Hi all!
Been having a no-start issue, and had my car taken to a well-regarded 914 shop. They informed us that their policy is that they only use brand-new parts that they source themselves. Outside of the no-start issue, it appears that the NOS fuel injectors that we had put on it are leaking, alongside the short hoses leading to them. We just replaced the whole fuel system with Tangerine Racing stainless lines with new rubber. They said that the tiny rubber lines are backordered, and the injectors run about $500 per. I'm confused, as I see hundreds of listings for part FJ67 for $120 online. Am I missing something here? Let me know if i am overreacting. |

Going to a "professional" shop is the absolute last resort for doing anything on our cars. I was recently quoted $1,500.00 for a rear wheel only alignment and they were going to do it via the "string and jack stand" method. Took it home and did it myself for nothing- results 'perfect'.
