This latest flap starts here:

Read this topic then offer an opinion on who is going after who.

He jabs me, I have to fight back. Same old story with this guy. Again and again and again and again...............

I have asked him many times why he hates me. Never an answer.

I see he removed the part in his first post where he claims some have ruined their engine blocks after using my 3.4 drill jig and replaced it with pictures of how he does it using a starter. This is why I quoted it so he could not completely remove it.

Those jigs have been known to ruin blocks. they are made one time use only and get worse every time they are used.
Again they can ruin your block, IE it can drill the starter too far away, then the block is trash.
Just use a starter as a guide to drill the holes.

sardonyx247 why did you remove that paragraph above and replace it with a picture tutorial of how to use a starter to drill a 3.4 block?

We fight because you jab me and I fight back. Stop jabbing me and I'll stop fighting back. What a simple solution. All these "fights" start with one of your jabs against me.

I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, who started it, or placing blame anywhere.

Rodney, you have nothing to prove. You're Rodney Dickman. There is no reason for a war here.

You know, I got my tires rotated and balanced, the other day (not on my Fiero), and a wheel bearing went out the next day. MUST have been the fault of the rotate/balance shop! Or, it could have been the fact that the vehicle has 300K miles on it, and had been hit on that side. Seriously, things happen.

If there is an isolated incident with a vendor's product, I would hope that we could take it to that vendor, and the issue would be addressed. Since people aren't chiming in against either product, apparently there isn't an issue with either vendor's product. Certainly, those of us who aren't vendors are quick to complain, myself included. If a vendor's product/service has issues, the situation will resolve itself.

I don't like threads to degrade into flame wars. People read these threads for help and community. I haven't met either of you, yet, but everyone off the forum I have met has been decent. I'm sure you both are, also. PFF may be the only experience some people have with Fiero people. Do we want them to see flame wars, personal attacks, and general negativity?

You each sell a product that you stand behind and believe is the best. Thank God for that! You've both invested time and money into your product, and I sincerely hope you will both be amicable competitors, as well as friendly forum members far into the future.

And while I'm at it, I don't have everything I need for my Fiero. Too many vendors are gone, and I'm sure you've both been around long enough to benefit from the products those vendors offered. I don't yet have the booster, either. If we can't get the answers to questions some have asked, I may not get it. I'm not good at staying away from confrontation, but the productive posts seem to have ceased on this thread, and members may stop reading this thread. This is bad for both of you. Apparently, this has spilled over from other threads. How many more will there be?

rodney if you read the jig thread I say why I changed the post, I couldn't find the thread I was looking for, that I read before, so I acted like a man and took it back.
The only constant question you have asked me is "are you Cris West's son"

tshark, there is probably no more info in this thread as it is 9 pages long, what more is there to add.

Here is a topic for debate (not a jab but a debate)

rodney you said before in this thread

If you would not trust a welded banjo in your mera, why would you expect anyone else trust a screw on rod?

Way more than installing a booster rebuilt by minimum wage assembly line workers who don't care, taken apart by a backyard bozo mechanic and reassembled with some used parts.

Not a jab, just the facts.

Wow dickman, you really are living up to your name. All respect for you, not saying I had much for you to begin with over my past dealings with you, is gone. You do bring valuable info to the forum, but this is getting out of hand. I have been a part of the Las Vegas Fiero Club for almost 10 years, and we are not a bunch of 'bozo backyard mechanics'. We build quality and spend a lot of time taking care of the details so many others fail to when building cars. I personally find your antics to resemble those of a 2 year old losing an argument. Making a profit from your ingenuity is one thing, but you go far beyond that with many of your 'products'. You lived up to your name when I tried to work with you in the past, and it is sad to see that you have gone above and beyond again.

I'm sorry. I did not know there were two sardonyx247's here.
