Hi All,

Sure this has been asked numerous times but where does everyone buy parts for their Camaro? I like to shop around for a good deal so happy for some assistance.

Immediate ask is a replacement air filter assembley to sit on top of my Holley carbs. Backfire burnt the filter and dropped crap in so could be why is been running rough!

Either a good parts shop near Twickenham or online would be ideal...

Cheers

Rockauto.com, Jegs.com, summitracing.com, all abroad so check.out the Import duty, shipping and vat before getting too excited, Rocky at americantechnique in Watford, customville in Dagenham, w.a.s.p up near Cambridge somewhere, usautomotive in Bedford, prices can vary widely for exactly the same part so it's really worth spending a little time checking all the suppliers out

Thanks Gents, some light bedtime reading. I did find USAutomotive on eBay that seemed reasonable, don’t know if anyone has used them?

You’re right Farl, Real Steel looks promising and a nice cruise up the road from me.

I've got prices from.usautomotive a few times and found the same parts at least 50% cheaper elsewhere

Cheers both, will take your advise onboard. Can’t believe usautomotive are that expensive so that’s them on the black list!

Glad you gents are on here, it’s a bloody minefield!
