Counterfeit parts

Post by GamblerZ »

The number of counterfeit parts finding their way into the market have been unreal as of late. Here are a couple of local ads that I found on Craigslist that are worth taking a look at:

http://lubbock.craigslist.org/pts/3455845190.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Turbo XS turbo? Really? Let's try SS Autochrome.


http://lubbock.craigslist.org/pts/3469885363.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Subtle clues for this one, but the Hard/Soft markings are reversed.

Counterfeit GReddy Type-RZ BOVs: http://greddy.net.au/news/?id=99" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If a deal is too good to be true, than most likely there is something wrong.
