Hey Wilk...If you are looking for some help on your email or paypal, send me a PM and I'll do what I can to get it to work for you. Shouldn't be that hard.

You have a PM from me as well.

HFM5 Air Flow Meter - $130??

really..?? thats an insane price, i was expecting atleast $500-ish.

how about a price on just a power prom, no adaptor board for an early car?

this all sounds too good to be true.

I agree it is sketch sounding, but as of yet I have not heard back via PM.

There are wilk chips on ebay at this same cost under his account... and ironically it says he accepts paypal.

I await results to see what happens with these. If it is the real deal I am certainly interested... but the story is weird.

You'd think Mr Wilk would have some savvy security!

only cash huh.. is this really you FR or maybe a hacker.

cash only = no paper trail

FR, this is strange, i dont know you incredibly well or anything but this sort of behavior is very questionable.

OK GUYS, someone needs to figure out or call FR, This doesnt sound like him AT ALLL, No way he is selling stuff soooo cheap, the MAf kit was going to be listed for almost 400, I know this cus I talked to him a thousand times, If some did hack his PC and SITE I dont think it would be really hard to get onto Pelican, all he needs to say is he forgot his Password anf they will E-mail him a new one. Guys be very carefull, I would hate to see someone get burned.

P.S WILK, Sorry if this really is you but, you go missing FOREVER, Your site gets Hacked and now EVERYTHING is for sale, PLUS the is someone selling COPIES of the POWER PROM, I think the board is reacting correctly. SHow us some proof that its you

I've been thinking the same thing since day one... I made only one comment on his first post, and have wanted to make many more since but I didn't want to show disrespect....

now that others have got the ball rolling... I really dont think it's him. it's not even CLOSE to the same character or personality.

someone needs to call him.

I agree with you, Its doesnt sound like him at all, I dont mean any Disrespect at all but it throws up a alarm when A porsche TECH GURU who makes THE best chip for the 944 gets his site hacked and then randomly comes back SELLING EVERYTHING. Something needs to be done before something bad happens.

I'm gonna report this post just to get the attention of a moderator. I sent Zman a PM a couple days ago regarding this very topic, and he hasn't recieved the message yet... hopefully wilk's account or something can be suspended until we get a personal verification.... If it's really Wilk, he'll understand why we're being so careful...

He was always a great help on the board, and a load of laughs with his pictures... now, his posts deal exclusively with selling equipment at rediculously low prices for "cash only".... raises a red flag for sure..

I've tried to call him a couple times...looked up the WHOIS info on his site, and whitepages.com.
Number is disconnected.
