Engine Parts On Line Retailer in BC
Permalink  

Years ago I bought some engine parts (cam lifters etc) from an engine parts retailer located in Prince Rupert, BC?  It was somewhere in the north or the interior.  His prices were as good as one could get in Canada at the time given the exchange rate at the time.  I think it was called Canadian Performance Warehouse or something similar?  I can't find the contact details any more.  Has anybody ever used these guys or know of any contact details?
Thanks.

I think I know the place you mean. Didn't they run ads in at least one car magazine years ago? The ads were fairly plain and had a small red maple leaf on the page?

I am sure I remember the place, but sure can't recall the name. I think your Canadian Performance guess is close though.

I had thought it was in southern BC for some reason.

they switched over to supplying parts to the 'tuner/ricer' crowd, don't know if they're still in business.

I had a catalog from them a few years ago and never got it back. I did hear that they went out of business.

They were in Prince George, but I haven't heard of them for a while.

    I bought parts from them too. Canadian High Performance. I think they might be back in business under another name; or at least someome is in the same business in BC.  I've seen ads for an engine parts retailer either in Old Autos or the Old Car Trader. Can't remember the name though.
