discounted Mazda OEM parts?

[JingChuan]

The reason I ask (other than generally being cheap) is that I got used to getting Audi parts discounted (avg 15%) just mentioning my membership in the local Audi club. And when we got the jetta, I joined some corporate VW owners club, and I got huge discounts on certain parts (e.g., 50% off a heated mirror element - no kidding!) Most of my other recent cars that I modded usually came with the advantage of a relative or two working for the respective companies, so those weren't official discounts, but, you know...

I did sign up for some Mazdausa website thing, but I'm not sure if that comes with any monetary bennies. No big deal, just curious though. I can think of a few OEM items I'd like to pick up.

As in the Mazdausa site, are you talking about Mazdamotorsports? If you do two racing events a year, you qualify and get discounts on OEM parts.

Check out some of our dealer sponsers for the forum. They give quite good discounts for internet sales to forum members.

A friend of mine who is a long-time RX-7 driver told me about this. I haven't been able to find the registration for that program. But in the meantime, I got to thinking about Mazda & the warranty issues I keep hearing about. If you prove to them that you autocross at least twice a year, willl they sell you Mazdaspeed parts at a discount & then void your warranty for racing?

I ask with tongue in cheek, but not entirely...

Wow, muchas gracias!!!

Now to decide if my warranty paranoia or my mod bug wins out...
