That can't be right.
I thought pistons were only worth about $100 each?

Oh well, something to go with that twin cam head.

I am no Mini guru by all means, and I know SOME performance parts are worth $$$.....but surely 4 pistons and rods can't amount to THAT :shock:

Yea, add them to that head/carb setup and you have......not much for a lot of $$$ :lol:

You can probably get S rods 24 carat gold dipped for that price and add a few diamonds to boot! :lol:

I asked:
"are you sure you have the price right?"

Response:
have you bought any of these to be able to query price?

Hey why don't you go see Tony Cullen in person and talk to him about prices.

I'm sure, like most other people, that they're sick of seeing people post up items that Mini Sport have on ebay.
Yes, he does price them high; but you get what you pay for.
And high priced products usually last longer than low priced products. And thats a fact.

So yeah; don't post any more of this crap coz its not needed.
Who cares?
Not me.

His stuff is mostly BRAND NEW too; he doesnt waste time on S/H stuff.

Quite possibly overpriced; but someone will pay that money!
What are these items worth anyway?
