I have pretty much had enough mindless paperwork. I am well aware of the need for quality controls. No matter how you cut it, what we will supply are Tier 2 parts, aftermarket style parts. We are not going to shut down an assembly line. If by some miracle we sell so many Big 3 branded performance parts we over run our capacity the Big 3 and Pedders will be celebrating the sales and not worrying about the constraint.

Tell me what the tolerance is for increased NVH in exchange for meeting your performance objectives, send me two cars (one to modify and one stays bone stock for side by side testing) and I'll deliver exactly what you asked for on or under budget. I think it was the on or under budget part that was hard to understand.

I am beginning to see a pattern. I am right about everything, but the rest of the world struggles with that. Except for my friends here in the house.
Big companies have a hard time understanding how small company works and what the work ethic is at a small company and what"at or below" means. Below is foreign unless they can feel they beat you down to it so they can tell their managers how successful they were in beating you down to it.

Keep the faith, Pete. Right is right.

Did I miss something Pete? Is there a particular issue that I missed or are you just talking about the "overall" situation?

Oh yeah. All the good parts have been deleted.

They said black.

I said white.

They said black was perfect and white was all wrong.

I said explain why this extremely well respected high end company uses the same preload and height adjustments style as Pedders.

They said black was perfect and white was all wrong.

I called



I said post one more word and I would start posting PMs they sent to people buying Pedders that were loaded with lies.

They posted one more word. After all these years they didn't know I would do exactly what I said I would do

I posted the PM.

They said it was a lie.

I said I'll post the entire PM in the original format. When everyone sees my post is factually accurate and true, that they are the bald face liars and scum I say they are, they will admit they are what they are and ban themselves from the forum for six months. If I couldn't make good on my word and post exactly what I said I had in hand, Pedders would leave C5 for six months.

I had it in black and white so what did I have to lose?

They reported me to the Moderators. AGAIN. The mods cleansed it. The mods did nothing wrong. C5 is not a in your face forum. I have no problem with C5.

I do have problems with people that are unethical. The next time I see them posting

I'll call it exactly what it is.

Sell your product any way you want to and leave me out of it. Try to sell you product by bad mouthing mine and I am going to call every time.

Let me get this off my chest.

I appreciate that. I wasn't complaining. Just venting. I thought I left the high school he said she said stuff behind a 30 years ago
