Ontario residents, where do you buy your high performance parts?

I live just east of Toronto and i just purchased my 1st 3rd gen. I want some opinions as to where the best place to buy high performance parts is.There are alot of US web sites with great prices but every Canadian knows about the dollar issue not to mention customs.I was just wondering where my fellow 3rd gen Canuks shop.

Steve

Hey Steve!
I'm down near Windsor. Everything I get is mail order from the states (Summit) or from Detroit. Yes the exchange is killing us isn't it!!

Motomaster parts kick a$$, Actually crappy tire had some decent prices on some Accel wires, cap ,rotor. They have started to carry some decent names in their Tire line up.I think they have a high performance catalogue as well(geared towards Jap cars).I guess we can give them an A for effort. I'm not about to load up the Iroc with Motomaster emblems though.I just wish we had some of the choices they have in the states.

Steve, unfortunately I do not have a scanner so pics are out of the question. I've got some good ones from the track. Oh well!

Hey guys , i'm in Ottawa.I get my stuff from Summit most of the time.SLP just moved their Canadian orders to Zeke's in Quebec.They honour all of SLP's internet specials.I just got headers and some other stuff from them.Shipping was $20 bucks !!!! Another place to try is www.hi-performance.com .Free shipping in Canada.Any time i've tried to order stuff through Keystone (Crappy Tire) they've screwed it up.Agostino racing in Toronto can probably hook you up too.We should start an Ontario thirdgen club.Later
