It's a nice idea, but unless you are an original owner, how can you be sure someone claiming to have a CYM doesn't have a repainted '93 R1?
A true registry has some independent or objective way to validate the member cars. Usually it's a serial number or chassis #.
As time goes on, and cars start being restored, we'll probably see some "fakes" floating around out there. If there's no way to independently verify what you have, it cuts down on the collectibility.

and b) its easy to call mazda with the vin...
also since the entire body is yellow, it would be a GIANT amount of work to change colors.
if you really spent serious money and ended up with a fake, i'm afraid you'd deserve it, for not looking over the car

If nebody has ne ideas on how to get it up and goin a bit more let me know or take it upon ur self to boost intrest. Thanks

Mazda used to have a member registration section on their site (...might still be there) to check your car's basic info using the VIN. A Door jam with stickers can be fraudulently meticulously replaced with a real one (...say...pulled from a salvaged CYM 
). Better to use the VIN that's on your firewall.
I read somewhere just recently (not CYM, but another color)...that someone noticed a mix matching VIN on the same car: door jam didn't match up with the firewall.
