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

Not me, but he obviously took offence to what you are saying.

Since people aren't chiming in against either product, apparently there isn't an issue with either vendor's product.

This is all about one persons personal dislike for me. As I have mentioned many times in the past I do not know what sardonyx247 has against me. I have asked him many times on this forum what he has against me. He has never answered that question. Jealous? Envious? I don't know. He doesn't say he had a bad experience with a purchase of any of my parts. Not sure if he has ever even purchased any of my parts. Says my 3.4 drill jig is faulty then can offer no proof. Now Zefyr chimes in and says he had a bad experience with me and again offers no documentation of this bad experience.

If Fiero owners here were having bad experiences with me personally or if my products were faulty there would be numerous posts concerning just that on this forum. Yet it is just one person (now maybe 2) recently posting negative things here. I have sold parts to thousands of Fiero owners for almost 20 years now and personally made over 4000 posts here.

I don't know what to do. sardonyx247 just wants to stick it to me for his own personal pleasure. Again: everything we have fought about starts with a jab from sardonyx247. What's your problem sardonyx247?

PS: The reason I ask if you are Chris West's son: Many many years ago I had a $10 minimum on my web page for credit cards. Chris West's son ordered some stickers that would have been around $5.00 or so with shipping. So I charged him $10.00. I was just getting into this business back then. I no longer do that. If someone orders a $2 sticker I usually just send it to them N/C. Now worth charging a card for that. There is no profit after expenses. Looking back I realize I should have not done that to Chris West's son or anyone else for that matter. I am sorry for that but live and learn. For many, many years after that Chris West's son jabbed at me whenever he could find an opening. He also upset others here and eventually he disappeared. Then not long after he disappeared a sardonyx247 comes on the forum. Same thing starts again from sardonyx247. This sardonyx247 jabs at me just like Chris West's son did. So that is why I ask if you are Chris Wests son. You never show your name so I have no way of knowing what your name actually is.

Just stop. You're both losing from this line of posting. Much respect for both of you.

Thank you, dratts. People believe what they want. We aren't in high school, anymore.

Documentation? It was nearly 10 years ago. I inquired about your starter jig. I forget exactly what I asked, but your only response was, "Guess you'll have to buy it and read the directions." Sardonyx at the same time was kind enough to help me, via chat and his 3.4L swap thread, drill my 3.4L block and complete my first 3.4L swap. My avatar is a picture of my 86 GT with the back lifted by a forklift during that swap. (I got away with a lot at that job). I was willing to buy your part, but you lived up to your name, and it caused me to venture a little farther and see what I could accomplish. I guess I should actually thank you for that then.

Never in my life would I tell anyone that. Another fabricated lie. I mean really.

Do I really need to dig through my Emails and find your exact response? Would copy paste work? Or would you prefer a screen capture?

It's funny because that is exactly what you did to me, BTW I am NOT West's son, but you should have learned from what you did to him, not to do it to other people. You over charged me on an order, when I asked why, you said I guess I could have charged you more. It wasn't so much the over charging, but the extreme arrogance you had thinking you could just over charge people, by saying you could have charged me more. And this wasn't even my first order from you, but it was my last. oh and I have told you this before when you first called me West's son. Technically what you did, well to both of us I see, was illegal. I don't even think I met his son, I have met Chris West many times, if I met his son I didn't even know it. Now you piss me off due to the cheap quality of parts you are farming out to China to mark up 10 times ripping off us Fiero owners. I understand profit, but you go way beyond with your markups. I don't like anyone or company sending jobs overseas, you are part of the problem, now it is hurting Fiero owners with quality issues, you may as well be walmart but without the cheap price. And your arrogance just got worse, you think you are all that, when someone says something bad about you, you call for people to defend you and give them negs, fight your own battles. Biggest thing of all is you need to humble yourself a bit and "get off your high horse"

I have some stuff made overseas. Some stuff is made here in America. I generate profits. I have expenses. Employee wages.(yes I have a few employees), workers comp, unemployment insurance, tooling fees, shipping costs, storage fees, R&D costs, donations to car shows, shop expenses, tools, machines (yes I machine a fair amount of parts in my shop), heat and electricity, accounting, insurance, printing costs and the list goes on and on. Many of my parts from overseas I have to buy in large minimum quantities and it takes several years to sell them all. I have parts that I am a long way from breaking even on. I only profit on a parts after I pay the expenses and the cost of the parts. On many parts that the break even point is more than a few years. In the mean time I pay taxes on inventory every year. Many of the parts I have made overseas took a huge amount of effort and many years to get to the point of being made. Air freighting samples back and forth.

I don't see anyone complaining my parts are low quality. It is uber rare I ever have a return.

If I talked you you in a way that upset you I would guess it is because you were a jerk towards me. I don't see much of anyone on the forum saying I am a bad guy.

I see envy and jealousy.
