I am NOT in the business to rip anyone off.I HAVE NOT ripped ANYONE off.I am not out to go out of my way and screw you or anyone else over.

You want to know what happened well here’s what happened.I sent your harness out last week.I get back to school today and find YOUR harness and ANOTHER customer's harness sitting in the mail room for me RTS'ed because I miswrote the address for it (most likely because it was at 3 freaking AM when i did).You'll have it back weds day as I just now got it repackaged and ready to go out.

If you feel the need to let the world know that I have ripped you off and your friends feel that i should be sued because I tried to help you out the best i could then please feel free to do so.

Don't forget you sent me harness that someone else had monkeyed with before and had several connections cut to it requiring it to be looked over and repaired (both KA and RB!).Don't forget that you asked me to label every connector and where it went for you so you could install it correctly and i did so without hesitation.Don’t forget that you DID NOT INCLUDE RETURN SHIPPING but I would have shipped it twice now!Don't forget that you sent me harnesses that were covered in grease and dirty so now my small limited area in my dorm room is beyond gross.

If you feel that my time and effort aren’t worth it then why do I bother even trying?You had a choice in whom to send your stuff to and you chose me, there are a number of people that could have received it and you would have been on the back burner for MONTHS.

I can name on one hand how many people have EVER had to send one of my harnesses back and that number is a longstanding ZERO with hundreds of them out there.

So there you go, i hope that all is well and you got what you wanted.Defame my name and spread lies...very grown up.-carl h

haha I don't think people understand that you aren't a business and that you don't have a bunch of chronies running around doing your work for you. Let alone that you do not have a workshop to deal with their $hit. Seriously, at least wipe the harness down before shipping it.

I wouldn't sweat your reputation at all. These guys are just impatient suckas. You should've kept the harnesses another week just to piss them off LOL.

Darius i like your style.

Carl i feel your pain man. I work 6 days a week as a motorcycle mechanic and then i go to school full time, plus I have tons of side jobs that im doing when i have free time. You tell people it will be down as soon as you possibly can and they tell you dont worry about take your time i dont need it right now, but they call you all the time and bug you about it because you didnt have it done the next day.

No matter what these little a** clowns say about you everyone knows you do quality work and it wont hurt your rep. I was incredibly satisfied with my tach i sent to you. It is spot on and it was a quick turn around time.

No thats is out of the way, I just bought a nistune setup and i sent you a im about doing a base map on it for me. Email me at [email protected] and let me know if this is something we can work out. later

Carl H is the man, always has time for my dumb questions, on AIM or on the forums. If you have an issue with him, suck it.

hey man just an fyi for that noob. Carlh is the friggin man and is 2nd to none when it comes to wire harness work. At least 75% of the members on here have asked him for his help or had their done by him. I know your pissed but please show some patience and just be glad he did your harness for you. Also, when you need some trouble shooting done he is top notch.

+1. Carl H is an amazing asset to the RB community. to Carl H. It's noob's like this that get impatient that push great guys like Carl H away from doing harnesses and stuff like that for us.

KUILLIN_DRIFTER, I was patient and calm for 1 month. For everybody in this community he is a great guy. I don't argue with that. I had a problem with a first "wiring master" who tried to rip me off. Then Carl has been keeping harnesses and money for one and a half months promising to finish them every weekend. just put yourself on my place, you sent your staff to me and I keep it way longer than it should be, just promising you to send it back to you every week. Or when you buy something on e-bay and a seller doesn't ship it to you for weeks. what do u feel about that? Yes I'm a noob in wiring, and I don't know how everything works in the USA... But like I said men should keep their words - if u said by the end of the week - it must be done by that time. ok once it didn't work, twice... but 4 times in a row - IT IS TOO MUCH... I DO appreciate help, and I can make troubles for people who deserve it... If Carl H sends the properly completed harness on this week, nobody will have any problems and he will get some extra money as my apologies for all what I wrote...

yah man i hear ya, but reguardless i vouch for carlh. he's pulled my a$$ outta the sling many a time with my rb swap. Also as posted above he is a college kid full time and does this on the side. He'll do it when he can. If you'd work with him he'll work with you.

the way i look at it is that Carl does beyond a great job on anything he lays his hand on. if he had my harness for a year i wouldn't mind because its Carl and he wants to make sure it right the first time. If patience is something that you don't possess then next time let mckinney do it they will screw it up 3 times and you'll wish that you didn't burn a potental bridge.

Plus its a RB it'll never run right and you'll always be working on it so why freak out over a month when some of us have put years into engines that may or maynot have run a one point in time and don't know when they will ever run again.....

Just my .37 Cent.

I personally know someone who had a harness done by wiring specialties that screwed it up. I fixed it, and they refunded him some paltry amount for his trouble. Car was down for months because of the error.

Just hang in there, I would trust Carl in a second. If I needed a harness done, it would go to him...

Who did you deal with to start with?

Trust me Romeo, you will get the harness. I have my harness from him but unfortunately havent swapped the rb26dett motor yet to test but CarlH did keep great communication and harness did come back well packaged.

Well not to take any sides but, I know Carl dose good work. I can def. understand anyone’s frustrations on expecting something within a certain time frame. But Carl dose need to realize that if he can't keep up with the work load he should not put more on his plate. You can’t do favors for anyone. Carl did my harness of my first Rb project, took 8 months to get it back.My harness did need some extra massaging but not 8 months worth.

Im not saying nothing bad, just my 2cents

Roman,I have forwared you the information on tracking...it should be there by thurs afternoon.as far as money goes its not about money, honestly it isnt...its more about integrity and mine being called into question.I try to keep harnesses in order and keep my work load in check but having several show up all at once then have several tests in one week was enough to back me up considerably.I highly doubt you'll be dissatisfied with the final product...and hopefuly see it was worth the wait dispite the minor hitches it caught.Carl

Carl, it is not a problem... I'm sorry about everything. I'm just stressed - my first project with import cars is stopped waiting for the harness for so long time. (I always worked with russian and german cars) The mailman knows my name already LOL... when u said by the end of the week, I was expecting it to happen like crazy... and my friends are saying - " it is just too long, he is another............ who tries to ...... you" Carl, I just overreacted... As I said u do ur part of the deal - I'll do mine... As my customers who get their boats and go fishing they become calm if we had any problems and I'll calm down when my car starts.

Honestly I'm with everyone on here that stands behind Carl 1000% nothing ever goes perfect,it's a swapped car that the OP obviously has no idea how to do everything himself so if you want it right you have to wait and take chances.

Carl has talked to me millions of times on AIM about whatever I asked,has helped me with tunes,chipping and very soon harness work and has never complained but he has alot of work load,trying to fund college,do favors for EVERYONE,and do emmaculate work at the same time I honestly myself would slap someone silly for f-ing with someone like him.

Carl man I have told you over and over again dude I appreciate the time you have taken to answer my questions and do things the right way everytime.

If people can't be patient go swap a b16 into a civic.

Thanks, that was a good laugh lol. But +1. If you're upset about a 1 month downtime on a RB you probably shouldn't be swapping an RB. Just look at the NRRBA thread.

Carl is a sexy biatch!!! He knows his shyt 100%.Does super clean workHelped me out dunno how many times.

You should be happy that he even worked on your harness. Working on a chopped up harness that someone else has messed with already is a lot more work.Especially when he has to clean and label each connector for you.

I've had So called a "RB Guru" do my 1st harness and totally destroyed it.Never got my $ back or an apology.

Carl is def a stand up guy.

... That is all.Had to rep for my boy!!
