PDM Racing.. they carry a few RX-8 parts and have done minor work.

Teamworks- they do rotaries.. they have an FD

ForceFed- rotaries as well.

theres another one near PDM i forget the name of the place.. but they have done a few FDs..the folks there are quite cocky though..

Any other independents that are rotary specialists?

I'm not looking for mods, I'm looking for reasonable 2nd opinion expertise.

go with mazdaspeed parts and get it installed by mazda.. simple..they are coming out with a CAI and exhaust that is actually "aftermarket-worthy" and fairly competitive pricing (in the states as usual).. but im pretty sure you will get slaughtered up here with all the extra markups and duty charges and taxes ...

other than that.. you will simply void the warranty on any OEM parts that are affected by the non-mazdaspeed after-market parts..

yes mazda will install any part you give them.. they will simply charge you their labour rate but will not warranty them.. im not sure which dealer carries mazda speed parts, but there is a catalogue out there somewhere.. just as your local dealer....if common sense prevails mazda should not void warranty with mazdaspeed parts..
