I'm not in Toronto but racingbeat is probably one of the best companies out there. Top notch quality.
80%of my mods are racingbeat products.

Absolutely top notch company. You can have things over-nighted if you want (have something coming in today that I ordered yesterday) but they usually use USPS and it takes 7 to 12 business days to arrive.

I love how all the main manufacturers/vendors (Tein, Megan, Brembo, Sparco, Stillen, RRR, Greddy, NGK, MazdaTrix, Mazda Headquarters, etc.) are within 30 miles from where I live.

Anyways, I had a bunch of RB stuff (always went to their office/warehouse, 8 miles away from my house) and they're some really top notch stuff.

Half of our race engine is from Racing Beat. They are one of the best out there. The other great rotary source is Mazdatrix. They also race, build and test what they sell!

When I ordered something from them two years ago, you have to e-mail or call them up after you put in an online order to tell them to ship via USPS instead of UPS.

RB Great company to deal with: good communications, I ordered the Revi Combo on a Friday May 1st, shipped on the Monday, got to Canadian Border Wednesday, Just received the Revi Intake today the 14th. The Duct is still at customs hopefully they"ll release it today so I can pick-up at my Post Office Tomorrow for the long weekend.
Went USPS not UPS to save a $100 in broker fees.
The big problem is Canadian Custom, if they decide to review, it can take weeks
Same thing happen with a AFE Shifter I order before the stuff from RB Just got it too!

sorry about the late reply, work has been crazy! I changed the wires, coils & plugs all at once, so it's hard to tell if the wires did anything, peace of mind i guess...she's still running smooth though

odd about the duct... I got mine in about a week.. including customs... mind you.. for some reason they labeled the category on the customs form as "fantacy"... I guess the power gains are all in your head.
