As I said before, Fastfieros is going to have to eat a lot of crow before people trust him again. I think it is best if he didn't go around insulting other vendors or competitors, it just makes him look bad. By the way, I would like to know if he has started work on Reverend Fiero's harness, that was ordered over two years ago. I know Andy is too polite to ask anymore, especially since most of his queries, about his order, went unanswered by Loyde. |

Andy ( Andrew ) polite ? See answer below.... S T H O whoever you are avengador1 ...
Look at the people posting in this thread. Pure and simple people putting their nose in someone else’s business affairs..
10 pages. One small list of people and at least 3 of the people on the list are not even posting in this thread.
This is the status of these people out of this list anyway….
Aris / Kostas ( 07 transaction ) – Kostas is the original purchaser of the all the items in this transaction. Aris was nothing but the poor guy that was ripped off by his friend Kostas. Aris cannot speak English, he cannot write English very well ( I have at least one email from him about a support issue from 2006 ) …. Kostas called and called and called all the time. Whats this whats that.. how do I do this, how do I do that. I have sent and sent so many packages that total at least $20,000 of stuff to Greece for these guys. 3800Pro sent at least $5000 and some of it was from me because Rob ordered the stuff from me and sent it to Greece. Do you really think I wanted to lose a customer that spends $20,000 dollars in about 3 years time over a wiring harness? Hell no.. Kostas wanted to be a parts supplier for all his friends. He get quotes from me, and then sell at a nice higher price for being the one to have ‘friends’ in customs that helped him save money on paying taxes and such. Harness lost in shipping. No insurance PER Kostas. Cheat customs taxes PER Kostas from $2000 to $500…. Harness was built and shipped and he will now never get another one after lying and starting this BS thread.
Fanatic ( 09 transaction ) – Jay Presley – Orders a PCM, with programming. Calls on the phone to discuss some aspects of it, but never indicates what transmission he is running, and what year of wiring he has. I thought it was 99+ because the engine was 2002 from what I remembered. I was out of PCM’s at this time and indicated I needed to order some. They came in and then his address to his work would not come up in USPS click and ship, so I had to send to his house. He calls and the PCM is wrong in year model and transmission type. Not my fault really, he never indicated in any emails as to what he needed, but by phone, I was lead to believe 99+ was it and automatic. When he sent back the PCM, is when he decided to post in this thread all these problems he was having. What a a$$hole. Not even my fault for the issues at this point, and I turned the new PCM out and back to him in 10 hours. I even took the time to figure out why his address in paypal did not work in USPS click and ship…. He had a SPACE between some crazy street address numbers in Paypal, and in click and ship, it does not want that space in there. Situation resolved and customer 100% happy of course does not come back to forum and post transaction complete… During all this time, I was still working 65 hours a week at my ‘other’ job.
Here is even his email to me

Once again, no follow up by him…
FieroElliot ( 08 transaction ) – Not even mentioned here in the list? Most likely because he was the most extremely patient and very good customer. First off, I built his first harness in about 2003. He never used the harness and sometime in 08 asked if I would update it and rework the routing. Of course I agreed to. In 08 of course is also when my issues with family life started as early as Feb 08. This harness was one of the 3 that was stolen from my shop area. I had to completely remake this harness and it was completed and delivered.
Petek – in progress …. Manta Kitcar. Not even a Fiero. Total custom setup with routing that is not even close to the Fiero.
Andrew Allison - In progress. Manta Kitcar. Not even a Fiero. Requested pics of the install so I can understand his routing of how things need to be and never got the pics. Got an email however about 2 weeks ago indicating that he did not want to post on PFF and please do the harness and he will be happy when he gets it.
Will – Martin – ordered transmission last week and will be here Tuesday. In progress for V8 install. Funny how no one really mentions this was a completely perfectly running 3800SC install back in 2005 .. why, here is the complete build of it
http://www.fastfieros.com/p...ill_m3800/will_m.htm I drove the car 989 miles. Will comes out and we drive around about 2 hours together. He looks at me and saids I was right, I should have had a V8 on an automatic transmission. At this time Tom’s LS1 Grand Prix was starting to come to the drawing board too..
http://www.fastfieros.com/p.../tomkls1/tomkls1.htm I had purchased the LS1 concept powertrain from GM, and wanted so bad to copy all these billet parts. Will was ready for me to try and put it in a Fiero too. He saids life is changing for him daily, dont worry if it takes 2 years. Finally getting all the right tools in place in December 07, I can proceed to making my own parts with my CNC mIll, but, I must first learn MasterCam X2 for some of its functions. Then my life changing events of Feb 08 come into play. However, Don Kraus decided he wanted me to get the V8 transverse stuff worked out with his install, and he was great in working with on all parts of the R&D. I learned MasterCam, got my Fadal VMC15 up and running, metal flying... all in about 45 days time... then Don got it together finally here
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...3/HTML/000083-5.html OnixFiero – he could care less about the drama of PFF and wishes the same as me. People that have ZERO business with me directly would quit posting 2nd hand 3rd hand BS about me and my life..
Top-dawg – Tom, very patient. Has always indicated that the project was always going to be there and he was not working on the thing nearly as much as he wished he could, and the harness was here when it is here. Thank you Tom..
DJRice – another not working on this project due to family life and always sends kind emails to take my time and work on his when I can, and he is patiently waiting.
GenoPsyde – Richard wanted the harness at first in about 60 days, then sent an email that life changing events occurred, please just take my time and do the harness when I can, take care of my family life first, and get to him by summer 09… Humm, June 20th is coming fast…
Charlie64 – Charles is another that is not posting in this thread because he is smart enough to email me direct and wait patiently. He also does NOT have a kitcar application coming from me. That was a deal I sold him and was to SHIP to him, but he decided to trade the KITCAR transaction for a Stage 2 intercooler system which has been on my shelf waiting on the car for 2 years. The car has been here only 1 year now. Right when I was having to change my Feb 2008 life.
carbonfiber_kid – He called last summer and decided that with the discounts I have gave him on all the parts that the wiring was something he wanted to do and just send the programmed PCM and wiring back. I did that. Now today of course he is jumping on the Kostas band wagon and saying that he never got the harness. Oh, that is also what Robert from Canada is doing.. Another one that got his harness before the snow flew here at least in 08.
Now here is a list of the PEOPLE that have posted in this thread Just on page one !!! ...
MstangsBware – Friend, and I thank you for the kind words as always.BTW, your PCM is/has been ready for serveral days....
Ditkaphile- I have no clue who you are, but thank you for the kind words.
Chicken McNizzle- West Coast Fieros sometimes employee … on and off kind words over the course of years I have known Eric. I have a WCF harness here today that just came in last week for rework. Some kitcar you guys did back in January I think it was.
BV MotorSports- I know this guy.. I was suppose to do a harness back before he was married, but then he moved to England. Welcome back to the USA.
Buds – useless post on page one.. no clue who he is.
JazzMan- useless person… stalker. Real scumbag that preys on girls because he cannot get a real girlfriend in life.
Fastback 86- Useless post on page 1, I have no clue who he is.
Darkhorizon- Useless posting on PFF, Real Fiero Tech, Club Grand Prix, and just about any other forum he has ever posted on. ***** ******** . Phone number *** *** **** as can be found in other postings on the internet if you look for it.
He is also a Instigator –
in⋅sti⋅gate
1. to cause by incitement; foment: to instigate a quarrel.
2. to urge, provoke, or incite to some
Thismanyfieros- don’t have a clue who he is. Says some good, some bad… Truth don’t hurt me however when someone is right. Getting my life back together now. Thanks…
Blackrams- I have spent hours on the phone with this guy in the past.. I would still do the same today if needed …
IIKool- Useless post of “why do ‘we’ let him keep doing this” … Who are you? No body to me. I don’t owe you anything. You don’t know the WHOLE story of the 2 sides that are involved in the transaction . Basicly Instigator –
in⋅sti⋅gate
1. to cause by incitement; foment: to instigate a quarrel.
2. to urge, provoke, or incite to some
Revin- Friend for the most part. I think I sold him a PCM or something once. Been to several car shows with him however.
jscott1- I think I got a car from him that is for someone else. Been to several car shows with him.
tuner2m6t- Unknown person. I have never done business with him that I know of. Based on his posting and not knowing the facts between the 2 parties that actually have the transaction, he is making a useless post.
Matthew_Fiero- Looks like I programmed the PCM.. if you need to email or call, try to I guess.
FIEROFLYER- Was a friend really. We had a vendor respect between us at one time. He always knew and even posted in the past that I was taking care of family business and was NOT stealing, running away, or scamming in general from PFF or anywhere else on the internet. He seems to have decided to take over trying to do wire harness for 3800 installs.. He finds that he cannot support the end results 25% of the time however and his customers call me. Then 10% of his customers hate the end results and send the harness to me for rework. Just vendor bashing now from him. Thanks Dan…

InTheLead- useless post on page one…
IwannaIRM- Friend. We have future work with each other.
fieroX- I cant even imagine the times I have talked with Ryan on the phone and tried to help him with his install of his car, his friends cars, and just trying to be a friend in general. I still regard you as a friend Ryan if you are not going to be 2 faced type poster I see so much of here on PFF. I see you are a new 3800 vendor now, and I wish you all the luck in this business. I am going after that V8 business now anyway these days. I see so many people on CGP switching to turbos, but I am still either an all motor, or supercharged power adder guy.
PBJ- Wannabe vendor, but just ‘gets’ the install done and bails out on the detail work. Always looking for a way to trash someone’s name. Just a pissy old guy with a bad attitude.
Instigator –

Joe 1320- don’t have a clue who he is…
Spiff- don’t have clue who he is. Enjoy your harness from PBJ.. glad it is at least working.
Dennis LaGrua- considered a friend at one time. Confided with personal information that I even asked not be posted on PFF, yet he did it anyway as a way to slander me. He is a wannabe vendor, but never has the detail work to finish the project right. He was blasted and trashed back in the 90’s for DIY turbo projects that he attempted for the 2.8’s .. I never ran he down on PFF or anywhere else until he became a lair and someone you cannot trust.
Hulki U. My-BFF- useless postings just about anywhere I see his PFF ID in a thread.

avengador1 - you live in FL... Andrew is in NH or NJ.. somewhere up there. I have already come to a solution for his parts that meets the needs of him and myself. He owed me money in order to get the harness. I will program the PCM and send back the harness as is where is today. He sent me over 50 emails calling me a Chinese rapist, Chinese baby rapist, thief,liar, scammer, and even some other stuff... you think I am going to work for this person? NO !!!! So quit asking about something you have ZERO involvement about. I asked you for your phone number via email and you have not provided it so I can tell you to SHUT THE F UP... its not your business.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is just page one. There are at least 15 more people that have stuck their useless comments in this thread without knowing the facts of the matter.. that is BUSINESS with me and my customer. Not your friend, not your next door neighbor, it is business with me and one person. Some have said, ‘well, joeblow don’t want to post because they will never see their parts / car/ harness… “ not true. EMAILS are the best recourse of action if you do not live in driving distance. GET on an airplane and come to DFW, I will pick you up is the next best if we cant resolve something in emails or phone calls. However most of the ‘joeblows’ listed know where they stand on either getting a harness, have the harness, will never get the harness in one case. I am not going to build Kostas another harness, I have supported that guy for 5 years and it does NOT pay off in the long run. He can deal with 3800Pro some more. I will deal with them.
I want to cover only one other person that decided to jump in this thread and trash on me. V8Archie. This should have always been a vendor to vendor respect relationship in life. He has not been the perfect business model over the 20 years he has been doing business in the Fiero community. He has at least filed bankrupty twice that I was told of in 1998 by people that knew him personally. His V8 hardware was always considered over priced and over rated angle iron. Wow, he finally decided to take a cut in profits and use a outside source to make some aluminum pieces and clean up some of those flame cut items. Archie did an install back in 05 that was a disaster for him. He had to put 2 transmissions ( manual 4 speeds ) in one car before it even left IL. Then upon the couple leaving his shop, the customer decided to check out the car on the interstate by merely getting up to 80 MPH and the throttle hung wide open. LT1 bolted to a 4 speed hung at wide open throttle. NOT GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!! … The customer finally cut the key and coasted to the side of the road. He called Archie and Archie would not even get out of his shop and drive 45 minutes to the customer on the side of the road to help him. The customer removed the throttle body air intake boot and found the vacuum hose that goes on the rubber boot to the throttle body stuck in the throttle plates. Archie acknowledged that one of his workers remarked missing that vacuum hose and just decided to replace it with a new one, not thinking that he should look around inside the trunk area and make sure it was NOT inside something like the AIR INTAKE rubber hose assembly. I am worse than V8Archie? Well, I have never about killed any of my customers with poor workmanship, or have any workers that are not smart enough to look around and make sure things are 100% right. Oh, that’s right, I am a one man operation still…. Always will be. If its wrong, then I am the one that is wrong and the blame starts here and stops here. One other matter about the said customer above with V8Archie. The 4 speed transmission went out again just about Oklahoma. Archie paid part of the fees I charged said customer to replace the transmission here at my place. This is the reason I know this story so well, the customer ended up having to stay here about 4 days total because of rain, other issues with the PCM, and getting a 4 speed transmission.
Look guys/girls… whoever…. Scammers run. Crooks run. Thief’s run. Bad business models file bankruptcy and run to another county/state to avoid the court system. I don’t have my back against the wall. I can get on an airplane today and run if I want to. I can go to just about any country I want to, and China would be my first choice, but I am not. I like the USA in general. I love my children, and one of the issues of 2008 is that my 17 year son quit school while living with my ex-wife, my 14 year old son needed to come back to live with me because he was making a whole 36 average in the school he was in. He today is coming into the last 6 weeks with all passing grades and will make it to the 9th grade. My 17 year old passed the GED and will now start college next week. I have a Chinese step son that spoke almost ZERO English when he got here in Oct 07, and now can pass the TAKS reading 8th grade test. I had a lot of crap on my plate in 08. Its pretty hard to be a teacher at home, take on a job that is 6 days a week at 65 plus hours, and of all things it was 7 days a week in August and September 08 at 75 hours a week… I did what I had to do to meet the needs of others, but it was just not the Fiero community at that time. April 09 was the time to get it back on track with the Fiero Community. Now you can either except that and embrace it, or continue to trash me. I did some things in 08 for people that were doing their own projects, but I did not do any installs. I only did about 5 wiring harness in 08 for people… I just finally had to quit answering my phone and emails so I could concentrate on my family life and issues. Not take any money or harness only to have them set around here idle waiting on me to get back on track. I did not know when that was going to be, it just happens to be April 09. I have 4 engines and 2 transmissions on order that will be here next tuesday. The V8 mated to a 6 speed automactic transmission will progress this summer, as well as some other nice new things.
I could go on and on with all this, but it is really not going to be worth it in the end most likely.. I am tired of typing… back to work in the shop…
Eat crow? Hell yes I am wrong in my business practices of 07 and 08, but I did not run out on anyone. I didnt change my address or phone number. First and foremost, I did what I had to do for my children and wife.
Thank you all …
