I've been calling, texting & emailing him for months upon months now both from here and when I was in NYC (twice) - no answers or replies whatsoever. I'd sure like to get my parts from him some time, maybe the members here that are able to contact him can pass my message along...

Yes.

But let me be clear on something here - I'm not in the habit of calling people out on the internet in hopes of a public lynching. The point of my post was that hopefully some of the members here that live in NYC/NJ and speak/see Wes can pass my message on. I have tried to reach him on all means available and have not been successful, hopefully someone local will.

I have spoken to Wes many, many times. We have exchanged hundreds of emails. I met him when I went to NYC and we went out. After that we continued to talk after his new job. I highly doubt that he's decided to 'steal' my parts, destroy a friendship and tarnish his reputation here but at the same time, it's odd that all forms of communication suddenly ceased.

I have become very good friends with another member of this forum who routinely puts in 6 days of extended hours of work as I do and still is able to find the time to catch up every week or so. We met, we traveled together and he's sourced some parts out for me as well. Life happens, things come up that cloud vision and cause detours but in the end, we all make the choice to be seen or not.

It will be what it will be, I'm certainly not losing any sleep over it.

Last time i heard from his was may 23rd and nothing since then, his car is still collecting dust in the shop they still cant marry his ECU. I will try to get in contact with him again and maybe drive by his house see if everything is ok with him, lets hope he did not get hurt doing his new job.

Mine were an aftermarket SC mod and not the engine SC swap mod. After they blew my engine, I thought about doing the OEM CL55 SC swap. So I did a research and learned that for the swap to go smooth, I need to get the engine, ECU, TCU and the complete ignition system with key from the same car of all the parts came out from because all these parts are married. It very very hard if you get each of these parts from different car and try to marry them together.
