MEMBERS ONLY ACCESS
MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT will NO LONGER be selling to non racers. You will need to be a registered member of our program, with current race results, to purchase ANY parts from us. You will also need to log in with a valid ID and password, to view our catalog.

It has been our policy in the past that if someone still wished to purchase a competition part, even though they weren't a member, we would still sell it to them. This is longer the case. (It will take some time for us to update all areas of our site to reflect this.)

There are many online stores catering to Mazda performance parts now, and with the new MAZDASPEED performance accessories that should be in Mazda dealerships soon, Mazda owners should be able to find the performance parts they need. Check out the Links Directory at the Mazda Performance Corner for help finding parts.

MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT will be refocusing our business activities around our Team Support members and racing. We are busy making improvements to our site for the benefit of our racers.



what happened?

13B+Boost=FUN

Here's how to kinda get around it.
1. Join the SCCA.
2. Tell them that you're "building" your racecar
3. Per their rules, when building your car, all you have to do is take a picture of you working on it, and a picture of your SCCA registration card, then you get provisional buying power (can still buy everything, but must show proof of 2 races attended).
4. Go to at least 2 autocrosses a season, and you get your full buying power.

This is a small price to pay to get factory backed racing products.

Good Luck

Here's what they officially say about the building process.

that sucks I am about to order brake pads and SS brake lines from them too today. Where should I go now with a decent price for pads and SS lines?

Ok, as a racer who gets support from Mazda, don't do this. This is bullshit.

Go to 2 autocrosses, and get signed up. Goto two sanctioned drag races, and get signed up. If you're legitimately building a race car, then fine. But don't bypass their procedures just to get cheap parts if you don't intend to go racing. I need their support to go racing, they have an incredible program, and they don't ask for a hell of a lot in return.

2 autocrosses... what, 50 bucks and a helmet total? It's not that much folks.

what types of products do they carry that we cannot get elseware?

Silkworm

Samps/Photo,

Yeah, racers get just about dealers prices for ALL Mazda parts..

Wow.... sounds like a good deal to me. I'll have to remember that when I finally get my FC. You say autocrosses will count for the races? Sweet....

Heck I was planning on racing my 7 for fun anyways.

thanks

i wasn't meaning to disrespect racers at all, because i think that racing is fun, especially autocrosses and drag races, and the system is set up so that racers must consistently attend races

sorry silkworm, i meant to quote you on the first part of the reply
