New Vendors? Misc vendors?

[Eriol]

Horsepowerfreaks has some good stuff that others don't -- like the carbon fiber driveshaft I would buy, if I could afford it. I think they would be a great addition to the vendor section.

I have sometimes spent hours scouring the internet for a part I want. Anything that makes it easier for me to find what I'm looking for would be great. And anything that places these parts within reach of my po-ass college-student budget would be good, too.

I really like how member-oriented this site is. That is what an online community should be all about, in my opinion.

I agree with what that guy said about the MKIII being a boutique market, though -- there isn't a lot of aftermarket demand. As is, it is probably barely worthwile for some venders to bother offering parts for the MKIII -- if we relentlessly demand competition and low prices, I think it's entirely possible that our aftermarket support could begin to dry up. I would also hate to see some of the indie vendors who do what they do out of a passion for the platform get shoved aside by large vendors who can beat their selections and undercut their prices. So there is definitely a delicate balance to be struck.

HPF is a cool place, and good guys.

The are MK3 friendly. I'm sure it would work in our favor to have them aboard.

I say we support the vendors who support us... HPF has shown this with service and innovation in regards to ma70 specific parts... Just my $.02

Many thanks for all the input, folks.

I know this may be about dead, and your decision may already be made....Regardless, I've put quite a bit of thought into this...well as much as one could I suppose...and of the few big shops/stores I can think of HPF is the only one I'm comfortable with. When Joe Schesso ran the MKIII dept he never once steered me wrong. Now that I know they're not such a huge part of SF, and I know that MA71SupraTurbo (who I've admired for quite some time) is the head of the MKIII dept I feel safe again with them. If you're going to give it to anyone big I think it should be them.

Cast another vote for HPF from me I've just dropped a big chunk of change with them based on DrJ's recommendation and all dealings have been timely and professional!
