I have 47k miles on a 04...will my warranty be voided if I sent my autocross and road course results to Mazdaspeed Motorsports

 

MS motorsports doesn't talk to MNAO.
Few guys in this area had their cars registered and never had issues getting warranty work done.

 

And jedi has spoken

 

fixed.

 

Jedi is correct.

I've never had any problems with warranty work. I've been a member of Mazda Motorsports for almost 1 year and I've sent them at least a dozen of my results from this season.

P.S. My only warranty issue to date has been the sun visors (both).

 

so i guess the real question is, has anyone autocrossed regularly, sent the results in to MS motorsports, and then had a transmission replaced under warranty?

 

Kwescott did.

 

didnt he have an auto?

 

negative.
Although, now that I think about it i think his was covered under his extended warranty.

 

I have autocrossed and sent results regularly on my 07. Last fall they rebuilt my transmission under warranty. Got no grief from the dealer at all...

 

+1...only they gave me a new one...no steenking rebuild for mwood

 

lol totally newb question, but since it's on the topic...Might as well ask. Mazdaspeed Motorsports..sending results in..? Just a bit confused.. Is that like..where they post your 8 on their website with results or they sponsor something? Just sounds interesting is all.

 

RX8 owners are fortunate to be able to participate in the Mazdaspeed program. The benefits are many, but the key ones are contingency money, parts discounts and S plan pricing on new cars.

So, when running an RX8 at an event recognized by Mazdaspeed as a "contingency event", those that win, place or show are eligible to collect contingency money...which requires that you send in the results, along with a photo showing your car with the required Mazda/Mazdaspeed decals, as "proof" of your accomplishment.

The only ones who are going to get their picture in Mazda's promos are guys like ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOSE, who have won a number of events (a very large number, in his case) and show their support for Mazda.

 

Ah, gotcha. Thanks a million for that :D I'll keep that in mind once I start getting better. Heh. Only just started last season!

 

Im just wondering where can I sign up for these "autocross" and "track" stuff around NYC area.

Cuz seriously I've been searching and searching but I just can't find any.

Im looking at English Town right now, but I think I should take some HPDE first b4 I do it. (I am in motorsports program but they kicked me out cuz I didnt send results in after 2 months lol)

 

Googled for "scca nyc"

Sign up. You still get to shop on their site and get the discounted prices.

 

I did signed up to SCCA. But "forgot" to look at the Ny Region part ...

Thx

 

You sign up, not your car. They ask what you are racing, but not for your VIN. We bought our RX-8 with an S-plan pin from Mazda Motorsports, they knew what we were doing from day one, never had any issues.

 

I didn't see the link in this thread... Thanks. Sorry..lol I'm not usually noob. :P

 

yeah?

and how much do you get? $20?

 

Natl Tour or ProSolo event win $200. National or ProSolo Championship $800.

 

and local car club events? are they recognized by MSM?

 

They do not award money for them, but they count as your two events per year.

 

but you have to win the prosolo event to get $200, right?

 

Natl Tour or ProSolo pays $200 (well it has for the last 10+ years that I have been a member - should be the same this year).
