Not a bad idea, but sometimes that can get a little testy. I helped CoolBlue with an SUV purchase up here in Atlanta, and MatthewFiero with a search for a local scammer who failed to deliver, and JimmyS with a bad product. Never had a problem until I offered to help Jimmy. The guy he was dealing with wasn't the most friendly to a third party sticking their nose into the deal. Second visit, I wore concealed.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I know one of the holdups on finding another source for a harness for my son's 3800 swap is the thought of spending money for 2 new harnesses I already own, but cannot get back and sending it away to be modified. I just have a bad feeling that as soon as I give in and go this route Loyde will finally grow a pair and send the harness that I have been waiting for from him. This will then leave me with an extra harness and I quite honestly would have a hard time pawning this off to someone else because I cannot imagine what kind of service he would provide on any problems with the harness if it takes 2-3 years to get it. I can only assume working up a harness like this is not as simple as it sounds and there are certainly many variables involved in different people doing slightly different types of swaps, but it seems there is a need for some enterprising person to fill a void here and provide at the least a stock drivetrain swap that can provide a starting point for those of us in love with this engine and this little car. I long for the days when all you needed was a hot wire to the distributor to fire it up.
Aris keep me posted on your project. I am anxious to see what the outcome will be.
And where is Loyde lately. Has he been posting anywhere or has he dropped into a rabbit hole somewhere?

fierofool,
Once again I thank you for your help with that. I did not know till just reading this that you felt the need to carry when you went back. I would have said forget it if I knew it was that bad. He did make good on the product though and again, I appreciate your help.
As for Lloyd... I have only dealt with him once and that was when he reprogrammed my PCM for me. He did as he said and I had it back within 2 weeks of sending it to him. I feel for all of you who are having problems with him. I had similar prolems with kitcarman (see sig) so I know what you are going through.
I currently am only working part time so I have a lot of extra time on my hands. I can use the money right now and if someone has a completed harness and a harness that needs to be done, and is willing to send them to me, and I will duplicate it. I re-did my own harness and it's really not that hard. Just time consuming. I will solder and heat shrink all connections they way it should be done. I will tape the wires and the customer can add their own wire loom. $400 sound fair?------------------

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

Jimmy, the subsequent visits were no problem. Just that initial visit kinda.....well, put me on guard! Actually, when all was said and done, he offered to make a donation of a helmet to the Run For The Hills raffle.

Does anyone here live near FF? And if so can you go by(put the phone in his hand) and have him call everyone that he owes products and/or $$$. MAke the calls and hand him the phone and let him face his customers and explain the situation. Plus come up with a time line for completing the orders or payment plan. Just my 2cents.

Funny how he was willing to "give" a helmet away but wanted to be an A$$ about replacing mine with a non damaged one that I "paid" for. People amaze me sometimes!

As thismanyfieros said I paid a pro to do that. Maybe it was easy to make the harness my self...but having in mind that I own a restaurant/plaza near the sea with many people visiting everyday and an other business selling construction material for houses it is very difficult to say I am going to build a harness when coming back home completely dead. You see I am busy too ...and not only Loyde Rascoe who does not appreciate my time and my money.
Why shall I appreciate his? He was not busy to accept my money. But of course it is easy to accept money and then ignore everybody who is in an other country.
Apart from that you are in US you can ask for help everywhere. As been said there are only 3 Fieros in Greece. It is cheaper to repair a Porsche here than a Pontiac. |

i never would of guessed there being ANY Fieros in Greece!
bravo kai pali kala!
where abouts?
we're from just outside of Patra...

I am supposed to go up there and get my car next weekend. About 3 months ago, he said he would have it done in July, so I talked to a bad ass paint and body guy and booked him for the week after next to work on my car. (He has a 3 month waiting list of cars) So, even though Loyde has not returned my e-mail or taken any of my phone calls I have to pick up my car next weekend. I am hoping he will have my swap done, but finished or not, its coming home for some work.
If we can get a list of customers wanting an update, I will ask Loyde about each one.
