Yes, please specify what you are looking for?
Performance and Body oriented parts/mods: - Boom Plus Toys - Rev Competition - A&J Racing - Garage Five If you are looking for interior additions, go to any of the Asian malls in Richmond or Burnaby and go to the car/auto accessory stores. Shift knobs, air fresheners, sport pedals, light bulbs, etc...

I am looking for a cold air intake and want to put in a better flow exhaust and some lowering springs. That's a start. I have stuff ordered from a friend in Japan (actually, my ex), but I doubt anything will show up even though he has alot of connections with Toyota. Thanks for your help. It's sweet. |

Thanks Bigsky2!!
I will check these places out or send my bf to check them out with me. I have gone to the Malls in Richmond and yah, that's where I got my Hello kitty stuff. Ok. sorry, I'm a girl. I like that stuff. I know it's not cool, but it's cute. I am looking for some basic performance stuff since my ex was a driver and I was really into that community of things when living in Japan. I worked for Toyota. (*who didn't there?). I'm looking for intakes, exhaust system and a lighter flywheel and lowering springs, but not sure about the coilovers. I still want a reliable and fuel efficient car but want something that will go faster when I go on road trips to Calgary and stuff. Know what I mean jellybean? Thanks!! cya. Quote:

for GTA area i will recommand OptionJdm.com, even though their website looks like honda only, but they actually will get anyparts u want.
and JDM-P, located on Kennedy, North of steeles, south of Hwy7, it's slightly south of the VW, Benz, Honda dealership, just right besides the Tim Horton, u won't miss the sign, they specialize on JDM used parts, like he can get u JDM front bumpers and rear bumps and rear axles soemthing like that, also can order anything brand new from JP. or Jrponline.com carry lots of JDM and USDM parts

I think Vancouver and the Lower Mainland is spoiled by import shops, there's a handful of shops that can get hard to find products. Here's a break down of what I suggest, and what I went through to get my own parts: Intakes - Bought mine online from C2Auto, a supporting vendor here on the forums. Can also look to TRDSparks.com for TRD intake if you are inclined to do so. - Locally, they can be ordered from BPT, RevComp, A&J, SR Auto, etc, etc. I can't comment on the prices, but they should be comparable to online retailers. Exhaust - Bought mine online, from TRDSparks.com because they carried the JDM TRD Vitz Hi-Response Muffler Ver. S (gotta' love the name for a simple axle-back exhaust) made specifically for the JDM Toyota Vitz RS - Can also be had locally, from BPT, Rev, A&J, etc, etc... Just tell them what you want, and they can order it (if you like the price) Flywheels, other internals - This stuff is a little more specialized and should be ordered from import shops locally. The price will be steep, but if you cannot get the product you want through your own channels, it would be easier to have the import shop do all that for you. Springs, Coilovers, Suspension - If you are comfortable doing these mods yourself, I suggest purchasing them from online/sponsoring vendors to save some money. - Can also be had at local shops Local shops exist because some people will not bother trying to source parts through their own channels. It takes time to contact online retailers and vendors, trying to establish a relationship, haggle on prices, etc... The local shops have already done this and they can get the part for you on whim. Because of this, you will have to pay a small premium to cover their costs. It's entirely up to you how you want to approach it. I purchased a few things locally because of convenience, and other items online because they were less expensive (even after shipping, import taxes). Good luck butterfly cutie

Thanks Bigsky and Dngz. I'll hafta check out these places. You ever notice that when you go into these places they seem more interested in you more than the car? Hmmmm.
Anyways, I don't plan on getting my hands dirty. I'm looking for someone to do the work for me. I'll check out these places. Thank you for all your help! |
