well here's all the stuff that's covered (in bold) http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/pdf/...components.pdf
Now, it's doesn't say they aren't covered, but it also doesn't say they are..
This seems to be one of those grey areas.. I better just call....

Is Ted on here? He owns a silver 8 and was at Lime Rock Park. He had a Go Video cam on his trunk facing back and I was behind him on the track. Looking for the vid.

Ted is a member of the site but I don't know if he is with the Columbus locals or not. I will hit him up over on the 6Club Josh and have him get in contact with you.

Yep...i'm on here sometimes. I've got some bad news about the video however. I accidently erased it. I was transfering the files and got it mixed up with the others I took at the track last weekend. If it's any consolation, it wasn't that long anyway. Sorry.

hey guys, looks like i missed a lot in that one day i didnt log on. i was wondering, while we were on topic, if any actual problems can arise from having bad motor mounts. never heard it being the cause of anything serious but wanted to know.
and does replacing the side markers require removing the front bumper? i just ordered a set of blacked out sides with bulbs and needed to know for the install.

No...just 2 screw clips, one bolt and a clip per side. Your small *** hands will help...but be prepared to leave some more blood on your car. First side should take you about 45 minutes second side is like 5.

If you're out of warranty then drilling is the best option.

Its the best option if:
a) You're out of warranty.
b) Lazy and don't feel like messing with the dealer (like me).
c) Dealer has replaced your gasket numerous times without success and you are frustrated with the reoccurring problem.
Just saw a post last week where someone had his done 3 times without success!
