    Places to buy parts?

    I was just wondering about where everyone gets their parts for their cars? I dont like going to advance auto, and I dont trust ebay. What places are there that are cheap, and trusted?

                  ECS is a good site. My go to places for parts are forums, pelican parts, turnermotorsport, and as stated ECStuning.
                  bavarian autosport isn't bad either but it seems like a lot of parts are always on back order

                      Also for looking up part numbers, I usually use this site. Just punch in your year, model and transmission and about every part number you'll ever need is at your finger tips.



                      www.realoem.com is another good one but I find the first one easier to navigate.

                      Copy and paste the part numbers into just about any of the previously mentioned parts supplier and you should find what you're looking for.

                        ECS, Pelican etc are all good, but most of us like to support the little guys (and frequent forum visitors) like Blunt and Guten ;)

                          rockauto.com is a pretty good place as well.

                            If you like ill-fitting cheap parts. No thanks. Customer brought all new hoses from them (uro brand) for us to install on his m20, half of them didn't fit, or rubbed something. :(
