Default Good place to buy parts in Canada!



After checking out prices at a local performance shop for intakes and header, I decided to compare them to local dealers and some big name stores. I am pleased to say that the Canadian Tire store prices are very competitive. Apparently, they have a performance parts catalogue ($ 8) that lists all parts they carry. I will post how good the catalogue is once I pick it up. The local store said that they carry parts from almost all brand names. Are there any other good places that you guys know of?

Hope this helps anyone looking to get some good prices here in Canada. We all know how good their return policy is.

Cheers!!
:cheers:

I've picked up the CT performance catalogue before and ordered some goodies from it too, and it is quite complete! (Spent many hours in the *AHEM* library reading and picking out parts..) Most of the major brands are represented (Holley Group, Edelbrock, Moroso, ect...) The parts are ordered from Keystone in the 'States... The only thing is the lead time to get the parts to your local CT.

The CTC Performance Catalogue is a jewel! Normal delivery is about 3-5 days to your local store. And no UPS/FedEx brokerage :rant: fees ;) .

I picked the CTC performance catalogue up in a show...... it was the best thing at the show!

It'll provide you with a couple of days worth of reading.

Used it a few times, better than driving into the city for the same parts a the same or usually higher price. :thumbs:

There is a parts swap meet on Feb 2, 2003 in the Toronto area. Put on by an NCRS guy at his, believe it or not, Honda dealership. (Dalt's) It starts at 8:00 am this Sunday.
