i keep all of the Mazda parts dealers on speed dial on my phone.
When i call up the Mazda parts counter to order engine parts... they just ask " order the usual for you, Mr. Ward?"
I've had worse luck with Engines than Gen. Custer.
I can rebuild the engines myself, and keep a ton of parts on hand, i have a very generous budget also. This is not a car for a limited budget young person that is trying to have a decent car. They are evil cars that are incredible when they are running right, which is often for some.... and very rare for others. You can roll the dice and see if you are lucky, but it may leave you really hating the car you bought. I finally sold my other FD and threatened to sell the grey one.

Worse luck then Gen. Custer
Shannon is dead on though, this car can be stupid expensive. And if you dont take meticulous care of it, it'll make you pay.....ALOT
