42125, Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by TheRedBarren, Oct-24-09 02:18 AM http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260491591545&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT What do you think ? :)
42126, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by bullettdsm, Oct-24-09 03:45 AM Um, not for nothing but don't you think you may have wanted to ask that BEFORE you bought them, lol? But at any rate, (I'm sure you already know) IF all is well with those parts (and I wish I had a closer look at their clean up on the pistons and ring landings), that's a banging deal. MB

I recently bought a brand new HKS Carbon Ti system for 227 shipped from eBay :)
42130, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by Fallen4ng31, Oct-24-09 08:12 AM If everything checks out, then yes, you got a great deal. Hell, even if one turned out to be bad, the price was still good. Edited for spelling.
42132, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by TheRedBarren, Oct-24-09 12:40 PM Sweeeet!! I'm pretty damn excited. Now I can finally build that 2nd motor in my garage that was just in case my stock one blow. Been sitting for a year!
42134, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by 420agreenvilleSC, Oct-24-09 01:01 PM upon recieving them, inspect the ring lands, journals where the rod bearings go, thread on the bolts/rods, piston skirt wear, etc. you know the deal. good find though. have everything checked out professionally. If anything doesnt check out, ebay is now a buyers sanctum so, you'd win any dispute, if PP was used.
42135, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by Babbz413, Oct-24-09 06:49 PM i had a high bid on those of 150 4 hrs before auction end. woke up and saw it ended at what you got em for...assholes...ha nice buy tho.
42167, RE: Did I get a good deal on these forged pistons and rods ? Posted by Star Turbo Talon, Oct-26-09 05:37 PM Ebay has that same deal 365 days a year. Compared to buying them from a shop....yes you go a deal. Compared to buying them off ebay and other day....NO you didnt. I have seen new Eagle/JE go for 704.00 on ebay every once and a while.

I have seen new Eagle/JE go for 704.00 on ebay every once and a while. Hmm, $704 new vs $240ish shipped used. Tell me again how that's not a good deal (provided that the ring landings are there and the rods aren't bent)?
