so is FRIENOFYOURS real business name Jolley Racing? Listed as Dallas Jolley as the owner. I think Dallas Jolley 3rd. is who I'm dealing with (as Friendofyours) who is the son?
Anyone else have more info?
Thank you.

Well I just got a voicemail at work (not in my office today) asking for my shipping address for the parts. My fingers are crossed.... I recommended he bring the parts with him while delivering Capt Fiero's car so that he can mail them from within Canada with tracking info for much cheaper and no chance of them being "lost" in customs..
I know, more broken promises. I've been plugging away and finally got everything powdered and have a brand new flywheel turned and balanced just for you.
Good talking to you. Like I told you just now, I don't mean to give anyone the run around. I gain nothing by making you all wait except to piss you off. I'll be heading up Sunday to drop off Capt's car and will have tracking for everyone. This has been a long time coming for a couple of you and I can do nothing but apologize and get you all your parts

I know it's not really my business, but I'm really getting sick of watching this happen on this forum over and over. It's happened to me a couple of times from different people here. DON'T apologize, get them their damn parts and / or money back. Otherwise what you're doing is theft on top of lying. Seriously if you can't get your **** together, then issue refunds and close up shop. If I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for a way to get them their parts AND AT LEAST a partial refund for the trouble I had caused.

Agreed.....Purple has been waiting a LONG time for his parts as have others, it really gets old reading nothing but broken promises and failed deadlines. From reading all of this stuff I am amazed at the patience some of these guys have with vendors.

Just got off the phone with FOY Racing, FriendOfYours hasn't been doing well and can't work as he posted. I actually got a voicemail but didn't leave a message they called me back later. The person I talked to was very nice and helpful, my order is being shipped today. He said FriendOfYours would be more in a tech support role now, and I believe he said his son is going to be taking over his forum presence. I wouldn't be worried at the moment as the shop is still operating.
If you were/are like me, concerned that I may or may not get what I orderd, I'd say don't hesitate to give them a call.
I was just hoping to clear something up here from post back in late June and early July of 2012. FriendOfYours said he had some health issues and the above quote says his son took over. I'm a bit confused, the FOY I know doesn't have a son, only a daughter. Sorry, not trying to be nosy, just concerned i guess.

Did anybody receive their parts yet from Foy? If not did anybody receive a tracking number?
Not yet.. Well at least not me. There was an unxpected delay yesterday... I hope to get my tracking numbers today and Capt Fiero hopes to get his car today.

Steve - You have tracking for two large priority boxes - One with the f23 kit and the another with a factory htob system frmo GM to replace the one you sent me
Ian - You have tracking for your adjusted and repowdered dogbone
Jose - You have tracking for the flat shift adapter
Jake - It is a good thing I put everything together before I sent you your kit because I messed up your harness somewhere, I'm going to take it apart this weekend and figure it out. Your money is still in the trust account, don't worry. When I spoke to your father I explained that to him
Everyone should now be taken care of aside from Jake. I am not going anywhere, I have cleared out my inbox and will reply to any and all PMs
So are you back in business? I know last time I was on these forums (a month of two ago) you were having difficulties, and no longer taking orders. I am interested in purchasing a low mount alternator bracket.

Glad to see nothing has changed with foy racing. Not really, I posted here quite a while ago with same issues from him. My opinion is everyone who has read any of this thread should get the point and not do business with this guy. He needs to grow up and figure out how to do business properly. Customer service is always number 1. Pissing everyone off is a sure way to end up bankrupt.
I realize we don't have a ton of vendors out there to help with our devotion to the fiero, but if we can't get parts from vendors online like this guy, what's the point.
I recently ordered some parts from west coast fiero, my experience wasn't all that good, but not anywhere near as bad as with foy. I did get my parts in time, shipping was outrageous for small concentric rings. $18, ouch. No Vaseline either. Rings fit perfectly.
My future business will be with local people making me my parts needed when needed.
His link is always in my sig.
