Racing beat in canada

Hey guys, anybody have any luck tracking down racing beat parts in canada? I'd like to avoid getting murdered by customs fees if possible..

Calgary...

RX-7 Specialties in Calgary is named on the Racing Beat site, as a Canadian supplier. ( 403-246-6980 )

Post if they can get good prices!

not many people from victoria post! what colour is your car?

Eunos Custom Automotive - they're probably not an authorized Racing Beat Dealer but they do carry the parts and they are in BC. the prices aren't up-to-date on their site, you hafta email them for current market prices - or at least i had to for the swaybars/ screens.

what were you looking to get?

I also noticed the supplier in vancouver on the site but the phone number they have listed is not in service

I was looking for screens/swaybars/springs and maybe exhaust...not all at once though

My car WILL be a white 05 GT, however I am still in the negotiation phase of the process, so hopefully you'll see me around town in the next few weeks. I take a long time to buy things...first test drove the car in december!

You might have seen my current car around. It's a bright red subaru legacy turbo with full rollcage, numbers on the side, huge foglights, loud blowoff valve...

What color is yours?

congrats!

not sure if you noticed this thread about the recall/suspended deliveries.

turbo! <drool> ... must be nice!

mine's blue. no mods yet, but paid for some swaybars (it's been 13 weeks) from a shop in Vancouver (not Eunos - don't trust PDM Racing), bidding on the AutoEnginuity CANscan tool on Ebay, and want to get the TEIN basics this month.

been trying to get my hands on a used Canzoomer, but no luck thus far.

see you around! the other RX-8s in town aren't so friendly ... i usually grin / wave, but get no response. i guess one guy smiling at another can be interpreted many ways
p.s. NOT gay :D

I bought some stuff from PDM and had a really bad experiance (told me they didnt' have some brakelines in stock, I said take it off my order, as I had other things too, and I'll get them somewhere else...bought the other stuff at a local shop, only to find the lines in my PDM delivery as well. Also had their staff hang up on me because they were busy).

When I was testdriving one last year down in Beacon Hill park, I had someone wave at me from another 8.

As far as the sales hold, I'm not sure how it will pan out but apparently the dealerships havn't stopped selling yet, so hopefully I can get my hands on one before then.

Posted a couple pics of my subaru in this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/introduction-66336/

I'd guess around 200. It'll be going on the dyno next week so we'll see.

Was this you?
