+1 from Norway.
Have several times bought both new and used parts from William, good communication and fast shipping. And the best; No hassle, and the used parts has been as described, or better :-) Recommended! Cheers Robert |

I have just embarked on a project with William.
It started with the engine, and now we have started discussing the complete package - a suspension redo and brake upgrade. He didn't upsell to make a quick buck - i brought the topics up and seemingly opened the tap of knowledge! Had i not tapped into his knowledge and experince - i would have wasted a lot of money! I am a newbie to all of this - so its really nice to listen and learn from someone who is passionate and clearly very very expereinced. cant wait for our project to be complete! |

I just bought some headers from William for my race car and he has been great to deal with. I almost bought some heads from him but circumstances on my side prevented that.
I spent a lot of time recently talking with William on the phone and through texts. He has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will continue to use William as a source for parts and knowledge. He is a genuinely nice guy, too. You can't do better than that!

+1 for William. I have been dealing with him for the last 12 years. Just recently purchased some parts from him. Parts are always as described. A great Porsche guy to the community!

Just wanted to update this thread as i've been having some difficulties with a build over here in the UK.
William only has the cams invested in my build, but has provided un-paralleled phone and email guidance/support on things to check. Great guy to deal with, tells you how it is - wish he was a bit closer!

Thanks for the support, I wanted to update my contact information. KNIGHTRACE@MAC.COM is my email and Phone is 615.969.4917. So many computer calls today can hardly rely on the phone anymore. I always check my email and I will always call you back if you leave a contact number. Thanks, William

A big thanks to William. It is incredibly helpful to talk to someone who builds motors for a living. The advice was direct and may help me save some money and build a better motor.
Thanks! |

This post needs an update.
I am extremely grateful for this forum which introduced me to William. Initially I put out a wanted advert on PP for some higher compression pistons for an engine I had assembled and wanted to increase performance. William had a set for me, but upon striking up a conversation, he soon realised that my package had a lot more potential and ended up encouraging me NOT to buy his parts, but new ones from other vendors. Totally selfless. William got a feel for me and the type of driving I do, and helped me engineer a system of parts that would give ME the best outcome for my needs that would conform to my budget. Since then, we have been in constant contact; did I mention that I live in Australia? Yep, he is always nearby on whatsapp whenever you need to send a message, a photo, a video or a good old fashioned voice call! Through my involvement with William, not only do I have a pretty neat setup, but he has also shared a decent amount of knowledge and his experiences with me, which has helped me improve my engine assembly ability and also my diagnostic ability. I hope to be able to deal with William for years to come. |

I bought a 3.2 from William in 2009. i drove to Paducah Ky. and picked up the engine from him. I had a great experience with him in his shop. After the sale I called him numerous times and he always had the time to help and talk to me. ALWAYS. He is a class act and really has a passion for Porsche's! I would recommend him to anyone who wants some good advice and or good parts. I appreciate everything you helped me with William. Thank You! Truly A Class Act!

Just got off a 1 hour long conversation with William. I had a simple question about exhaust options and we got into 4 other intense discussions regarding equally important supporting systems on my car.
To say he was informative was a serious understatement. I am nearly ready to start a new phase on my car and William is saved in my phone as the aircooled whisperer. Probably overkill, but I value his knowledge but more importantly his insight into all topics. This is hugely important to me. I'm excited to work with him on my humble 3.2l car. |
