I'm in Mississauga Ontario, and yes, it sure is a pain to get parts up here! Fasttoys is in Winnipeg though, ordering from them saves on the customs fees.

Did "some" modding to my car while I was stranded up in New Brunswick.

Donated a grand total of $531.50 to your country in custom fees. I'm just glad I could help out Canada <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> . Seriously, your custom tax SUCKS. What is it 9% business import and something ridiculous like 17% personal import <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" />

Oh yeah, I also donated a radar detector. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I'm from Canada <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Toronto actually (Go Leafs!)

When I was working in Maryland it was awesome!! Five tracks in a very short distance from me, EFA/MAFBA guys everywhere, and CHEAP car parts that were delivered in just a couple of days!!
I may go back down to the USA to work again just to get car stuff cheap LOL!
Cheers,
Chris

For Canadians, we can definitely save you on brokerage fees, taxes etc. Can't help you out with the miserable exchange rate though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

ASP Pulleys work really well but are on nationwide back order.

I drive 45 minutes across the border and pick up my parts on the US side. You just pay the taxes and there is no duties or brokerage fees.
