Ahhhh you don't get it. OEM parts for RX7s are EXPENSIVE and always have been. Check with your local dealer if you don't belive me.



Example: New oil cooler is going to run you around 1k for some models. I'm not going to pay that so I'll get one used or get an aftermarket one if I have to.



It's not that Mazdatrix is trying to rip you off it's just that it COSTS a mint to get those parts.



Look up any of the fuel injection components. OUCH!



Most of us (if not all) get used parts, barter around for them or go aftermarket.



Mazdatrix is easily one of the best (if not the best) parts shops I've dealt with. The only parts shop that may come close in my expereince is Quinn CAT in Bakersfield, and as I don't think any of us need parts for a 3208 CAT they don't really count now do they? (CAT's are a pain to get parts for, just btw)



Anyways, just remember that new oem parts cost a small fortune. You'll do better used or aftermarket in a lot of cases unless you're wealthy.

Oh so i get it since there the biggest and about the only one out there---they can do what ever they want with the prices---oh now i get it.
How do you expect to get OEM Mazda parts cheaper from MazdaTrix then the dealer? This must be your first car if you dont know by now that it will ALWAYS cost you 3-4 times what the car is worth to build it using new dealer parts.

I can second that as my oil cooler was damaged in the wreck I just had. The stock replacement on the estimate was $650 while a aftermarket one that is TWO AND A QUARTER TIMES the size of the stock one is only $800 or so. So which do you think that I am going to go with

Good deal, and on that note make sure it's a good aftermarket oil cooler. I'd say a good chunk of them are crap.

ive made to orders from them, good service, good prices, better than driving and hour to the nearest mazda dealer and paying out the *** for simple little things, prob the only place ill ever buy anything brand new for a rx7 and they know what there talking about, last tim ei went to the mazda dealer the guy was prob in his teens and didnt know rotaries existed! (i didnt either until about 3 years ago,i know i know i should shoot myself!,lol) but yeah, very good place to order from as well as BritishVictoria.com to get there catalog,its free!
