JRP in Miss. sells them I just saw them on display, dunno if you can call them a good shop but they do sell them. My friend Dan Ponze in Detroit (Godspeed Motorsports) has sold lots of Teins as a dealer I would refer you to him if you want someone reputable.

JRP is a bunch of shit talking fags. do you think godspeed would do a group buy?? it is worth it to buy from the states with our exchange rate so shitty??

Guys at JRP are great guys...... and btw...... there main business is distributing....... not there retail front store. And since there the only real shop in the GTA that sells quality parts for normal prices i give them props. Theyve always helped be out when I needed it. Sorry to hear you had problems with them

sammysir with your sportlines did u need a camber kit?

sammysir
12-16-2002, 08:12 PM
well since were using mac struts on the front they pretty much correct all the camber that the front springs give yah... and the rears show ...... but i couldn't be bothered........ this is just a temp setup right now....... if your just getting springs no worries.... don't bother with the allignment kits. When i Go full coilover ill get them properly done until then...... im riding on stock control arms. If your worried about tire wear.... just rotate the tires...... and no matter what u do for camber kits.... lowered cars will eat through wheel bearings faster than at stock height. btw where you located in TO.... we should get a TO meet going.

JRP = Just Wrong Parts (okay wrong starts with a "w" but you get the joke).

Seriously I am now returning the fourth part that I have bought off them in the last couple years which does not fit my car despite them telling me different. I hear this happens to alot of people there. They are nice enough guys though, but they sell you the wrong shit too often. I have to drive 2 hrs each way to return this stuff too !.

I would check with Godspeed Motorsports in Troy Michigan, don't worry about the Canadian dollar, you will most likely still save money. Plus if you can pick them up yourself and bring them across the border you can save a good buck without paying duties on Japanese parts, plus Dan can sometimes help us Canadians out so we don't pay much duty, check with him. I have his phone number listed as 248-305-8140 . Last e-mail address I had for him was ej20@twmi.rr.com , give it a shot and see if it works, I haven't dealt with him for over a year, but he always saved me money and was good to deal with when I had my last Civic.

haha well sorry to hear dude..... but in my case..... i never let someone sell me something....... i tell them it fits on my car not the other way around.... know what you want for your car. including part #'s b4 yah go in there. I know the shop i was at b4 many time shipped wrong parts.... but it could of been 100 different reasons from us to the guys at the parts desk.... if you give the guys at JRP a part number.... they should never screw up.

First things first you can't shop at performance improvements for anything AEM. They are not direct with them. JRP was a great shop until the owner moved to the states. Now looser Steve runs things and has F*$%ed up that whole place. He is so full of himself. I have posted many times for info about shops in Toronto and had no help. I went from Scarbrough to Missisauga to Barrie to find a good shop and this is what I came up with. KHF Performance Prouducts in Scarbrough. They are just down the street from the dyno. They carry Skunk,volk,Tein,OMP,C-West,JIC Magic,Mugen and Project U. Call Rae ther and he will take care of you. If you are in to racing you must have seen ther 2 yellow JDM ITR'S at Toronto motorsport Park and Mosport. So far I have got my Suspention and Exhaust from them. www.khf.ca Oh ya i got my AEM CAI for $425 tax in at a small shop in Newmarket.:D

$425? you got bit.... and i bet it was at either TPS or Exotic. I know sean at exotic good guy, but he;ll take yah for a ride if he can. Same goes for the brewda boys at TPS or so i hear. My aem cost me 350 Tax in from Exotic touch, which got from JRP, so there was even a slight mark up there. I siad screw it give me the markup because i didn't feel like driving all the way down to sauga the next day. Buts ive heard of KHF how are they? Oh nm kennedy hi fi.... those guys are purely sound no?

Have delt with all the guys from JRP, tough call. Have bought
alot of parts from them, even for past civic hatchies. Got my AEM CAI there and header, it was the easiest thing I did to the new EP. The rest starts to roll downhill. But I can't put much blame on them.
I think they are somewhat handicapped and swamped as it is. They never messed up on me yet. As far as getting a part right. Just have to be very clear about what you want. Some of the guys have a piss poor attitude along with the parts in transit
thang. Will probably buy from them again, unless some other
more reputable shop is found in that area. Think they are in
need of a little healthy competition, thats all. One thing is for
sure they spend alot of time advertising and getting the word
out, especially in T.O. I only know of one other reputable shop
in the Brampton area (Splitfire Auto) anyone have thoughts on them? Also went to Piranah, left an even worse taste.

I got my intake from AGP (auto glass plus). They quoted me the best price over the phone. I should have called Exotic Touch but it has been a long time since the last time I spoke to those boys. Last time I delt with them was 2 years ago when they were in Bradford. Sean is a good guy but you can't trust him tooo much. As for TPS you don't even want to go there. Look carefully at the pic of the black Mazda and you may see who i am. Kennedy hi is not only audio any more they have tons of great JDM and high qual products. Any more info you have for me would be great I am strating new with my EP and need some help finding the right parts and shops!!!:)

I paid 575 ttl, when it was a first off. Have no regrets about the lower end torque nor the higher end HP. AEM is a great investment, CAI out compares any SRI that I have tried in the past on my civics. Im not recommending JRP, but they will get you one if you really want one. :eek:
