TRD's been very sucessful with their parts, i bought a bunch for my last car... all their parts were rediculously high quality, fit great, looked great, and best yet, were thoroughly R&D'd and gave some great performance... Soon you can order a Supercharger for the Scion Tc that works with your stock warranty and they've been selling other supercharger kits for their trucks and certain other cars for a while... If Ralliart produced parts like TRD does which would work with your warranty, I'd buy them for sure... for now though, it seems like if you mention you have imported ralliart stuff on your car, the service managers say "Ralli-what??? Warranty voided..."

seeing as how im almost at 36k miles, im interested to see if i run into any problems if my tranny will be covered once i no longer have a engine warranty but have mods.
i have my stock clutch, no slippage, mitsu fluids, ect ect ect.

That rep sounds like a good person to know. I'm am very much thinking about buying an Evo in the future and I would have no intention of modding it (I have otehr cars for that) as it would be just my fun daily driver. But I can just see myself taking the car in for a fairly expensive problem and the dealer, like a knee-jerk reaction, just claims abuse. Then its their word against mine until something is actually proven. In the mean time I'm paying for the expensive repair. Of course not all dealers are the same in regards to wanting to do warranty work.
I really hope what you have posted turns out to be a new company wide attitude towards warranty stuff, but I am still a bit skeptical.

On the 03 EVO, the tranny is covered for 5years/60,000miles...
I was told that the peeling/discolored calipers where caused by brake fluid so go to another dealer if they wont replace them. They're covered for 3years/36,000miles..

ya know . . . unless you got that in writing somewhere, it really doesn't mean much, practically speaking, for most of us on these boards to just go to a dealer and tell them "well on the evo forums, they said that you would cover such and such."

That would be great if you could get that in writing...either way this is good news
No Matter what any dealer says this is how it goes. They cannot void your warranty no matter what, unless there is substantial evidence that the aftermarket part caused the problem that you are having than they do not have to fix it. Even what they say about the stock clutchs not being covered, under the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" they have to fix/replace it, if they refuse either threaten to take them to court, or actually do it, in the end even if they dont want to, there going to have to replace it.
