Default 2nd Hand Parts...

Does anyone have second hand parts that still work for sale?
Is it smart to buy second hand?
I need some opinions. And is buying off ebay smart?
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't currently have anything for sale, but second hand parts are great so long as you are very sure of the condition. I got a used mac o/r H pipe for $90 to my door from 1000 miles away! from someone on this forum


and I have had good luck with ebay, just read the feedback carefully of the seller before buying from them

I have the new lower intake manifold with the aluminum crossover, has like 10 miles on it, brand new. Your intake now if it the one it came with, will blow a leak eventually, this new intake will prevent that. I also have a set of Hawk Racing underdrive pulleys. I will sell them both to you for 250.00

when you get one, you will see how these situations come up. Shifting into fourth while blasting on the freeway produces squirrely fishtailing, it will get your attention. There was a couple of times when i have shaken my head and said "that's one" and "that's another one, stupid".

Are those Hawks Racing pulleys piggyback? What would you take for the pulleys only?
