You list what's relevant and don't confuse people with stuff that isn't for the particular position in question.

Please, lay off Marc. He has done nothing except get a job to put food on the table for our family, LITERALLY. You all know nothing about what goes on in people's lives but sit back and make judgements and jokes and play with Photoshop at work. Shame on you all.

All the blame should be squarely on my shoulders for the recent failings of DEVEK. I made a decision to try to keep it going after a failed partnership with some folks that we though could grow the business. I FAILED TO MAKE IT WORK. ME. SUSAN.

This is one time I AM going to hit the send button before editing or re-reading my post to tone it down.

Andy, I will address the delivery of your cams early next week. I will PM you my cell number so you can reach me at your convenience.

We ALL have that same problem. Communication is key. You waited until post 45 to respond.

When no information is forthcoming information is searched out.

Time to close the thread down. Devek is no longer one of the "Big Three" and that is a shame, someone there has been able to engineer some great stuff, but alas, it would seem to be no more.

So what are we left with on OEM parts?

928 international
928 specialists???? We've not heard much from them, as of late.

Is the part buisness for our cars getting that tight? I can say from watching Roger that theOEM parts buisness is huge for us and only seems to be growing larger as stealerships are turning away vehicles towards the independants. When it comes to aftermarket upgrades, engine or otherwise, the pickings are slim. Thank goodness for those that are thinking ahead. It's a niche market and it would seem that those that want to upgrade, need major $$ and a specialist shop to do so.

I can't imagine how the VW/Audi crew over in the 944 section gets along with out a dedicated parts source.

I don't know of ANY problems with 928 Specialists - recently got parts from them with their usual great service.
