Basically this crap should not be allowed to happen and the forum members should not be defending some one who has been proven to be a crook.



No one is jumping on or ripping into the people that have been, as you say, "ripped off" to defend Loyde. Everyone that has posted has offered a simple way to contact him.

And who are you to call Loyde's satisfied customers lackies (which correctly is lackey)? Are you an expert in performing servitude to others or trying to please others for your own personal gain?

What you see in these threads are satisfied customers and friends defending him and disatisfied customers lynching him. It's understandable. Not to make comparisons but where's the difference between this and all the attacks West Coast Fiero receives for their lack of customer service? And it seems Chris West is doing just fine in the Fiero community.

And when was it that Loyde was proven to be a crook? I see no bookings in Tarrant county or Dallas county with his picture. It's assumed by you that he is a crook. He may have problems now but to label him a crook would be slanderous on your part.

I'm not condoning the unanswering of emails and phone calls by any means and I'm not flogging the unsatisfied customers. There are definitely problems but you and others that are not directly involved with his business dealings should know all sides of the story before lynching any person.

Just my .02 cents worth.

Slander is the spoken word. In print it's called libel. And.... if he has documentation, it's not libel...


If it were me, I would make several copies of all pertinant information. Do some investigation, find out the local PD that would handle a fraud claim in his area. Do the same in your home town. Send the information to both police departments to the attention of whomever is the top dog in charge. make sure Both PD contacts are listed as a cross referance.

That's how you get things moving..... when the PD doesn't need to have any investigations or detective work. When you furnish everything, the two departments talk and someone gets sent to knock on his door. problem solved. I would have done that after 6 months tops.

I wont say anything good or bad about Loyde because I have not done business with the man, but from what I was reading about his time delays and whatever was going on with him I decided to have Pete (PBJ) do my harness. It was cheaper and faster. I had it back within 2 weeks and that included shipping to and from Canada.

I dont think Pete does the harness for others anymore, but there are other options out there other than Loyde.

Aris, If I could I'd bring it to Greece with me next time I come to visit my family there.

At the risk of alienating Loyde who has been a friend, I will tell all of you the story as to what is going on. Loyde told me this in confidence and I promised that I would not make this info public but with the bashing that he has taken in this post I feel obligated to come to his defense with the hope that he takes what I am saying in a positive matter.
I have dealt with Loyde in the past. He has always delivered, returned calls, shared info and has been a reputable source. A guy in my club also ordered stuff from him and he also received prompt service and the product worked as advertised. So why isn't Loyde shipping of late? . The township where Loyde has his shop discovered that it was located in a residental area. People complained so the zoning board had been giving Loyde a hard time over an extended period. A few months ago things came to a head and the zoning board finally issued a violation notice that simply said "cease business or be prosecuted" Loyde had no choice but to suspend operations. The shop was his livelyhood and he temporarily took a job in an auto repair facility to keep a roof over his head while he looked for a new location to move his FastFieros shop to. Fast Fireos will be relocating and Loyde will be back in business at a new location very soon.
I have faith that Loyde is an honest business person and will be fulfilling all orders of Fiero parts that people have been waiting for. Now I will turn this post back to Loyde and hope that he will comment.

Seems like a simple explanation that could have been explained to his customers instead of ducking them. Instead he chose to keep them in the dark, live off of their money, and not deliver a product without explanation. I'm glad this post was here, so when it comes time for me get a harness, I know where not to go. I don't know him nor have I ever talked to him, but word of mouth can be your best advertisement, or your worst adversary.

Agreed, this is information that should have been shared with his outstanding accounts.

Sucks that he’s booted out of his shop. He’s had his share of problems over the past few years….so have I.


I’m a pretty understanding and patient person (obviously after 3 years). Lyode, you should know by now I get upset quickly with no response, and that I can easily be soothed with honest communication.

This information along with answers to simple questions like, am I next in line...third in line…100th…? Would go a long way.

Sorry to sound unsympathetic, but I have many things going on in life and need to make plans to move on with this project. No response, or “I can’t give you an answer” won’t cut it much longer with me. I need to move forward with or without you.

Anxiously awaiting your response.

I have been waiting "a while" (well over 9 months) too, but I told Loyde that I could wait given that at the time I was a new dad. Over the past 6 months I have not had calls or emails returned, and I've been a bit worried. Hopefully, he gets things back on track soon...not sure how much longer my wife will put up with a dead car in the yard...

So his shop has been closed for almost three years as that is how far back some of the rip offs go which means every one since then has intentionally been misled and guaranteed some thing he knew he could not deliver.
I do not care how bad some ones personal life or problems are ripping off others especially in a community like this is still worng and should not be accepted.
Why do I get involved as he does not owe me any thing, it is because I am tired of making harnesses for customers he has ripped off and left screwed with out their money and original harnesses.
I was contacted a year or so ago by lloyd about doing some harnesses for him as he could not do them, I offered to do them for $350 each and he wanted me to do them for less even though he had already been paid at least two to three times that by the people he has screwed.
To date I have done 11 harnesses for people he has failed to full fill his obligations to and at leats 10 more I have told I do not have the time right now to do them, not send me the money so i can spend it and never get back to them like he does.
My advice to lloyd is get off your ass and get these people taken care of you do not need a shop to make wiring harnesses, heck I make them in a small room upstarir in my home. Dan
