ok, im familiar w/ Pelican....are there any other good places for aftermarket stuff and just general parts that I should be aware of? thanks!

Ryan Z

I have heard that on this site we ain't pushing anybodys parts in particular for once... ParagonParts, GermanPartsand Restoration are ones I know of for new stuff. Depends on what you want/need, so you could try the classifieds here too as lots of people have extra parts laying around that they would part with too.

I'm working with several vendors to offer club member discounts.

When somebody asks this question "where do I..." ask them where they live. Most of the time I will tell them to support their local guy if they have one.

Speaking of "where do you live?"

PEOPLE, FILL IN YOUR LOCATION IN YOUR PROFILE!

We're not the IRS, we just like to know where you're from. At least tell us what part of the continent (any continent) you are.

High Performance House is a great local shop that people in the bay area should support. But if all you need are tune up parts and you live in Virginia; or you're looking to browse a great online catalog then that's not the place to go.

i amended my profile I'm in Providence, RI. does that help any?

Oh man, you're screwed! I can't believe you bought a 914 in Providence, RI! Who told you to do that?

Performance Products has a lot of stuff, not always the best stuff or the best price, but they do give a PCA discount if you ask for it.
The others listed are good, too. I find that some vendors are good at some stuff and others at different stuff, so I check with lots of them.

If you don't read Excellence or get Panorama, join PCA and you'll get Pano and subscribe to Excellence, its a good source of info/sources.

Local Porsche dealer,Sunset Porsche, gives a PCA discount and the prices sometimes are not as bad as I expected. Sinset also offers deep discount to out of state buyers who have items shipped to there door.

B, if this violates the spirit of the club BBS (vendor-neutral) then please let me know and I'll delete it.


For vendor websites, there are:

http://www.pelicanparts.com
http://www.gprparts.com
http://www.aircooled.net
http://www.restoration-design.com/index1.html
http://www.paragon-products.com
http://www.automotion.com (now part of Performance Products)
http://www.autoatlanta.com

...And there are many more.

Just cause it's listed above doesn't mean I think it's a good place to go... Always do your own research on an on-line vendor; some are great and some are not so great. I won't offer my opinions on the above, except to mention that I work part-time for Pelican.

--DD

My opinion: I have only done business with Paragon and Pelican. I probably wont do business with Auto Atlanta because of the stories I have heard. Performance Prod is kinda spendy, so for most things, I would stay away from them as well. Not that the other are bad, I just have yet to do business with them. GPR and Air Cooled Net are good people from what I have heard. Also check around locally. My teacher just hooked me up with a guy about 8 miles from my house that has a garage full of 914 stuff he is looking to get rid of. Ill check it out this weekend and report

This guy is hilarious! When did he show up?

if you're talking about the headbanger smily, i uploaded that this morning
if you're talking about Chris Reale, i dunno ...

Andy

Maybe the headbanger smilie IS Chris Reale ???

Hey I had a mullet for two weeks. I got paid to wear it. It was actually more of a skullet, because I hadnt cut my har for like 6 months, and then just shaved the top. My girlfriend hated it

BTW, jason at paragon Products was the only person who could hook me up with Koni shocks right away. Everyone else was back ordered to hell...

The guy in RI has it easy. Its tropical down there.

How many sub-quotes can we quote before the BBS chokes?

Thanks guys. After a really shitty week I come home and find this.

MUST...STOP... LAUGHING..........NEED...AIR...!

I must confess that I had a pretty sweet mullet myself back in '86.

Don't forget http//www.HighPerformanceHouse.com

Hey Rich, I send them that way but I thought you were more used parts?
(Send a guy there yesterday looking for a GT front valence)
Geoff

tropical , my a**. i went sledding today on my freshly stolen cafeteria tray!! fun fun. nothing like walking through providence carrying your own food tray w/ brown university printed on the front, lol.....i got many knowing nods:) sorry for the rant.

Ryan Z

Have done alot of business with Performance Parts and am very happy with their service. I live 100 miles from Automobile Atlanta and will not use them again !!!!!!!!!
