Fabio,
Please beleive me when I say that I did not take it as an insult in any way or form and read yours and other comments as constructive and positive.
My answer was also in the same vain.

When I started my business I also beleived I needed a shopping cart based web site. My wife Zane worked on getting the site up and we both chose the general format. Ever since then I have never needed my web site once to grow my business. I do understand that there are customers out there that prefer to use a web based shopping cart (me included sometimes). 928 Spec & 928 Int are great companies and offer that service as well as an element of personal service. I have no desire to emulate there business model.
My business has grown by 40% to 160% month on month for nearly 2 years now. I must be doing something right. So for now I will stick with what I have. Out of interest 60% of my business is overseas.

I'm glad to hear that.

I still need the Audi parts to go along with the Porkensioner I bought in the last group buy. Maybe I'll break out of my rut and pick up the phone this time.

I just send Roger an email with the parts I need and their part numbers. It really is no different than a web-based shopping cart...

I've bought a few things from Roger and have gotten out of this world service.

Roger, how about just adding a list with the parts you sell and their prices. Since I'm a frugal (cheap) its nice to have an idea have something to compare. I'll still email or call ya. Just a suggestion.
P.S. email sent with new parts order.

First of all let me say that PorKen's invention for the 928 is the best solution to a complex TB system. It may be the best invention for the 928 bar-none. His collaboration with Roger is an excellent pairing with hopefully much success.
I wish I could be first in line to benefit from this collaboration, but I already have one on my 928. Serial #11
I can't tell you how much this product simplifies the front end of a 928 engine. With no smog pump or viscous fan... it couldn't get much easier.

Prices have changed a bit. Lever arm is all over the place. The tensioner and pulley can vary wildly as well.

The Pulley can just be NTN brand and find the best price, but the tensioner itself looks like you could get fooled if you get the wrong part.

Yes we stock and sell the Audi parts as a kit with the PKensioner.
