Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi Folks - The OPC is a mile from where I live in Cape Town and they are a great bunch of people but I have found that for certain 944 items for my S2 I have had to have bought from the USA. I would like to mention Pelican Parts and 944Online where they both have a huge indent of items, which are not readily available in the UK. As an example, my odometer spindle (see avatar side pic) was only available from the States...

But I digress - do you, my Forum friends, buy outside of the UK?

Anyway - just a thought

I think most of us buy UK as there's a good network of independents for when OPC is too pricey, plus ebay too for anything second hand. I would think if people are buying from overseas it will be for specific and modified parts, off people like Lindsey Racing.

Some good US suppliers that do things that aren't available elsewhere. Such as Zims etc.

The only thing I'm tempted to buy out of the UK is the dash cover for my square dash as I haven't seen any for sale in the UK.

I do agree that pelican parts is a good site though

I've bought a few things from the US but only when they're not available anymore in the UK or Germany. Fuel pressure regulator for my 83 944 was the last one and a odometer gear before that.

Slightly off topic but do many people rate the stuff they've got from Lindsey racing?

Better to have bought crap off Lindsey Racing than have bought Lindsey Racing crap off Promax for twice the price...
