what has been your biggest bargain!

Since owning a Pulsar, what has been your biggest bargain you managed to get hold off for the old girl? Was talking to Dan (pulsar23) yesterday about prices of spares being fairly reasonable compared to modern cars.
Anyway mine was a set of Tein super street coilovers for £40 they even came with the spanners, i felt like I'd robbed them. they have been pn my car for 3 years now with no issues.
oh just in case you dont believe me here is the ebay list number, they were only on for 15 mins till i bought them

Thats really good, i paid £225 for my avcr

Few bargains but often things blow up or need replacing so any small gains are always out weighed by ownership haha

Best deal I have had was an Apexi Power FC Pro with commander for £250 quid a few years ago (dont worry pete it wasnt that one I sold you lol) never used it really and sold it on. I also brought a rolling shell for 200 quid and it had a mines ecu and kyb supsension so sold those for £400 and had a whole cars worth of spares minus the bits I sold .

Cars were cheap tho so bargains are drying up now. I am sure Bob has found some gems on cars he has broke etc

I have had 3 sets of standard wheels. One set was £17 off ebay. Others were around £40 a set.
I have had a profec b for £50
And a few gauges for £10
Got a full 5zigen for £100
Bought a gtir spares intercooler for £100 and swapped it for a £900 rad tech
Paid £70 for spotlight grill
And £20 for murine
Proberbly had others but can't think lol

A Turini bonnet with a tow eye cover thrown in & fitting my Hybrid front mount for £250! Got my Rota Subzero's with 3 good Toyo's for £200 ( EBay) Unused Koni's for £200 & new Plastics 4 Performance poly windows for £200.

Not so sure, but I got a set of takata harnesses brand new in the box off a guy for £120! Considering how much they are I thought that was a really good deal!

Mine was oil pump genuine and unused in nissan wraper paid £40 for it 
Engine for if I am honest can not remember exact price but very little deffo less than £100 turned out to have filings on oil grate so I complained lad was really genuine and said you seen my parts I honestly had no idea keep it but take this one but same goes I don't know what it's like got it back my bro stripped it to check one day said guess what I went another knackard one he said I will send pictures over my heart sank the came the pictures mint block hks Pistons knife edge and balanced crank I was like happy days

Yes told bob the storey a while ago. Lad said its a water pump bought it for £40 it was new then I never seen the oil pump had a further look then said what's this he said looks like another water pump ( twice the size lol) are is it how much sure he said £60 the pair or just give me another £40  I don't remember exact but I was like err go on then. Lad was totally finished with R's or I would of felt guilty as I am honest and some stuff was his mates  but he said his mate trusted his prices and would be down soon I was like yea I must get goin lol I think the second engine was this mates or something as it was good build

I won't answer that as some people on hear Seam to think I collect parts I don't need lol it's sitting with my Norris built engine. Spare parts 

My latest best buy was my car

Best bargain I've had is all the work I've had done! Couldn't build another of this spec for the price !

Mine was a fully standard H reg pulsar with a whining noise from the gearbox for €200 about £120 at the time while in Germany

Also bought a genuine Nissan wheel bearing for £15 when I went to collect it the guy gave me 4 x standard alloys with 3 x centre caps free even though I offered him more money for the wheels he wouldn't take it

Mine was a fully standard H reg pulsar with a whining noise from the gearbox for €200 about £120 at the time while in Germany Very Happy
That'll take some beating Lol!!

It was a bargain mate but I have probably spent ££££££££££ to get my car to where it is now so it puts the word bargain into perspective haha

A couple of pics was used as a donor car to build my white one, shell was then scrapped.

A lot of the remaining parts are still in my garage as spares
