ON Canadian Affiliate

Hey guys,

So, I have been on the site for on and off a couple of years. I want to introduce myself and maybe get some advice on something.

I used to own a audio / performance shop in Ajax, Ontario a few years back. Due to some issues I closed it down but I actually maintained a good client base that I sell to directly when they contact me.

I have noticed that we have access to all these wonderful people in the U.S. for parts and other stuff for our cars but I am wondering if I should become and affiliate on here to give something to the community.

I get great deals on audio, alarm/starters, performance parts, etc. I am still a registered business. I am not looking to be rich, just make some extra money and maybe help people with parts and accessories they are looking for.

I learned on this forum that when it comes to the RX-7 community, everyone helps each other out.

let me know your guys input and if any moderator / forum personnel is reading this, please direct me to the right individual to get this ball rolling.

Hope I can help out guys.

Thanks.

I live in Ajax too Down south off Lake Driveway if you know it.
If you wanted to start an importing company for rare parts I'd be down for that. LOL I still need Mazdaspeed Ms-01 centre caps and apparently they're more common in Japan. I also like finding deals on name-brand stuff... that's why most of my parts are Mazdaspeed, Mazdatrix, Racing Beat, RE-Amemiya... not a bunch of Chinese parts.
I'm sure everyone here will welcome another member supplying name-brand parts as there are a couple other members in the Canadian section who provide services like this in other areas, and everyone likes dealing with people who share our strange rotary love.
Not having to deal with huge shipping costs across the border is a huge bonus too.
Why not try to team up with someone who is also building a business like Re-Speed or another shop that can provide installation for the parts you sell?

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in replying. I've been MIA cause i've been sick from the "beautiful weather" we are having.

Anyways, just to answer some questions:

CS13B: I'm @ Westney and Rossland. I am trying to look into doing just that. Grabbing some small parts here and there that are rare for our cars and selling them off. I don't have much budget for stocking things anymore like I used to when I had my shop but I will start by asking who's interested in items and maybe going from there??! (suggestions)

misterstyx69: I deal with JL Audio, Pioneer, Kenwood. JL's a bit pricey and not many people are willing to pay the price. I like them cause of quality and I have my FD full in JL Audio. Let me know, shoot me a quick message.

nick1: I am in Ajax unfortunately, but there are some guys that I have dealt with in the past when I had my shop that I got to know more in the west end I can recommend. Let me know.

Thanks.

I might need some audio stuff done, I don't have a deck right now and the previous owner did a "custom wiring job" on the deck he had and I'm not exactly an electrician, you follow me? Think next season I can swing by?
