Do you buy DSM parts on the web?

[WhoaTed]

Do you buy DSM parts on the web?

[Misundaztood]

Nope. AutoZone carries everything I need.;)

[DRW]

It's kinda a grey area for me. I find many DSM vendors and product info on the web, but I do the purchasing over the phone, or I go there direct. I give the web credit in one way or another for the vast majoriy of my purchases. Not all DSM vendors that I've used have a convenient web ordering system, but I don't let that stop me, just as long as there is some reliable way of getting through.

[dmoto92]

I buy almost all of my parts via the web. Great price and good luck with suppliers (so far!)

[jetfixer]

I buy almost all of my parts via the web. Great price and good luck with suppliers (so far!)


Ditto. I am in central VA and there is virtually nothing but crappy import stores that come nowhere near online prices after shipping!! Plus almost every reputable vendor will talk to you on the phone and answer any questions.

[AWD_DSM]

I get most from HTP at the shop

[Miff]

Online, and junkyards.

[Turbo8]

When you start getting into the more expensive products you almost have to buy them online here in Kansas unless you can find a used product from others which happens alot here. We also go to junk yards and search for random stuff there. Lots of homemade intakes, IC piping, boost controllers, etc.

[HIDDEN_SUN_GST]

yes!

[ralliartist]

yea, a lot of times it's easier and cheaper cause most everyone has parts for sell in the classifieds of all the dsm forums.

[scrapin_frame]

i spend alot of time searching classifieds online for an incredible deal to jump out at me...
i do buy some stuff from a local dsm shop

[Boorail85]

I do.. sometimes.. I get alot of parts from classifieds or local dsm guys I know (there are a ton in Houston) .. I have also bought from Ebay.. but My fav. vendor would probabily be DSMParts.. cheapest and a big variety.

[92fwricer]

either local dsm'ers or on the web.

[Darksurfr]

Aftermarket = web

Stock replacement = Rockville Mitsu!

[95orangeGSX]

Parts are so much cheaper on the web. Thanks mainly to e-bay

[jvlaeclipse]

yes, because they know what i need and helps me install it.

[Dark Dragon]

i get most of my stuff from SBR...

[T_K]

I've mostly bought stock maintenance parts for now from online vendors and the few perf. parts I've got I got from local DSM boards.

[AWD Gen1 GSX]

i really have no choice...there are no aftermarket parts stores in the area. Although I have found some random things at Home Depot...:P

[Sinistr]

Mostly online, visit junkyards on occasion.

[Gamble]

I have dumped lots of money to build my motor, and I think the only things I didn't buy on the web is, brake clean, pb blaster and misc bolts.

[boosted92dsm]

I do all the time. If i lived in Chicago i would just buy everything from AMS though:cool:

[dmoto92]

Started kind of slow, but now I do most of my shopping on line.

[BostinSwifty38]

I buy used from NABR members, I buy stuff from summit, and other places like extremepsi, slowboy, etc.

-A. Swift

[BostinSwifty38]

oh, and of course ebay.

-A. Swift

[95RedRS]

JNZtuning...and The Forums I'm on.

[Kouryou]

eBay, Craigslist, or local but I like to see if I can find used on eBay or Craigslist first.

[foxgst]

Mostly ebay...no real big name places. Locally too.

[silvercoupe97]

Anywhere with competitive pricing.

[jreese86]

I buy my stuff online because I either trust the vendors (Buschur, etc) or because I buy used since I'm usually broke.

NAPA/Autozone for the common stuff though.

[johnnytsi]

http://www.mitsubishiparts.net

and eBay

John-

[dsm_roller]

I buy everything online. I never buy from local speedshops

[sinhowang]

I go to mainly extremepsi for most of my parts so far and dsmtrader

[ezekiel888]

I love internet shopping. DSM classifieds are a gift from god. Where esle can you find brand new / slightly used parts at low prices. The only downside is the damn shipping.

[KyleGST]

extremepsi.com
autopartswarehouse.com for replacements
ebay

[projecTSI]

so far, I have bought almost everything from ebay

[carkid15]

I have parts cars laying around so I dont nedd many parts but all the performance goodies come from the only performance store I like and thats

-----------------------------EBAYmotors------------------------------

[turbotalon1g]

I buy online, usually used cause its cheap and i try to get as much info on people as possible. But now i am kinda sponsored so i don't need to as much

[Thebullfrog]

All my stuff came from the web. And why did we resurrect a thread with an original post date of 2002?

[chowda633]

Almost all parts rest from local people

[turbo_red4g63]

the web is the cheapest place to get parts mostly.

[1gnasty]

ill buy a few ports from online vendors i have no problem with that but for mayor parts i rather buy from local shop

[doorknob329]

i get alot of stuff online

[95_eclipse_gs-t]

I generaly find the parts that i want on the web, especially performancecenter.com, but i never buy from them they just have a good catologue but are to expensive, i buy from other sites.

[Wringer]

I have only bought a transfer case and I didn't get it online. But damnit I wish I would have.:wall:

[DSMGates]

I have bought some things from Slowboyracing, and ebay.

[shadow_FIX]

Of course I buy parts on the web. Actually there isn't one part on my car I've installed since I bought it that hasn't come from the web. Anything OEM comes from JNZ tuning, and other vendors are SBR, TireRack, and eBay.

[alleyoopstar]

www.hahnracecraft.com
www.machv.com
www.conceptillusions.com
www.horsepowerfreaks.com
Oh yeah, and ebay.

[partemisio]

I buy all new parts online and used parts local.

[brock987]

forced performance is my best freind for most my parts

[1GawdJunkie]

I would have to say that most of my parts have come from the web. Others have been from the local auto parts, junkyard, hardware store, local speed shop, dealer if I must and have even made 1 or 2 myself.

[Stoicalpear]

I find that
Maperformance.com
slowboyracing.com (last resort)
and my new favorite JNZtuning.com are the best thus far.

[92fwdMITSU]

Buy pretty much everything for my cars online. OEM or aftermarket, its just easier to do over the 'net.

[The_EE]

I find that
Maperformance.com
slowboyracing.com (last resort)
and my new favorite JNZtuning.com are the best thus far.

I have used both the top and the bottom in the last week but the middle one, Too many problems with them, they are like my ex-gf, kicked to the curb, please dont show your face here no more.

[92fwdMITSU]

Never heard of Maperformance.com before. Guess I'll have to check them out. I've ordered from slowboy before twice and never ran into issues but they do seem to get an awful lot of bad press.

ExtremePSI has been my favorite vendor by far. Quick shipping and great prices.

I just placed my first order from JNZTuning and after talking to Eric on the phone I'm sure I will be ordering plenty more from them.

[blakkjak]

sigh, im an ebay junkie but I've learned to just find deals on the good stuff

[Wraith]

It's surprisingly hard to find DSM parts here in NASCARville NC.

[Flow-Bro]

I pretty much buy all my stuff on the web; I have used Ultra Rev, Slowboy, Maperformance, Extremepsi, EBAY, and JNZ Tuning.

[GS4U2NV]

Online & at salvage yards

[dsmvr4]

I buy anything of line that i cant get at the local parts store or mitsu.

[Wraith]

Come to think of it, I bought my entire DSM on the web.

[HATEMENOW]

I buy most of my performance parts off the internet, but I work at a audi dealer so almost every thing I need for replacement parts I get a whole sale price on which is nice

[TSi SS-R]

It is just so convienent. Tools, parts, ladies etc heh..( www.plentyoffish.com )

[99eclipseNT]

I mostly buy all of my stuff off of the web. I actually work at Advance Auto Parts and we don't really have enough stuff to please me.

[Lightw8TSi]

I've never bought a part in person. Never. Always cheaper online is what I find. Have friends on the web that can get me good deals on new parts so I go through them. Hell, back in the early '00's I rode BMX and I never bought a part in person, only from the web. Had the hookup back then too.

It is probably due to my location and availabilities of products and decent prices but I find e-shopping to be the e-shit!

[Chuck_3]

Only way I can get parts is online! Lots of good dsm vendors out there: JNZ, extremepsi, maperformance, ets to name some.

[90redgst]

Hell yes!!!

[dsmskyline]

Think of it this way, if you are buying parts for the DSM, its probably broken. Broken DSM= No transportation for most people. Except for us smart people who KNOW it can breakdown and have a back up (or 2 lol)

Thomas
90 TSi AWD

[mechanic]

unfortunately yes. i hate that the web has made it impossible for local shops to compete pricewise because i prefer to support local businesses, but i'm not rich, so i have to buy the best deal online. besides, nobody locally really stocks anything anyway, so they would have to order it too, which means i could just as easily order it, get it faster and cheaper.

[Boxcarracer944]

In my experience I have to travel at least 75 miles to get to a 'DSM supplier', so it's cheaper in gas and prices to shop on the web.

[timhill78]

I'm far to cheap to buy anything but used parts off the internet

[DSM_Zak]

ExtremePSi.com
Junkyards
Dealership
SOME used parts, very little.

Thats where I've spent 99% of my money that went into my car.

[ink_addiction49]

If I could find a supplier that knew the difference between a 420A and a 4g63 I would buy ALL parts on the net

[sittingduck]

Don't know what I'd do without Internet or home depot.

[xuberantz]

I've used JNZ and SBR a few times for small things. I've yet to have a problem with either, and with the new job I should be ordering a lot more very soon.

[1fastgs-t]

MAPerformance
ExtremePSi
Both great customer service and fast accurate shipping at the best prices.

Used to be Slowboy SBR. Now, not so much. Like many others, I had problems with shipping, fake "20G" turbos, etc. from them.

[harry99GSX]

JNZ................... Baby !

Chris and Eric have been taking very good care of me lately. :banana:

It sucks though cause they are only 25 minutes away from me................. Makes buying WAY TOO EASY ! ;)

I have also ordered some things from Extreme PSI and have also had great dealings.

And to the guys here at TALK................. Nothing but good things to say about my transactions with them.............. You all know who you are. :)

i second the shipping problems with SBR. i got screwed. ordered bunch of parts, took WAY too long (4 weeks or so) and i call to cancel and they want to charge me a restocking fee from my 1000+ dollar purchase. i wont ever do business with them again. they should have gotten shit out the first time OR let me know if anything was backordered then i would have been alright with it but i was never told anything was on backorder. had to call numerous times and got the run-around. Ive convinced plenty of others not to even order from them these days after telling the story.

I highly suggest you read the forum rules. You must have correct sentence structure.

Use it when needed.

[TsiLuver]

Yes I do.

[wht94gst]

Sometimes, just depends on what it is.

[corsair231]

Yep. Better than going to the stealership.

[Matemorh]

I do buy most from the WEB. Parts are a lot cheaper at autozone and alike than here at NAPA ?!?!?!? Beat me why??:dunno:

[DirtyDsmer]

I've bought a few parts on ebay... But mostly from Glazer in Maryland, I've been buying my stuff there for awhile. He gives me better prices most of the time on alot of shit.

[Don Boosted]

Online, and junkyards.

The junkyard has all of those random parts you need and they are all free. ;) As long as it fits in your pockets...
If you find a DSM in the southchicagoland junkyard area w/o an ecu... you know me and "i need a dsm" have been there.:cool:

[JBOstrander]

LOL you can get DSM parts off line?!? But seriously Extremem PSI is awesome, I do almost all my buisness through them :-)

[fliprsx02]

LOL you can get DSM parts off line?!? But seriously Extremem PSI is awesome, I do almost all my buisness through them :-)

Road race engineering, have all the stock parts and aftermarket, place rules, and only 15min away. :D

[uberchargedDSM]

ExtremePsi is hands down the best dsm online store on the web, I buy all my stuff from them and I love their service.

[1512gvr4]

i buy my stuff from full function

[DRW]

i buy my stuff from full function
Full Function? How long have they been a DSM shop? Got a web addy for them?

[LiQUiDx]

I mainly shop at RRE and MachV. Pretty much done with DSMparts due to some complications. For more nonspecific parts I goto my local auto shop.

[frankozz]

Well, if I want performance parts I buy them online, if I want like parts for a tune up, or car audio I usually buy it in autozone or best buy

[dalonesoldier]

i get some from from AutoZone, and the rest on the internet.

[98gsxjeff]

I use Horsepowerfreaks, ExtremePsi, and the local mitsu dealership. I have thought about using DSMParts but I don't know if they are really trustwothy. Oh and SlowboyRacing dicked me around on my DejonTOOL stuff. should have just gone directly to him. lesson learned

[AWD420]

Depending on what I need I can go to the junkyard. But alot of the critical parts were already taken so the internet always has a listing for a contact or a place to order parts. I found an ebay vendor near me who had a cylinder head for $100 and the engine had 90k on it. Drove up to pick it up and it looks to be in great shape. The machine shop will prove it :D

[myAWDgst]

EXTREMEPSI or DEALER

[98_GstEclipse]

Slowboy FTW!! Sometimes Ebay depending on what it is and now Im going to start ordering from www.yoparts.com

[NY 95 TSI AWD]

I get most of my DSM specific parts online.

[EclipsN]

I am addicted to ebay and Craigslist. You can't beat the prices most of the time on either...whether it be new or used. Then I usually resort to the local guys.

[TheyCallMe Tim]

I get almost everything from Slowboy and AMS, a little ebay/craigslist here and there. There really aren't any good dealers around here so I almost always have to resort to the interwebz or local DSMers.

[391dman]

I always research what I need, then try to find it at a cheaper price from an ebay store. Works pretty well!

[DWs97GST]

Only screwed once off the web and it was from a big company recently. I do not buy used parts...

[Theo]

I would say about 50/50. I have purchased a coil pack, spark plugs, all my fluids, and some other odds and ins in person so far. I just purchased a CAS online and I'm sure much of the aftermarket items will be online.

[ibjamin01]

I have a few online vendors that I will stick by no matter what.

[goodluck_laser]

For me I can get better selection of parts on the web since I don't live down in the states and can't visit there anytime soon.

[SlimDSM]

ExtremePSI, STM, and Ebay

[L0ckett]

I do buy most of my parts online. I don't have my DSM yet (but will as of april 3rd) and I'm sure most of the parts are gonna be bought online.

[Venkman]

I have had a lot of luck locating parts off car-parts.com

[u2slow]

Almost always.

[PandaTalon]

extreme psi

[Marq97GSX]

STM, MAP, DSMTALKers, FP, ExPsi.

[HHO Talon]

like most, if its Aftermarket then its off the web and if its stock then where ever is cheapest.

[Gooberlog]

try to help out my fellow boys on dsmtuners classifieds and dsmtrader, can access dsmtalk yet

[nuke]

Most of the stuff I order is either over the phone or on the web there really aren't any good shops around Roanoke but supposidley there are some good shops in Norfolk so that might change.

[MacGSX]

try to help out my fellow boys on dsmtuners classifieds and dsmtrader, can access dsmtalk yet


2003 and havnt reached 50 yet... Thats serious lurker status.

Jordan

[oVaBoost]

I buy from STM, Extreme psi, slowboy racing, DSM graveyard, MAP, JNZ

[1999Gsx6Bolt]

Two sites only
Extreme Psi and JNZTuning
Two reasons
Thay have everything I need and they are close to me (practically next day shipping for ground shipping prices)

[lovintsitalon97]

Hell no you never know what you are getting and if u need to return it for some reason u have to wait for it.:mad: I like going to O'Reillys cause they are hands on with you and i live about a mile from the store so i can get it or take it back right away and get my money back or be satisfied.:)

[tryingtobebest]

yes i do!)

[dsmking101]

i would if i can find some I cant find a uper and lower timing belt cover it any one can help me out email me at teamb4rs@gmail.com

[BamaboyGSX]

There are no shops in Alaska, hmm I should open one. I am forced to buy my stuff online. Also there are not any junk yards there. I have to go to use an online junk yard and the shipping SUCKS!

[Roxi]

I was trying to.....is this forum extinct or what? All threads are locked?

[Roxi]

I am looking for a place to purchase an Autotrans that does not go out every couple of years. I love my car but it sucks putting a trans in all the time. I have a 2.4 gs and I know its not a performance model but the trans should handle stock HP.....?

I would love to find a good gst 5 spd 97-99

[killercolt]

i am a fan of slowboy racing.

[thepartyman]

I got every part from JNZ off the web!!

[nijap]

My car wouldn't be what it is today without the web. "In the shop", but I still love it.

[Octane]

Ordering online is really convienient and its like christmas everytime their is a couple boxes waiting on the door step when I come home from work.:tree:

[PorkChop]

There are no shops in Alaska, hmm I should open one. I am forced to buy my stuff online. Also there are not any junk yards there. I have to go to use an online junk yard and the shipping SUCKS!

Been there and know what ya mean! Always have to read the fine print cause usually things are different for Alaska and Hawaii. Have you checked out Extremepsi online yet? Oh and yeh you should open up shop man, I'll bring a trailer full of parts when I head back up there:D

[/Womby\]

WWWWWWWWWeeebbb

[/Womby\]

Stay away from slowboy, they moved to Flordia and now they suck, they must not be up and running down there.They couldn't even press my ffenn pistons, morons. I'm new to this forums and I had some kick as$ pics of my 4G63 prior to rebuild. But it says I may not post attachments, gay

[Psycho5150]

Really depends on the part, though most aftermarket I hit the web.

[dsmspickdad]

Most of my purchases are from the web. I ck tuners for a lot parts. Since thye have changed the site looking for another site to buy parts.

[timhill78]

I get almost all my parts on the web

[arckain]

Yep, definitely buy them from the web. But I try to stay away from ebay. If I could buy them cheap around here I probably would though.
