Um, wrong...Mazdaspeed parts are Mazda parts. Mazdaspeed is owned by Mazda, and therefore, the parts sold by Mazdaspeed carry and retain the mazda factory warranty.

Mazdaspeed parts in your Protege will not void your Mazda warranty...You are changing Mazda parts for different Mazda parts.

Not true. There were disclaimers on the MazdaSpeed parts web pages. If I bought the 21mm (or whatever size the bigger one was) rear anti-sway bar and put it on my P5 and it broke the brackets on the struts, I would be SOL. Read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page. MazdaSpeed Motorsports Development

Doesn't Mazdaspeed mods only apply to competition and not day-to-day use? From the disclaimer:
All suggested modifications and recommendations are intended solely for use on vehicles participating in off-highway competition events. Purchaser acknowledges that all Mazda vehicle warranties are voided if the vehicle is used in any Competition events. The purchaser accepts all responsibility for modifications to said vehicle(s) and all potential risks.

Yes true. Mazda bought Mazdaspeed in 1999. All Mazdaspeed parts are considered Mazda parts and will not void your warranty.

Mazdaspeed Motorsports (formerly known as Mazda Motorsports) is an entirely seperate entity. You can purchase some Mazdaspeed parts throught them, however, such as the cams. The 21mm rear sway bar is made by AWR, not Mazdaspeed, hence no warranty from Mazda...

My dealer told me that unless the Mazdaspeed parts were purchased THROUGH the mazda dealer, they would NOT be warrantied. I was going to have the mazdaspeed flywheel installed when I had my cluctch/pressure plate/flywheel replaced. If I had been able to order it through the dealer (they didn't have the PN in their computer yet) it WOULD be covered by the warranty, but if I had ordered the same flywheel from protege5online, it would NOT be covered.

Your dealer is being a-holes then. If it is a Mazda part they HAVE to warranty it, no matter what. They just want to charge you through the nose with dealer mark-up.

A Mazda part is a Mazda part, whether it is bought from your dealership or through an importer like Mazdaspeed Motorsports or Cork Sport. If it is a Mazda part, then it is a Mazda part with the Mazda warranty that must be honored by any Mazda dealer.

well yeah a mazda part will be warrantied if and only if the part is made for that car AND a mazda dealership puts it in.

b/c if you put the high compression pistons from the FS-ZE protege engine from japan and your car gets all ****** up then mazda will tell you to shove the car up your ass cuz they won't fix it. Those pistons are mazda parts but are not made for the US version of the protege. get me.

also if you by new cams for your car and install them your self and **** up your car yet again mazda will tell you to take a hike b/c it was your fault.

see mazda not only has a warranty on the parts but also the install too. b/c you can have the right parts but if there not installed right then that can **** up the car.

I'm tired of arguing this point, you obviously have no idea what I am saying.

The part is warrantied no matter what if it a Mazda part, regardless of what market the part is for, regardless if it is a specialized part. Mazda parts are warrantied by Mazda, period.

As for the install, any Mazda dealer, or authorized mechanic (read as not a dealership mechanic) can do the install and that will warranty the stuff that way.

That is it. There is no, "Well this part is out of a FS-ZE motor and we will not warranty it." If they do, they are breaking the laws put in place covering warranties. It is that simple.

Why is everyone jumping my case about this s***?? I simply point out that Mazdaspeed parts will not void your warranty and you all jump knee deep in my trash pulling crap out of your ass trying to prove me wrong. Believe what you want, but this attacking bulls*** is getting pretty damn tiring.

And most people say this site is "nicer" than the P-Club, and I'm beginning to think this place is just the same.

From Racing Beat MazdaSpeed Protege Q&A:

Q. Will MAZDASPEED parts be included under the Mazda warranty?

A. MAZDASPEED street parts will be covered under the existing Mazda warranty. Competition and off-road parts will be sold without a warranty.

I guess the real question is are the parts MAZDASPEED street parts or competition or off-road parts? It would make a lot of sense to me to have a boost controller or whatever as a competition part.

The reason I brought it up was not to put down anybody or prove anybody wrong but to make sure nobody goes ahead and buys something thinking it is included under the warranty and then gets screwed. It is about being nice. It's about protecting other board members. Don't take it personally.

lol, guys, stop arguing if the mazdaspeed parts will be under warranty, because guess what, this guy is full of BS.

this is like the 3rd time he posts stuff and doesnt back s*** up.

Look i don't want to be an asshole or any thing b/c you a cool guy and s***, but they way your sayin is that i can take a part out of a diesel mazda egine and out it on a gas engine? it is a mazda part. Or i can take the turbo off a mazda diesel engine and put it on my engine and everything is ok? right? you can't just mix and match parts. Mazda is warranting the engine they built and sold to you. you start to put other parts on it and change the engine with other "mazda" parts then it's not the engine they have the warranty on. so if that part, either mazda part or not that was put on the car other then mazda, fails or causes a problem then you out of luck. that is all i'm saying.
