Subieland and SubieSupplyCo are completely unrelated entities and in no way affiliated with Subiedepot/ft86motorsports/dipitca/etc (there are about a half dozen companies operated out of their Limoges warehouse). I have done business with both SubieLand and SubieSupplyCo and both are great to work with.

It's not unheard of for companies to offer "free" shipping over X as that is what the market demands. Much of the same in the US as well, notably RallySportDirect and FTSpeed.

Edit: FWIW, all of the sites are using RSD/Turn14/JSpec/MackinInd as their wholesale distributors, so their stock is more or less the same across the board.

Just thought I would dump my 2 cents, I've had a decent experience when buying not ft86ms branded items. shipping and comms are quite bad but honestly it's expected with them.

The real issue is when I bought the turbo kit. It was the biggest piece of shit I've ever had to work with. Numerous issues with the kit. They didn't even include the correct sizes for clamps and oil fittings. I had to go back and forth with them to keep requesting missing parts of the kit as I was installing.

The header was put together with the laziest welds known to man. the header face also had to be remachined by my local shop because fitting it to the engine left a 1-3mm gap on one side.

hmm what else. oh right they forgot to give me seals for my turbo. luckly my shop had spares so I didn't have to go email them for the 6th time about the kit. uh. yeah I basically had to re touch every pipe that came out of that kit, (now that I think about it, the only thing I didn't have to touch was the recasted Greddy pipe on the cold side that CSG mike was always talking about).

** side note, if you get the turbo kit. be prepared to replace the belt at the same time. as, if you get the waste gate recirculated version you'll need to 1st *bash in part of the pipe* as it contacts the crank. and then you'll realize you can't replace the belt with out taking off the entire turbo kit. to this day I still haven't replaced my belt.**

okay rant over, I think getting name brand stuff is probably OK but be prepared to work on fixing actual FT86MS parts. And be prepared for alot of missing shit if its a big like a turbo kit.

PS:
oh right I got spacers and one stud came cross threaded already. basically got told to fuck off. but the gracious owner allowed me to buy a stud and replace it my self. lol.

FYI this turbo kit was bought in December of 2021 so, hopefully they fired that guy's ass and actually got a better welder.

Not sure if they're still in business. I just tried to buy brake lines from them
but when I go to pay, it has everything in the cart but no pay option??
Has some weird line at top left that says something like:

"No payment method available"

I've had no issues with them over the yrs but only bought 4 things from them.
Any other Canadian place to shop?

Tks.

Gu Motorsport has some stuff for the twins.

Here's a few that I have purchased from. I'm sure others can add to it.

XIIImotorsports have a lot of things in stock. They're a mechanic shop but also keep a lot of stuff in stock so you can call them directly and have it shipped/pick it up depending on where you are. They're in Brampton, Ontario

That's too bad. I've bought so much stuff from them over the years. The only time I've ever had an issue was at the beginning of the pandemic when Quebec went under lockdown and shipping was... complicated.

What other alternatives are there?
I did get a few things from parkautomotorsports at some point.
