Hi everybody
Just informing you all that I intend to rip out my engine and renew the cylinders + pistons. (My mechanic tells me that it's probably due for it)
I noticed 126fan.sk sell a set of 2 cylinders+rings ++ etc much much cheaper than say webshop.fiat500126.com.
http://www.126fan.sk/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=552
90 euros for two compared to 125 euros for one.
Is the quality of 126fan's product worse than the others? It's amazingly cheap.

No! He is just not ripping you off. In Eastern Europe Fiat 126 were very popular parts were east to find and MUCH cheaper.
All comments about his service are very very good.

the problem is that most sellers buy from guys like 126fan and then hike the prices up a ridiculous amount. i used to bid on german e bay and a well known brit spare supplier would buy in euros and convert straight to pounds (this was when the pound was stronger) so 30 euros became £30!! and fifty percent profit to boot now the euro exchange rate is not so good prices have rocketted. but 126 fan has not as they are not like our greedy brit spares suppliers...so buy with confidence and get a bargain to boot!

Excellent to hear!
Also, are there any special tools I will need to buy before doing this? I mean other than the obvious socket set and screwdrivers?
Thanks guys.
