I'm talking the dealer-installed, fully-covered, non-warranty threatening type?

The only things that I could think if, and they don't really count, are the Mitsu strut bar and the Mitsu intercooler piping. They are basically the same stock pieces, and don't help performance, but are mainly for looks.

It is pretty much the stock stuff in a "red" color.. The only thing that I could think of is to buy a car that the dealer upgraded through a performance shop, like the "Buschur Evos" that a dealer use to sell, or buy a Gates311 Evo when it comes out.

The only upgrades you"ll find at the dealer are overpriced dress-up pieces.

That's what I figured - thanks for the help.

Coming from a long line of Mazdas over the years - where the Mazdaspeed parts could be had/installed/warrantied as perfomance boosts without voiding the warranty.

Besides aero parts, I'm not aware of any.

However, you can still get some Ralliart parts from japanparts.com and rhdriver. While not officially sanctioned by , they were built with keeping the car intact on stock parts.

Short answer is No. In 2008 - 2009 decision was made not to proceed with a Ralliart Branded performance line. Shortly after Ralliart operations was signification reduced in Japan. In other words, it was a bankrupcy but it was defunded to the point where the lights were on, but no body is home.

Fingers crossed that there is are possible developments in the near future to reverse this course. Its my prayer that Mitsubishi gets back into the game heavy when they release their two next generation EVOs.

Don't think so. I wish they did though. Subaru bastards have SPT stuff.
