Like the title says, I’m looking to see if there are and brands close to Mazda. Specifically Japanese.

I like to pair my car accessories to brands close to my car maker. I’m new to Mazda so not really familiar.

I’ve seen Motegi on Mazda race cars which i plan to get since wheels but any one know of there are others?

    AutoEXE is definitely a Japanese parts company with strong ties to Mazda. As others have said: RE-Amemiya for rotary goodies. I think Knightsports is Japanese, they do have parts for Mazdas, but i don’t think that’s exclusive.

    If you are okay with broadening to non-Japanese only aftermarket companies that do Mazda parts, your options open quite a bit.

    As others mentioned, corksport and racing beat are the main Mazda aftermarket companies but Megan Racing also makes a bunch of aftermarket Mazda suspension components. I pretty much have a complete suspension setup from them on my 2010 3 Hatch.

    As far as being “affiliated” with Mazda, don’t think there’s any.

    But for aftermarket parts you can trust, Corksport is probably your best bet.

    Not sure if they have a sub on Reddit or not, but I know one of their reps posts somewhere on Reddit regarding new Mazda products. Whether it’s here, a 3 or 6 specific sub, or a Corksport sub.

    Racing Beat did a lot of the parts on the Mazdaspeed Protege and it’s predecessor, the MP3. I can’t recall the source of the turbo on the MSM. The MS3 and MS6 were mostly in house and corporate parts bin with Volvo and Ford bits.
