Welcome to the club.
If you get all kings of mods and some how your Mazda dealer can prove that mod is jacking up your car. Then say good day to your warranty.

congrats and welcome. look into upgrading your suspension and sway bars. the RP supercat is a nice addition as well.

congrats on your new ride! well anyways, you should read this post

First time rotary owner? Read this before you modify your car.

I don't know which stage upgrade will void your warranty but I'm guessing that the Stage one modification (and maybe second stage?) shouldn't void your warranty. I think....

if you dont wanna put a chance at voiding your warranty, then i guess you'd have to leave it stock. anything can be blamed for failure if it cant be proven. go to your dealer and ask what modifications are fine.

Almost every dealer will allow you to do the basics such as Intake, exhaust, and suspension, audio system etc... Dealers will say not to go FI or Nitrous because you have to alter some portions of the vehicle which in turn void your warranty.... Though it is your car and you can do whatever you want to it....

Get the RP short shifter. Definitely the most worth while mod (easy too).
