Question Contemporary Motor sports in Calgary?

Hey Cow town peeps, how is CMS for parts for our cars? I know they moved as they were with T&T Honda and I used to go there for my Civic but I'm curious as to if there any good for Chevy Cobalts.. Any info would be helpful please as I would like to find a good place to shop... thanks

Online, I've used Pulley Boys and CrateEngineDepot.com. Both very positive experiences. In the very near future, I'll be ordering fom ZZ Performance and also BWoody. My only advice, when ordering from the States, try and use USPS and avoid UPS!!!



As well as CMS, I've also dealt a little with Autopac and Davenport Racing.

ups usually involves more hassle crossing the border.
and most of the time more $$ to cross it too.


example....$40 US for an AEM dryflow filter from California. up into BC, and across to edmonton.

cost me $22 US from UPS

first and last time ill ever use them.
