I know of a (semi-local) parts store. They have amazingly great prices. It's a machine shop down in columbus, ga, who services the local mazda dealership.
You get dealership-quality parts for cheaper-than-rockauto prices.
Here's what I got from them, compared to rockauto's prices:
HLA's: 15.99/each (compare to 19-20/each)
Timing Idler Pulley: 25 (compare to 35-40)
Timing Tensioner Pulley: 28 (compare to 35-40)
Front Oil Seal: 3
Connecting Rod Bearings: 12 (compare to 23-30)
Head Gasket: 30 (The head gasket is incredible quality. Rockauto doesn't offer it, and it's multiples better than the ebay gasket. Multiples!)
It's benning auto parts in columbus ga. They can drop-ship the parts to your door as well.
