Damn, that really sucks. I bought a new GTO trans from them just under a year ago and after a little bit of run around on getting it shipped when it was supposed to, I got it. I thought about posting the issue online but changed my mind after I had a problem with it due to a clutch failure and SSI had me ship it back, then fixed it for free and paid to ship it back to me. That more than made up for the original issue in my mind seeing as how they held no responsibility for the problem, so I've been recommending them ever since. That really sucks because their builds seem like quality builds from my experience. Ah well, sounds like I got one of the last good transmissions from them.

Wow, I had always heard good things about them too and, until I saw this thread just now, I was considering purchasing a built T-56 from them. Guess that's not going to happen! For everybody that is owed money from them I really hope you can get it back somehow.

Well I'm one of the unfortunate ones that sent the $500 initial deposit to find this out.
My check was cashed on the 2nd of OCT..where am I right now..sitting in Iraq..
So it was a pretty decent feeling knowing that I may have possibly lost $500. Can I affort that loss in the big scheme of things, yes. Do I really honestly want to..knowing that my money is already gone and I will possibly never see it again..no, but that the hell you going to do, it would cost more than that in Lawyer costs..
I have sent several PM's to work out a deal on possibly getting it built through Joe himself. That way I can atleast have a Transmission, instead of getting completely ripped off on my $500.
What do you guys think of that..would you go with that, I'm still debating it given the last few months of their business with some of you guys, and knowing that I won't have any guarantees, and that some of you guys havent even recieved what you ordered.
Lets here some opinions..I'm personally leaning toward the take this one in the ***, and know that I may never see my money again..
EDIT: I'm sure someone has noticed as well as I have, but their screen name has changed..I wonder when their little add will disappear from the Sponsors Links over on the right side.

Unfortunately, It doesn't look good. I was going to have my tranny rebuilt but, the shop that was doing it (also a sponsor here) ordered from them even after I told them not to. They are out the $$$$ unless they get lucky to get it back. What I don't get is if they are in such dire straights, how they can afford to go to the LSX shootout to set records? Especially when so many people are owed so much.

Too bad to hear that from alot of people.
The one time i orderd parts from them was 2 months ago & i had to call from abroad 3 times & was left on the phone for nearly 10 min just to know when they will ship the parts and in the end i got them 3 weeks after i made the payment when they told me they have the parts ready to be shipped in 2 days.From that day i decided not to DO BUSINESS WITH THEM EVER AGAIN.so it must have been coming.
Too bad they are doing that to others too.

I really do feel for the people that are out $$$$ as of today. I know Joe and Amber to be great people(contrary to what Joey@Tick insinuated) and have always been willing to help the LSx community move forward.
It's absolutely possible that they got in over their heads. It's possible they over-stepped their means financially. It's also possible that they were struck by the "economy bug". Probably the best conclusion is a cumulative hit on all fronts.
The truth of the matter is this: Everyone needs to take one step back and take a deep breath. Even those with money out of pocket. I highly doubt Joe/Amber are the type of people to just dissapear from the LSx community, or intentionally screw people out of money.
I would say the thing that has hurt them the worst is possibly getting a little too big of an operation, and at the worst possible time with our current economic crisis. That hurt them because the customer contact/service suffered, and they had no way to back-flow. Alot of what i hear is the slow replies/turnaround on parts really hurt some people's trust. That's a fair critisicm to make. I still strongly believe that Joe and Amber will do anything and everything to make things right.
Also, please try to keep the "Well that's not the business i want" or "what a crappy ____" Joe/Amber have been around the LSx community too long to get dragged through the mud like that. They deserve a little respect, or at the very least they have earned the chance to prove they will make things right.
Anyone that has owned or still does own a small start up business knows this is the inherent nightmare that faces the majority of startups. It's tough to see when you are the one out $2500 or $5000, but I think the best thing you have going for you is Joe/Amber are respected members of "our" community" and will do what is right.

Nobody wants to lose X amount of money.
I'm just looking after getting my money back without creating a fuss.
I have reopened a claim through paypal (well after 45 days) and called Amber at the new number, saying she will refund it on monday. Completely holding this to her as I have plenty of information about Amber/Joe and T56/SSi.
I really dont want to make a big fuss... but its alot of money to be losing.
