Default NOVA Foks - Where are you buying Parts/supplies??

I can't find CRAP locally. The auto parts stores (like AdvancedAuto, etc) suck worse then Walmart.

I can't find decent brake fluid, parts, anything!

Where are you guys going? Ordering online is fine.. except for when I need it NOW!

Ideas?

Wow! Such a good question..I'm surprised at the lack of responses!

Personally, I just fly over to Japan and pick up what I need

Seriously, I'm just going to the dealer for Nissan/Nismo parts..etc.

I may sound naive, but why not the dealer? Am I missing something??

VaGent! Long time no see!

Anything performance related.. Brake Pads... Brake Fluid.. SS Brake Lines.. detailing supplies.. Nissan is good for OEM, but if you want 'above and beyond'.. like racing temperature brake fluid.. I haven't found anything local.

I'm having to order everything online.. which normally doesn't bother me at all.. but delivery timetables have been screwing me bad.. especially if you forget something.

Well, Evolution Auto sports up in chantilly is pretty quick with getting stuff. Depends what you need? I have ordered stuff from a couple places, depends on price though since i'm a college student (not for much longer ). I think Evolution would be your best bet though

Evolution sells parts.. not supplies AFAIK. Plus, they don't inventory much stuff.. most is order/delivery.

...oh and for detailing supplies, no one stocks anything anymore around here, everyone reduced their inventories so i just go to www.properautocare.com ...if i NEED something that day i roll out to pep boys since they have the best selection of the places around.

OGRacing looks like a good start. They are close to me (in sterling.. I'm in ashburn).

Detailing I get everything from properautocare as well, but was hoping to at least find SOME last minute supplies. This sucks considering how big an area this is.
