I hope we can all just get along

this is just my opinion
I know I offend some
but we all do from time to time
I only want to offend one person you know his name

If you get banned because you got bad customer service and to tell EVERYONE about, then let them believe the pretty lies.

There are ways of expressing and communicating his exact same sentiment and casus belli that are more effective and will not get him banned, but I suspect it may be a bit late for that now. If that in fact occurs, it will not be for his lack of punctuation, or even his rant about Archie ripping him off; it will be for the manner in which it was conducted. And no, I am not taking sides; I wasn't there.

I don't see why he should get banned for speaking his mind or giving his opinion on this subject ,in life you win some and you loose some and you can never please everyone .Archie has been a mainstay in the Fiero community in general for his achievements and I do respect him for that however he is only human and will make mistakes and offend others sometimes but which company don't ,Archie also has his die hard supporters who will stand by him no matter what so let him express the facts if the experience is personal or just because jumping on the "I HATE ARCHIE" band wagon so tell us you story.

I would say go for the street dreams kit!
It appears to be based on the Zumalt kit and that is the kind of quality engineering you deserve.
Do you have your axles yet?
Enjoy!

You made your accusations in the other thread, https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/045881.html & I addressed it there as much as I could.

You don't provide any information that backs up your claims. Like a copy of your Money Order rec't. How about a date that this transaction took place or anything that backs up your claims, like maybe a copy of a few of those 200 EMails you sent me that I didn't respond to.

You could spend a little time finding that information, but instead you start another thread to bash me in.

quote Originally posted by bookster: Product. Well hell he must be getting it from the guys from Street Dreams It is identical in every way. .

FYI, the Street Dreams parts are a direct copy of the Zumwalt kit and are not even close to being the same design as my parts. You might be the only person on the Internet that doesn't know that already. The fact that you make this statement, makes it clear that you haven't compared the products side by side or even compared photos of the products.

Apparently it's easier to start a bashing thread than to provide any information to back-up any of your claims.

I know for a fact that the Post Office will track down Money Orders & can even tell you what bank & when one was cashed or deposited. One fellow even gave you the links for tracing down the money order.

But what the heck, it's easier to just start a bashing thread. You don't need any facts because it's only the Internet & no one would tell a lie on the Internet.

Archie

Sometimes it is not what they say but how they choose to say it... 'Screw you Archie' pretty much crossed the line in my opinion.

Ahhh.. When you look at his webpage it starts to make more sense! He is trying to start a business doing engine swaps in Fieros. No wonder he don't like the largest, most well-known engine swapper in the Fiero world. Nice AOL page btw. AOL Business pages always make me want to go out and use that business.

What a piece of......work.

From the web site:

"Innovations in automotive design
Fiero Modifications Are our fist projects
Installing different engines with out all the hassle"

Our 'fist' project? Yeah.....it's the same guy......



Wow.....doesn't look very happy. Maybe because he's really didn't do what he said he did and got called on it. Ya know.....kind of like Mastermind being at Fierorama..........

"I hope we can all just get along"

Wow......you expect any of us to do business with you after you pull this? You just buried yourself with the Pennock's crowd. Not because of this supposed transaction, but because of your attitude.

Good luck.....now go away.

is that... is that a freakin gumby cut? is HE ROCKIN A GUMBY CUT?

oh dear god @ the slant....

put Bobby Brown in jail... and his hair lives on.... :/

Come on guys, You shouldn't make fun of his website. (Especially with a scowl like that)
He must be a good mechanic, He's making a "TWIN ENGINE" VW Golf GTI and a "TWIN ENGINE" Honda CRX.

"Other autos to follow VW and Honda
Twin engine Twin Turbo intercooled 93 vw Golf GTI
In the works
Twin engine 5 Speed 1988 Civic CRX
On a lift getting the full meal deal"

And the CRX gives you a "FULL MEAL DEAL" None of those tiny Happy meals or kids meals. It's even bigger than the "Big Kids Meal" I wonder if you can "super-size" the meal deal as well?

As for the topic:

The Street Dreams is a copy of the "Z" kit. So sure the prices are less. Only because they require a LOT of work to make them function properly. Just ask California Kid, His was a "Z" kit and it has had lots of things modded/changed to correct the flaws in the original Kit. How many companies are selling a copy of the "Z" kit now? Why is it the companies that use to sell the kits don't anymore? HMMM...let's just think about that for a while. Is Mr. "Z" still in the business?

One question, Why does type of fuel delivery decide if you use a 1-piece or 2-piece flywheel?
What does Fuel delivery have to do with the flywheel?
Oh wait, It must be that F/I can create so much more power than a carb they need to use a 1-piece to hold the power right?
A Datsun/Nissian starter? A starter designed for a 4-6 cylinder engine to turn over a high horsepower, high compression V-8?
Yeah, I can see the spectacular design features in the kit.

------------------

Happiness isn't around the corner...
Happiness IS the corner.

Yeah, I would say you just put your business under, at least in the PFF crowd. It's not too late to apoligize to someone who represents the Fiero community quite well in his area. If I was buying a V8 kit, you better believe that Archie would get my business.

My Web page

Yeah the grammer, spelling, and punctuation on that page (along with the stolen pictures) REALLY makes me want to do business with THAT guy!

One questions I've always wondered about, while everyone is still watching this thread (heck maybe Archie can answer them )

If you buy the Master Build Kit, do you have EVERYTHING (besides a running SBC, the tools, and the skills) necessary to put a SBC V8 in a Fiero, or do I have to fabricate a few other small bits and pieces, or make a few runs to the hardware store?

This guy must have a 5" LCD he's typing on @ 800x600. Either that or he reads to much Robert Frost

It's about time for bookster, aka Greg Westlake, to abandon this thread and start a new one to bash Archie.

[This message has been edited by Formula88 (edited 09-26-2004).]

What is that fugly white car on his web page? I hope it isn't a Fiero. I also have to agree on the scrowling picture, that one scares the small children.

quote Originally posted by bookster: ...hey rate me get me off this forum

Well, I was all ready and willing to do my part, and realized that I already had contributed to that effort, a long time ago.

Just damn.

Same here, raydar.. And I hope all the usual people who normally come accuse everyone of kissing Archie's @$$ will actually read both threads before they speak up. This has CON written all over it. It is good that Archie keeps records or this might have been construed the other way.

Bookster let me get this straight, you have your own business, doing the same as Archie ? and you acuse him of ripping you off?
What part, of good business have you practiced?
I think you have already ,purchased the two other kits, and are to lazy and cheap to purchase Archies, so that you can make, copies of and sell. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong here.
I have to say that Archie has conducted himself, very proffesionaly with you. Archie did not say screw you Bookster, like he very well could have and should have.
I bet that you thought ,that great picture of you would get you a lot of business, you look like your customer service is to die for.
Maybe someone needs to start a Bookster is a lying weasel thread.

bookster, how many swaps have you done?
How many swaps did you use each swap kit?
I am just asking to see how you can post info. such as you did.
Don't get me wrong, if you have done 2 or more with each kit than I will support what your saying!

My build thread

Its one thing to have a complaint...but to think that you are bashing someone whos parts you have obviously used to turn a profit , is crazy. To have the bussiness you have it seems it would be a good idea to have the skills to put a V8 in yourself. Not depend on someone elses hard work to turn a dime for you.
You seem to forget that Archie runs a business himself and is not in any way a "wholesaler". Maybe if you were partners and Archie was reeping some of the benifits it would be different but thats not the case and DOUBT it ever will be even if you begged Archie. The fact that you are a businessman yourself and couldnt conduct yourself in a more professional manner than this IMHO shows what kind of "businessman" your customers have to put up with. I wish you the best of luck cause you will need it.

This is pathetic, youre website has nothing! Just two badly typed paragraphs. No credientials, Stolen Pics.

WTF

My grandmother could browse through Archies Site and learn about what it takes to put in a v8 and why hes the best at it (NO SERIOUSLY SHE DID, I was trying to get her to pya for it :P)

I think the Street Dreams kit is OK......but I don't like the fact that you have to use a Nissan starter. Also Street Dreams doesn't offer an LT1 kit.

Lol, that's amazing. Having posted only 113 times since 2002, bookster has already managed to garner 76 ratings, the majority of which appear to be negative. That's gotta be some kind of record for fewest posts and largest number ticked off by them.

Wanting his product to put in my cars.
not some other I feel he has the best, but when things go wrong
you go to others for help.
no I don't wish to compeat with archie,
from what I gather he cant take care of what he has on his plate.
I don't need that at all.
I have a very small co. I deal with many types of cars.
I love the fiero but can never get around my own.
as for kicking me off or keeping me,
do what you may. Speak my mind and piss people off.
Well Deal with it. I am sorry I offend some.
You cant have every thing and this is nothing but a chat forum.
There are so many out there, I use this one because of the users.

I say we boot your a$$ off of here so fast your head will spin.

You lied about business dealings with me and that's not acceptable.

oh and Screw you.

Archie

kiss my a$$ archie you rip so many others off
and I say my opinion so I get kicked off
Why noy you
I have never had a problem here till you
and you have so many
they need to kick your a$$ off

I would love to see some pictures of one of the twin engine designs.. Show me that, and get a plus

Bookster, who do you think you are? Can't you see that people can see right through you? Your efforts here are meaningless...Take a hike.

AArrrrgh, it's like reading a ray b post!

------------------

Ohhhhhh yeahhhh!

quote Originally posted by bookster: and I say my opinion so I get kicked off I have never had a problem here till you

You said that I cashed your money order and never shipped parts to you.

That was a LIE........ it was not an opinion IT WAS A LIE !!!!!!!!!

Your problem started when you told a LIE on me & I had enough evidence to prove it was a lie.

I wonder how many other lies you told to people on PFF that they were unable to prove.

YOU tell a flat out unprovoked LIE that was intended to hurt me & then you have the nerve to claim that I'm the cause of your current problems.

You are a liar & no one here will ever take your word for anything again.

Archie

To remain on-topic, I decided:

Buy some parts and try to figure out what else I need to buy/manufacture with no tech help from the person who designed it or the company selling it and some small instruction book that gives a brief run-down of what needs to be done?

OR

Have everything installed and working great in 8 days.

THANKS Archie !!!

Bookster... My opinion is that if you use this forum because of the users you might as well quit. It is apparent that the users don't have much use for your way of doing business...

And it is probably true that you never had any problem here before Archie. It's pretty easy to not have had trouble with only 121 posts in over 2 years...

Go ahead and talk about your opinions and being persecuted all you want... You lied. Archie has proof. You have nothing but a bad AOL website... Seriously, if you want to be a real business, get a real website. That is not being a smart @$$, it is just a fact. Most people won't trust business that host on AOL, Geocities, Yahoo, etc.. And get some pictures of your work too instead of posting car pics grabbed from somewhere else...

Goodbye.. You are the weakest link.

Car looks great, Oreif! Guess you are lucky since Archie has too much on his plate! Of course, I guess that is the sign of a successful business... Definitely better than an empty plate!

His car does look good dont it. Sure he comes across sometimes as being a mean ole grinch, but even the mean ole grinch had a big heart after he gave away those presents. Archie's presents are the v8 kits he sells.
