I was wondering if anyone in Houston knew where to get parts for the 914 besides BAP-GEON? Ive been using them the past couple of weeks but they dont always have the parts i need. Just seeing what other people are getting their parts from locally, im looking for a head temp sensor.
These cars are so old now that they have become specialists cars, meaning people who specifically deal in parts and service for them. I do not know anyone any more dedicated than the vendors who advertise on this particular site and by all means they should be supported.
They will be glad to hear from you, know everything about the cars, and not give you a nasty scowl like the guys at the part counter selling rice burner parts! PLUS if you really need a part you can get it the next day along with a little on the phone advice.
Here for example if you say: I want to purchase a starter for my 914, we will not say ok and send it, but rather: Why do you think that you need a starter? Knowing that there are many other things that can cause a starter to misfunction, and the last thing that WE need to do is send you a part that you do not need.
That is one of the many problems of ordering on line: you may order something you do not need!
