Replacement Parts

What kind of replacement parts do you guys buy aftermarket, and what ones do you only buy from the dealer. Specifically I need to know where is the best place to get:

Fuel Injectors
Fuel Filter
ACV Gasket
TPI
Pulsation Dampener

Thanks!

Ive got about a TON of different sources...

For gaskets, if I cant get them at the dealer, I go to Mazdatrix. They have done right be me so far.

TPS? I go junkyard style in that... A new TPS is SPENDY!!

1) Do I need this part for performance or looks? If not remove it & discard.
2) Can I fix it myself? (Bondo or epoxy, or some home made bracket.
3) Will a working used part do the job? If so check local parts monger, this forum's for sale/wanted, salvage yards, eBay.
4) For new parts - This Forum's sponsors, Mazdatrix, NAPA, MAZDA.

Injectors I would say victoria british if i ever needed new ones. Fuel filter probably the dealer if not autozone. ACV I don't have emmisions so I don't really care but I would probably use some rtv. TPS I would get a parts car for that they cost as much as a dead fc. Pulsatio damper is not needed just look for the banjo bolt replacement on the summit website the part number is around here on the forum.

Actually, the PD is there for a reason. Taking it out is detrimental to your injectors.

my injectors are fine.


I would guess the fuel lines would be the ones to take the shock since they are rubber.

No, the shock waves caused by the injectors opening and closing are giving you uneven fuel delivery, and will cause premature failure of your injectors.

But hey...Its your car.
