hello and 2 questions

[blake at clockworm.com (Blake Irvin)]

so, what are the good brands for aftermarket parts?  i don't really  
want to get into high-performance just yet, but would like reliable,  
strong components.  for now, because of tight cash (buying the car),  
i will probably have to do some manual tinkering to keep it happy.   
(I have some experience with old vehicles - have a 79 vespa, which is  
very often wanting to break).
