POLL: What the best type of metal for car parts?
I'm tryin to pimp out my 2000 ford focus and I want to know what is the best metal for hubcaps, mufflers, ect.
Chrome
Alloy
Stainless Steel
Aluminum
Also what type of metal is the standard and comes with most cars?|||You should use different metals for different tasks.
Chrome is only suitable as a coating and parts are rarely made from chrome. It's a wonderful material to coat some types of parts as it can protect against corrosion and tends to look good.
Alloy is actually the generic term for any two or more metals combined together. Most metals used in car construction are alloys or at least not pure. Aluminium is rarely found as anything except an alloy.
Stainless steel, or as it is usually referred to in the industry, corrosion resistant steel, is very useful for parts which might otherwise corrode, but otherwise its properties aren't great. Other alloys tend to work better where corrosion is unlikely to be a problem.
Aluminium, or more precisely, aluminium alloys are fantastic for certain car parts. It tends to be fairly corrosion resilient while also being quite light, but it is expensive for structural items. It is perfect for use in lightweight wheels and engine parts.
Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (usually known as carbon fibre) is also very useful, though expensive.
For wheels, if you can't stretch to the cost of CFRP ones, magnesium alloy wheels can be exceptionally light (good for handling and ride).
For hubcaps, either aluminium, plastic or chrome plated is pretty essential to keep corrosion down. That said, hubcaps add weight and rarely do anything to the performance of the car.
For mufflers, chrome plating, or stainless steel is good as these are very prone to corrosion (high temperatures and lots of access to moisture). Aluminium doesn't work so well here are it tends to not handle the heat so well.

It's not that complicated. It's the most direct, hands on approach, to learning how to take cars apart.
But most junk yards don't hire people to take parts off, so that's the wrong place to look.

Should a car newbie sticking with Genuine honda car parts or go for aftermarket parts?
I have an 2001 Honda Accord LX 4-cyl, and sooner or later I will be confronted to purchase car parts for my car. My question is should I stick with all genuine honda parts or go for the aftermarket parts? If so, what are the pros and cons of it?|||pros = genuine honda parts, most come with a warranty
cons - super expensive, labor for them at the honda dealership even more expensive
you should be more specific on what parts you need, everything you need for your engine doesnt have to be a honda part..|||On a relatively new vehicles (not ford!) - let's say up to 10 yo - I would use Honda parts. After all, you don't need them too often, and a few extra bucks may save you truckload of grief. When the vehicle gets to the point of potentially dying for good - 200,000+ (50K for ford) miles - I usually switch to aftermarket. But again, it all depends on a particular part - I would NEVER buy an aftermarket oil filter because no matter how you look at it, engine replacement is more costly than $2 difference. Same goes for spark plugs, brake pads, and suchlike. Quite frankly, I never had to deal with more significant components needing replacement on all my numerous hondas over the last 20 years.|||I have never had any problems using aftermarket parts. For honda's, auto tranny fluid, radiotor fluid should be genuine honda stuff.

They just leave it there and when anyone needs parts they just take them and pay. Or, you can take it apart yourself and sell it on ebay/craigslist.|||You would be wisest to turn your back on this car right now, after of course paying the repair shop's bill.

If I buy car parts (hood, headlights, bumper cover), will an auto shop put the parts I buy on my car for me?
I'm looking to save some money by buying cheaper parts online or at junk shops. If I buy these parts, can I bring them to an auto shop, and will they put the parts on the car for me? Or will they tell me that I have to buy new parts from them?|||Yes i agree with the guy 2 above me. Most shops DO NOT install parts you buy yourself. They fear about having being responsible if something should go wrong. ie. if your bumper cracks because it is crap. They dont wanna be responsible for these types of things. If anything, just go on a forum and see if there is anyone in your area that would do it for you. Maybe you can get away with just buying beer and meals. Maybe a little bit more. Cheap is NEVER better. Do alot of research before you commit to buying a part. Don't buy cheap body parts, they NEVER match up and you will have to get more body work done. Good luck with them though.|||Well, as a mechanic (part time now), I can honestly tell you that you won't save any money by having a shop put it on. They will likley charge you almost as much "for labor" as they would if you had bought it from them and had them install it. I recommend finding a friend or a neighbor to help you out. Even better, you can have someone teach you how to do it by example, that way it'll be done and you know how to fix it if it has to be replaced. It would be way cheaper to bribe a friend to do it (if they know how to do it).|||depending on the shop, they most likely will put on your parts but they won't offer a guarantee or warranty if the parts fail, do not fit, or in turn cause problems to other parts of the vehicle. basically you will release their liability if anything goes wrong. and if they attempt to put your parts on and it doesn't fit or if they screw something up, guess what, you're still paying them for their time and labor. best bet is to shop around for a good deal on parts and labor! good luck!|||Most likely not. Auto repair shops make money on the parts that they order. Plus, they will not want to guarantee that the parts that you scavenged will actually fit your car. If you want to save some money, learn how to put the parts on the car yourself.|||Yes any car shop will put your parts on as long as they are made for your car. The shop will probably charge you labor plus a fee for bringing your own parts. get a couple of different quotes before you allow any bastard mechanic to touch your ride. Good luck.|||Most shops do not i have run a shop for over 35 years and we do not install parts that you bought. If you would like us to get them from a junk yard we will do that. But we do not install your parts.|||They will do it. It's a "labor only" sale. They don't mind. Ya they make slightly less money because they don't charge a fee for the parts. But, they don't have to waste the time to get them for you.|||No reputable repair shop will use your parts, some independents might do it. Hit up the Community college and see if they have any openings for it. Or do it yourself.|||umm im not sure but i think you can just tell them to put it on for you.... but they might charge you so they can put it on for you. for the labor work|||Some places will,but your better off with a friend that knows a bit,as for parts buying and what not. It could easily end up costing you more... Sometimes cheaper parts will not fit properly....or are not exact....|||no...they're supposed to put on YOUR parts. (providing you get the correct ones...) cheap is not always better and will not always work...(especially on Honda's.)
Can you bring car parts in your carry-on luggage when you fly?
I'm planning on packing a set of ceramic/metal brake pads for a car in my carry-on luggage. I'm flying between Canada/USA. Is this allowed?|||yes you can bring them. however, they will probably pull you aside and do a thorough search. why? they won't know what they are at first, and it's out of the ordinary. that goes for putting anything atypical in your luggage.
as long as you aren't bothered by that and allocate for the delay no problem. if not, check the bags. and, if you do that, make sure they can open the checked bag, because it's likely they'll unpack them to take a look. whenever i put my car GPS in my packed luggage, i find that it's been opened and rifled through. if you lock your checked luggage, they'll cut it open.|||Hard to say.

Are electric car parts cheaper than car parts for gasoline powered cars?
I'm doing a school report and I'm comparing electric cars to gasoline powered cars to see if car dealers should sell electric cars.|||some of the electric car parts are more expensive but most of them lasts longer than gas powered cars|||Yes, out of 800 million vehicles on the planet, the world's cheapest vehicle to operate IS AN ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK.
However, the electric car INDUSTRY is dead.
The Electric Vehicle (taken as a "cottage" industry) can possibly be saved if the high cost of replacement batteries can be reduced. At the present time, the replacement batteries cost [2X-10X] that of paying for gasoline on a per-mile basis. Reference: http://ev-diary-experiment.blogspot.com/
In the January 2008 issue of Wired magazine, there is a cost-analysis of electric versus gasoline vehicles which purports that electricity cost is under $300 a year for electric, and $1,800 a year for gasoline. However, the Wired magazine doesn't take into consideration the depreciation of the electric car battery. For a Lithium-Ion electric car, the cost of a battery pack is approximately $30,000 and a careless procedure or electronic or battery charger's software failure could wipe that out; as it has with several electric vehicle owners.

Reference: Google search this - WORLD'S CHEAPEST VEHICLE TO OPERATE|||i dont know much about cars but i think that electric cars parts are more expensive because they are more rare|||I have an electric car, and in general common parts (brakes, lights, tires and such) are the same price as a 'regular' car. However, electric cars are much easier to maintain - no oil to change, no gas or oil filters, no exhaust system to smog check every year, no radiator to keep full of antifreeze. Since those parts don't exist on an electric car, you can't spend money on them.
But as with everything, there are trade-offs. Many electric cars are conversions - the gasoline engine and parts to make it work are removed, and an electric motor, batteries, and controller is installed (along with other parts such as wiring). The motor and controller are generally maintenance free, but lead acid batteries (most common in electric car conversions) need to be checked every month or so, and filled with distilled water (about $2.00 a gallon - I hardly use a gallon a year).
Eventually the batteries will wear out, and will have to be replaced in four or five years (depending on how they are used). If they are abused, they may only last a year or two. If they are babied they may last more than five years. The batteries are recycled by the battery dealer.
The cost will depend on how many batteries are in the vehicle, but a rough estimate is about $90 for each six-volt battery, or about $1440 for a 96 volt car. Divided by five years, the batteries cost about $288 a year, or about the same as having the annual smog check done and getting the oil changed three or four times a year.
My electric car uses about 1 kilowatt hour of electricity to go three miles. Our city has a special rate for charging electric cars, and it costs six cents per kilowatt hour, or two cents a mile. In contrast, my 'gas' car (a Prius) gets 48 MPG, and with gasoline at $3.40 a gallon, the per mile cost is about seven cents.

Add a few hours labor to disassemble your steering column to get to the wiring and $400 might actually be a very fair price. Get some estimates at an independent garage who usually are a bit cheaper than a dealer.|||I'm not sure what a "master switch" is but many parts are only available through authorized Honda dealers. You may not be able to buy this part from an independent parts supplier.
It may not be the price of the switch that is your problem, it may be the high cost of labor the dealership is charging you to install the switch.

Are foreign car parts really more expensie than american car parts?
By foreign, I mean toyota, honda, suzuki, hyundai, and kia (the latter two seem to be terrible but have great warranties). A dealer told me that the 1997 land cruiser that I was looking at would cost more to fix than an american navigator etc. Is it true? Comparing apples to apples, are japanese car replacement parts more expensive than american cars. Are they more reliable?|||1.SOUNDS LIKE A SALE PITCH TO ME.
2.TOYOTA IS THE BEST THEY HOLD THERE VALUE LONGER.THE PARTS ARE EASIER TO FIND, AND CHEAPER.
3.DEPENDING ON THECAR.
EVERY CAR HAS IT'S PROBLEMS THE REAL TRICK IS TO KNOW WHAT PROBLEMS ARE AND BUYING THE ONE THAT DOSN'T BLOWN AN ENGINE OR TRANS ALL THE TIME|||I'm so glad you asked this question.
As an appraiser, I always get steamed when all a car needs is a little doohicky, but to get it, you have to buy an entire assembly for hundreds of dollars.
All the foreign carmakers are villians when it comes to forcing the consumer to buy entire assemblies. I don't run into this on American cars as much, and I've got to plug Saturn for having the most reasonable part prices in the entire industry.
I drive a 40 year old car, but if I were to buy a new car, I'd get a Saturn.
.|||They might be sleightly more expensive (say 5-10%) due to tariffs mainly.
But they can't be too much more expensive, without benefits such as reliabillity, or else those cars would not sell.
So don't sweat it. They will probably last longer.|||Yeah. My dads old S-10s air filter was alot cheaper than my moms old Honda|||For a change, the dealer told you the truth - Lexus is a bit more expensive to fix than a lincoln BUT the difference is not drastic AND you don't need to fix it on a daily basis... unlike navigator. Not to mention gas mileage.
BTW, what's wrong with buying a smaller but NEW vehicle?|||IMHO I feel that they are more expensive. The American cars are just as good, and now they are even out ranking the foreign cars for safety. I haven't bought any parts for foreign cars in decades. I don't mess with them. but the last parts that I bought were quite expensive as compared to the American counter part.
Get what you want. It is America after all. But think about keeping the money in the US. We have a bad enough trade deficit now no use making it worse. good luck|||I am assuming you are considering buying a car. Here is the bottom line.
Domestic car parts are less expensive and fixing them less expensive than forign cars.
The top Japanese cars are so reliable they break or wear out less often. Japanese cars have higher resale value.
The Japanese cars are therefore better values.|||I have found this to be true many times. If you have a friend at a parts store, you can cross reference the parts and buy the same brand at a lower price.|||No they are not more expensive. Most car parts for American cars are not made in this country. Toyota and Honda products are very reliable. Check out consumer reports April issue.|||Flat Out YES, but they tend to be more reliable but it cost so much more in the long run

How can I replace car parts?
I have some car parts like Fog Light, muffler, Bumper, and Antenna that I want to replace on my car If I buy the parts myself can I have someone like a mechanic put them on for me at the auto shop?|||Well Crystal mechanical shops like to sell you parts themselves for several reasons the main one being profit. However times being tough and all many will let you bring your own parts. Call and make them aware of your wishes before taking your car in. One thing to remember though is if you supply your own parts most shops will not warranty your repairs and you need to make sure the parts you bring them are the correct ones not always an easy task. Hope this helps.
How much more do foreign car parts cost than domestic parts?
For example, how much more would Mazda3 parts cost than Ford Focus parts?|||that's almost impossible to answer ,because you didn't ask for any part in particular,and some of the foreign parts are cheaper than the American made ones,some of the parts for the fords are pretty expensive these days,while prices aren't that bad on some of the things on a mazda,good luck.

Is it better to sell your car for parts than selling the car itself?
My car started having some issues but was still running until my cousin tried to fix it and apparently didn't know what he was doing. Now it doesn't work. I had already been thinking about selling the car but now there's no way I could get nearly as much money for it. To get more money, would it be better to sell it for parts or just sell the car to somebody as a fix up?|||You should sell it as is because you would have to take it apart and find a market to sell it too I mean how many people are looking for that specific part of your car 1/5000 depending on how many cars were made and beside you'll never get rid of it in parts you'll just end up with scrap metal at the end and some people while they're taking parts they want will tend to break other things to get What they need just sell it from 400-600 depending on the year and how clean it is|||why don't you take it to a mechanic and see what's wrong with it. then if its a fix you can afford, have it repaired and sell it for more money|||You might be able to get more money by selling it in parts, depends on what kind of car it is.

What do illegal car parts effect in terms of your insurance/ smog check/ DMV?
was thinking about letting my friend build me a custom cold air intake and him installing it into my car. If i were to do this im pretty sure that i would have to replace it every smog check, but how will it affect my insurance if i were to get into an accident with it? What other things should i know if i were to drive with illegal car parts in terms of other mechanics fixing it or just other info...
Thanks.|||No, there is no smog device before the metering device, and that is all he would or could replace. Nor is any device illegal. Modifications are all legal, as long as you pass DEQ, and you can always apply for a variance even if you do not pass, as custom and race cars often do.
Nor does the insurance company have any authority to know anything at all about it.
Have the world modifies their engines somehow, with chips, cold air intakes, and even turbo chargers.
If Ferrari can sell new cars with all this stuff and all that horsepower, you can do it to your car as well. It is not illegal until they start making Ferraris illegal.
Are they going to fail you if you put a Ferrari engine into your car?
I don't think so.
What DEQ will check is whether or not you are illegally diverting exhaust around the tailpipe, where they are trying to check it.
But if you live in California, you should probably check their laws in more detail, because they do lots of things that don't make sense and are not really legal. That is because they claim no one needs to be able to drive.

What is a fair asking price to sell a car for parts?
I need to sell my 94 Ford Ranger either for parts or to someone who doesn't mind repairing their own car. It needs a wheel bearing and a radial arm right now. Would it be fair to charge 500 for it or would I be ripping someone off?

How can i buy salvage title car for parts only?
I want to buy a car which was in collision.However the car has undamaged parts on it.Such as engine and transmission.Owner is not parting it out but selling the whole car .She says she has salvage title.What are the frauds of buying selling this kind of title?Can i just buy the car and tow it in my garage and get the parts then bring it in junk yard without registering vehicle?|||Yeah, no problem at all. Just buy it, tow it home and do what you want with it.
There is no requirement to register a car. Especially a salvage one you intend to use for parts.
Just realize that the car will never be able to be registered without cleaning up the title, which only re builders can do.
As long as the seller has clear title in his name, you should be fine.
Just make sure its in the sellers name. Far less chance of it being stolen that way.
--
Edit, you can check with the cops or the DMV to see if it is stolen. Carfax might show that too but its a waste of money otherwise. If the sellers name is on the front, chances are very, very high its not stolen.
Theres no other security benefit to registering it. Indeed, in many states, YOU CANT register a salvage car because you cant drive one.
The only thing you would get would possibly be a title with your name on the front instead of the back.
And you dont really need that as long as you retain the bill of sale %26amp; title.|||Try to sell the car less parts you need to a junkyard first. They will tell you what you need to make it legal and it will give you a sense of the value,,,Who knows you might make money.

I am opening a car parts business. I am gonna buy cars, strip them and sell. How can I price parts?
Knowing the cost of the car, and how much I intend to make out of it, is there a way I can figure out suitable prices for the parts, for example: motor %30??|||Look on craigslist and eBaym|||Parting out cars is a BAD idea to make money since most people barely break even when they do part out a car. Established wrecking yards make tons of money. The car salvage business is the most profitable business!!! But only if your a established yard. The internet is packed full of private one party ads for used parts or parting out posts and almost always the parts are not worth much at all and very few are sold. Yes there are some cars that car fetch a lot of money parted out but since you don't sound like you know every make model and year and what actually has value you should not even try.
People talk about "rare" cars while there are SOME rare cars out there most of them are rare only for the reason they didn't sell well or they all were so crappy they went to the scrap heap years and years ago. Now the only rare cars that can make even a decent profit are 60 to 100 years old. And even those cars have been picked pretty clean and truly are a rare find.
Also the internet is packed full of people who basically want to "steal" parts from people. Usually anyone who responds to an ad has a project car at home that he is no hurry to get finished. These guys enjoy looking for parts and offer ridiculously low money for the parts, all so they can say how they "stole" the parts he needed to fix the car up. They are quite literally the scum of the car parts buying crowd. Where the real money is right now in used cars is in the metals they are made of. Right now the prices paid for scrap metal is high. Some cars catalytic converters can be worth more than you paid for the car itself.
Time and time again people get your idea and giev it a try and find it only cost them money.|||Sounds like you don't have the first clue what you are doing.
Junkyards tend to price parts at about half of new. U pull it places less than that.
For YOU to sell parts, you would have to price your parts at about 50-75% of a junkyards prices. Or 25-37% of what they cost new.
Even then, you will find that your parts wont sell oftentimes.

How to take a 4 speed console out of a 1967 parts car?
Ok, here's the problem, I have to find out if it's easy to take out a 4 speed console out of a 1967 Chevy Impala parts car. We need the part for a restore, 1967 "SAME".
What is the work involved to take that part out without damage to the part or anything else under that part. I have to do this and lets just say, I'm a first timer! LOL
So if you know, in detail, how to do this. The information would be much appericated. THANKS!
PEACE|||just look at it and see where all the bolts are and start taking the bolts out 1 at a time and eventually you will have it out in one piece, a good place to start is by opening the console door and taking the bolts out or screws, whichever, and go from there, I'm sure there are 2 screws under the console lid that hold the top plate of the console on and once you get that top console piece off the rest is a snap as the rest of the bolts that hold it to the floor will be in plain sight.|||how much you have done so far ?
been a long time.
think there may be 1/2 in. above the drive line.not certain.the 5 beers don't make it bettr.
some screws tween the top center

Does intakes improve on MPG? im thinking about getin a injen or K%26amp;N? And also Exhaust? thinkin about Works.|||The last episode of Fifth Gear showed that the best way of improving you MPG is the correct tire inflation and driving conservatively. You will get a better MPG with the air intake but the price of the intake will most likely offset the cost benefits.|||The truth is yes and no. Think of an engine as a type of self powered air pump.
There are many factors involved . RPM, airflow in the intake and exhaust, engine size, compression ratio, bore ,stroke, valve lift,cam lift, cam duration, cam lob separation, cam lob timing (intake/exhaust), power-band of the combination of the system.
Modern cams and heads are designed to work with a set amount of back-pressure to match the emissions systems.
A K%26amp;N filter allows more airflow BUT the throttle plates is what restricts the airflow into the engine and controls the speed . The K%26amp;N helps most at WOT (wide open throttle) ,in stock trim marginal at best. A poor quality filter is restrictive and will choke an engine at lower speeds. I had access to a dyno and tried this and found Fram are only good at mid range running as long as they are clean and dry others very greatly, Delco and Fomoco are decint.
The spiral kits(tornado) for the air cleaner aren't worth the $$$ because under normal driving you aren't running under WOT and very marginal at best there. if under the throttle plates it may work better.
The exhaust ,If changed and no longer matches the rest of the system can drastically alter your fuel mileage to the poor. My nephew put a new performance muffler on his P/U and lost almost 1/2 his mileage he put on the correct one and got it back.
So don't make any changes that you cannot change back.|||Well it all depends on what kind of car you have, is it new stock or what? Getting yourself an intake and a more free flowing exhaust will improve by maybe 2-3mpg it all depends on your car. When it comes to exhaust that goes for headers, high flow cats, or just take the cat off, illegal but better and also louder, and after cat exhaust, and if no cat, then just run a test pipe, for intake depending if where you live has a lot of rain or flooding, go for short ram cause with a cold air your car can hydro lock and your engine is dead. simple things too, check tire pressure, maintain the car, change it's oil when you need to. reduce the weight of the car, don't carry around unnecessary things, you could always take your spare tire out and get Fix a Flat that's at least 10 pounds off. And most of all, your driving style, unless you're being chased by people who want to kill you there's really no need to be going any faster than the speed limit or traffic.
http://www.howtoadvice.com/savinggas|||Just bolting on new parts won't achieve much unless you consider how the whole engine tuning package will be affected.
A new intake will affect what kind of camshaft, ignition timing curve, fuel delivery system will be required. Likewise with the exhaust.
I would recommend getting in touch with a reputable engine tuner and discussing what works best with your particular engine bearing in mind what use you will put it to. An engine built for the race track will have different requirements to one for everyday driving in traffic.
Good luck!.|||Both changes will have a slight improvement in you MPG. The biggest thing you will feel is the improvement in overall performance. I have personally done the K%26amp;N Filter replacement on my 97 Fat Boy with the addition of Vance and Haines Long Shot Exhaust. I have replaced my stock air filter in my 2004 Dodge Ram. This helped my towing going thru the mountains from Ten. to Mich. and back. There was an improvement of 2 miles per gallon on my trucks computer by this change. I changed out the filter in a 2002 Honda Accord with the same improvements. I have liked the small MPG improvements but have really enjoyed the performance difference. I plan on doing the same to my recently purchased 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. These are always the first steps to performance upgrades.|||Opening up the intake and exhaust side of an engine, will give you some power increase, the problem is it moves your power band higher, so if you drive a lot with wide open throttle, these mods are for you. If you want a daily driver with low end and mid range performance these mods will not make much difference. As to mileage, possibly, doubt you will notice a difference.|||it might marginally improve your MPG by changing your intake and exhaust. though, i don't think it would be worth it cause the savings would be rather negligible in spite of what manufacturers like to claim|||I don't think your going after better gas mileage as much as you are more power.

Why does a "parts car" sell for more than the same car that's running?
I've been looking for parts for my old car (its 1981), and for some reason I noticed that sometimes the same car that's salvaged and being sold for just its parts is more expensive than the same car thats up and running. How does that make any sense? It's better to buy the car that's perfectly fine and use that for parts instead of buying some old rusty one.|||Try buying those parts individually from a wrecking yard. You can almost always make more money by parting out a car than by selling it to a wrecking yard. Someone who sells a car for parts does so because he knows the parts are in demand and doesn't want to settle for what a wrecking yard will pay him.|||" I noticed that sometimes the same car that's salvaged and being sold for just its parts is more expensive than the same car thats up and running" that should answer it sometimes people will charge more, im not sure what everyone else is talking about but a parts car is just that a parts car unless its an oddball care there parts car should never be more than buying a running decent condition car. and if you see that with your model that seems to be the case then buy a running model take what u need then you will also have a parts car to charge more than its worth.|||u always want an up and running car over a parts piece of crap. They are gonna get parts price for it no matter what, if its got $ 2k in parts on it why sell it for less?

I have a 99 Z34 Monte Carlo and i want to know what is a good website to buy parts for my car to make it go faster|||http://www.summitracing.com/|||I have placed orders with several sites and have found each have their own strong points. Lately I buy more from PerformanceParts.com because I get better support on the phone if I need product recommendations. I have recommended lots of people to Dave there since I found out he used to be a ASE certified engine builder. He really knows what it takes to make all of the elements of a car work together. They seem to specialize in street performance and street/strip type racing parts. I have also found their performance parts to always be priced in line with the best prices I can find.
I also really like YearOne for Chevrolet performance parts but they don't cover the 99 Monte Carlo.|||before buying anything, have a plan.
you will get more for your dollar if you plan it all out 1st. and you'll have less problems, including keeping it street legal (passing smog checks).
lots of great magazines are dedicated to chevys. super chevy, chevy high performance....
all of them do periodic articles on adding more power to specific models chevy has come out, and how to do get the best bang for your buck while doing so.
quite likely one of them covered the 99 z34 monte carlo
that said, there are plenty of places offering online performance part shopping.
summit racing is an excellent source for anything high performance, you could build a serious drag racer with just them.
http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/ is always a good one for GM products....

What's the best site to sell car parts?
I'm looking for a well-known website to sell car parts. I have an aftermarket fiberglass hood with custom paint job and 2 brake rotars for a trans am. I was just wondering if there was something better and more car-exclusive than sites like eBay, and craigslist..|||It's not car specific, but Vendalism ( http://vendalism.com ) is a free site like ebay that will also list your item on google product search and craigslist to attract more buyers :)|||Have you heard of the new Social selling network that is about to take over the Internet? It gets a few million hits a day and just opened about a month ago. Its OMJlist.com. It started out as groups on Facebook for every 100 counties in NC. Since then it has become a national website and is growing everyday. It has been featured on the news several times already. It works the same as craigslist but its SO much better because you are actually SEEING a profile of who you are dealing with. And you can choose who you will allow into your "network" and rate your expierence with that Individual. Membership is completely free. Though if you would like to be a "verified" member, It is $12 a year which is only $1 a month to show that you are who you say you are. I personally LOVE OMJlist.com. If you have any questions, you can email me and i will do what i can to help you :)

Can I buy parts of a car from a tow company, if I ordered the car to be towed?

Can I legally purchase the car part? And how about ethically? I didn't tow it because I wanted the part, I towed it because it's my job, I saw the part, and if no one claimed it, it would be sold or junked otherwise.|||That sucks! Don't do it dog! Don't do it. Find another bone to eat.|||You need to find who is the rightfull and legal owner of the vehicle and ask the if they will sell it.

V6 3speed automatic|||most salvage yards have a locator system they should be able to help you with that!|||You can call Pull-A-Part junk yard and check their inventory on the phone. They have a location off of Buford Hwy in Norcross and one in East Atlanta by Moreland Ave and I-285.
There are a few other salvage yards aroung.

Car parts???
im looking to get a power steering pump replaced and i am wondering if you would recommend a rebuilt part (cheaper) or the new part|||Billy.......reman parts are ok the warranty coverage on part may be less than new....the automotive repair industry have been using reman parts for years....most of the time when theres a part with a core involved its a reman part|||If you're car is older I would go with the rebuilt. It doesn't pay to spend twice as much on a part for an old car when it can be had for much less. I have been using rebuilt parts in 2 of our cars for about 4 years and none of them have failed. This includes an a/c compressor and a power steering pump too.|||Reman parts are just as good as new, but if you get it you will have to replace the pully. You will have to get a puller and remove and install the pully. . This is weather you get a rebuilt or a new one. It does not come with a pully.

Are there any metal car parts that I could put on a new vw beetle to make it look like a classic one?
What I mean is are there any car body parts I could add onto a new vw to make it look like a classic one?|||No, there are no compatible parts between the two unless you go order custom parts from a body shop. You can buy Beetles for just 1500 dollars and roam around it for fun.|||No. The cars only share a similar profile and likeness. Nothing is compatible whatsoever.
Scan Craigslist and go buy a old Beetle to play around with. You can pick up a good condition one ready to drive for $3000 or less.

What car parts are compatible with a 1983 Chevy Camaro?
so i just bought a 1983 chevy camaro and a junk yard were i live is letting me take parts off of their cars. what cars used the same engine, carburetor, parts etc that the 83 camaros did...ps its a v6....or would it just be better to put a newer engine in the car so its not as hard to find parts|||in my opinon it would be better to just but in a brand new 350 because the 83 v6s are just pure crap meaning no power what so ever|||[edit] LC1

Like an overhead view I guess of where all the parts are?

Can you get more money selling a car parts then the car it self?
well what i was thinking is going to a car event and buying some cheap good cars then selling the parts to make more money then selling the car in whole. Does this work? is it illegal?|||probably but some part will sell fast and some will take a long time to sell and just lay around in your garage for a long *** time, its just gona be a big *** hassle|||A car is almost always worth more when disassembled, and sold as parts, but it's a lot of work, and only something that should be attempted by a knowledgeable mechanic.
With the use of online sites, such as Craigslist, you may have some success.
Question for you......how big is your garage?
Give it some thought.
Good luck.
http://usedcarsale.com|||It is perfectly legal. You can make more money selling a car one part at a time than the whole thing. But it may take time, and depends on how much demand for the part there is. You can sell a Chevy 350 engine in any town quickly and easily. A left hand mirror for a 1961 Citroen CX? Not so much... Plus you have to dispose of the car's body when it is stripped.... best way to do that is to cut it up and sell to a steel scrapper.

What can I use to clean car parts? Book calls for neutral mineral spirits, what is equal to this?
The car has very small, gunk filled holes that HAVE to be cleaned out. The part is aluminium so many cleaners cannot be used. Car must have this done in order to pass inspection but the regular cleaners just seem to make it worse.|||I use cheap mineral spirits from Walmart with a airsprayer hooked up to my air compressor.

I'm replacing a couple of heads on my Camaro, and boy is it a messy job.|||Use car cleaning waxes...which would be available in in every car store|||kerosene is about the same, milder on the hands, lacquer thinner is much stronger, put a spot on the part wait a few minutes to see what it does, if it's ok! then continue|||Depending on the parts that you are cleaning but by far the best degreaser is a product put out by castrol then use water to rinse. Then use white spirits and thoroughly dry with compressed air and wrap individual parts in glad wrap if critical parts or rags if say brake or suspension parts.
