I see you there, sad and despondent because your Porsche 959 has, like, a broken release lever for its clutch or something. You have all the money in the world, for, indeed, you own a Porsche 959, but none of that makes a difference now because no one on earth has a replacement lever for you anymore. Or do they?
Good news, kids! You’ll now be able to forever enjoy the brightness and pleasure of the Honda Beat, because the company just announced that it will begin to produce new OEM replacement parts!
Here’s a question: Would you ever buy a crucial suspension part from Ebay that costs one-tenth as much as a similar piece at the parts store? Many of you would answer “no,” because something just doesn’t feel right about it. But it’s easy to understand why so many people do buy these parts when there’s little…
If you own a fairly new car, chances are you’ve got an absurd amount of liability hanging right on the very front of your car: your headlights. Modern headlights, as beautiful and amazing as they are, are incredibly expensive parts, with many light units costing $2,000 or more. Each. That’s insane.

If you had to think of two ends of a spectrum of classiness in the automotive world, with one end being as class-free as a drunken hammer fight in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and the other end as classy as a princess on a gilded horse, what would be at each end? Maybe a novelty car horn that honked out tunes on the…
When working on a vehicle, it’s always less of a headache to order parts and not have to wonder whether they’re faulty or not. Or, more importantly, whether they’re even the brand on the listing. But two websites recently got caught allegedly faking brands, and they’re now under seizure by the U.S. government.
I'm planning on installing a new engine in my Beetle this weekend, so I've been looking at lots of engine parts and pictures of engines lately. And maybe something snapped after too many hours of staring at carburetors while Star Trek:TNG droned on in the background. Whatever it was, it made me see all car parts as…
All your internet car parts ordering are belong to U.S. Auto Parts. [PRNewswire]
Thanks to perverse and vigilant Jalopnik reader Mike Poller, we now see the inevitable combination of the Carpocalypse and truck nuts — recession-proof, SAE-grade truck nuts.
Corvetteblogger has put together a list of the top five appearance modifications according to Eckler's Corvette Parts, and to us, it reads like a who's who of who cares modifications.
