914'ers revolt! Time to take a stand for integrity! Refuse to buy on price alone.

How much more do we need to tolerate? Our cars demand the respect of using only high-quality parts. If you want Porsche to keep supporting the 914 into the future, buy only OEM when available. Finding the best sources and deals is one thing but using low-quality parts because they are cheap is not what 914s are about.

Hats off to the repro guys producing only high-quality and only where OEM is not available so as not to compete.

Resist the urge to buy junk parts and they will go away.
