Reputable Online Stores

[Sijray21]

Just starting this for those who buy online. Feel free to add any comments.

I was also looking for good sites to buy brake stuff for the honda and vw and vw oem and aftermarket equipment. I know you guys know and i've searched around, but i've found too many. Just wondering what stores out there are good to work with and what are some to stay away from.

I've had good experiences with:

http://www.tirerack.com
http://www.tires.com
http://www.buy.com
http://www.newegg.com
http://www.monarchcomputer.com
--monarch did send me a mb/processor combo where the heatsink was originally attached to the mb and got loose during shipping causing all sorts of havoc on the mb and ram....that was fun to rma back, good return service though (they send the rma fedex sticker with it)

also on a side note if anyone knows of any good (quality) a2/mk2 forums it would be very appreciative, i'm having a hard time searching :x

Road/Race Engineering (RRE) is hardly DSM specific, and has tons and tons of kick-ass "custom fab" parts. Build your own intercooler/piping. A truly kick-ass company.

[KPWSerpiente]

I'm sorry but RRE is a Mitsu 4g63 specialist. Yes they do sell parts that could be put on other cars. No they are not known for building/tuning Nissans/Hondas/Subarus or Toyotas.
Yes they do offer a selection of Mazda 323 parts.
They also have some stuff for the 3rd Gen Eclipse.

I will now correct my other listings:

Dave at Dejontool.com specializes in designing and fabricating intake and intercooler piping for DSMS/ Evo8's/ 3SI's.

Slowboy Racing welcomes your Subaru/ Mopar(SRT-4)/ Honda business!!
They sell just about anything you could ever want as far as turbocharging those cars are concerned.

All of these are great companies.

I was just trying to say that RRE has alot of hard to find, reasonably priced parts (mandrel bends, intercooler cores, flanges, etc) that alot of people OTHER than DSMers would be interested in.

Hence the RX-7 with the big fat RRE sticker on it in the latest SCC.

On a DSM note, when I had my DSM I had some very good experiences with MachV motorsports.

But that was ages ago.
