anyone from arizona?
 

i didn't see a local area thread here so i thought i just post this as like a roll call

plus i have some questions on finding locations to good shops besides evoms i already go there a lot for my audi, and if anyone knows of german junk yards around the area

Yea I know of them, why.

i need to know the junk yards so i can check them out to see if i can purchase parts cheaper cus i had a little fender bender with a guard rail after a tank slapper experience...bald rears with psm off...whoops

Used Porsche parts -- try these folks: http://www.20thstreetauto.com/

it looks like they only sell the cars as a whole, do you know if they sell body parts off of the cars?

if not i'll just call them and ask

any more places i can check out?

How do you experience a "tank slapper" in a car?

First off, a tank slapper is an event that motorcycles can experience when the front suspension of the motorcycle is unloaded during a corner, and the front tire hits a rough road irregularity, that gets transmitted through the front forks, which then causes the handlebars to oscillate uncontrollably, thus the handlebars are repeatedly hitting the tank.

There's nothing (that I know of) that can cause the front tires of a car to go repeatedly lock to lock on its own.

Did you just simply have the back end of your car step out from behind you on a sharp curve?

BC.
