I went looking for them on the web to get the address
and found this. I might rather spend a few more bucks somewhere else instead.
Special Interest Car Parts
1340 Hartford Avenue
Johnston, R.I. 02919
800-556-7496
800-851-5600
They have a lot of original TR7 and 8 parts some of them at super low
prices. -Fred Smith. I had been
wondering how Special Interest Car parts can offer such great sale
prices (the buyer for the local brit. car
place wonders also.) Now I think I know. Once you buy something, that's
it. I bought two MGB front
suspension kits and one of the king pins is defective. The only way to
return something is with a UPS call
tag. So, I call up SIC to do the return. The first day the sales people
can't get through to the customer
service person (yes, one person). So I leave a message. No call back.
The next day same thing.
Yesterday, four calls, four messages, same thing. Today, two calls and
the customer service person has
left and won't be back at her desk until Monday, it's only 2:00. How can
a company that does the volume
of business they do, only have one person doing customer service? I
guess if they never take any returns,
then they can sell stuff cheaper. -Dean_Zywicki. Special Interest sent
me a manifold for a 77 or later
Midget but I have a 1975. As near as I can tell the ports and the flange
to the exhaust system are the
same but the EGR is located on the top of the manifold instead of on the
bottom front. I paid SI $200 for
this one and they won't refund my money. Apparently they only give
credits! -John Loucks.
