If I read this thread correctly, Juan took the car to FP with 1500 miles on it and "no prior work performed". People seem to be asking a lot of questions that are answered in the original post.

I have *now* heard both sides of this story. Until today I had only heard Sharif's side. I can honestly say that his side doesn't add up. Juan's does. The pictures do not lie. Me? No dog in this fight, either. But, I am always going to speak up when their is obvious Vendor bias.
.


No vendor bias as there has never been any money exchanged between Forged and myself. I am speaking to Forged's reputation from the countless satisfied customers. Like I said, a simple google search or breeze through my350z.

I have never had a windshield sticker with Forged's name on it...cough cough

"it means that, like me, he's a rolling free advertisement for Forged Peformance... but, since my car is becoming so well known, i'm going to start renting windshield space...

HEAR THAT, sharif!? i need some free labour or i'm going back to the "clean" look! *lol*"

The comment re: vendor bias wasn't directed at you. And, yes, as you well know, I was a big FP supporter as well as a good friend of Sharif's - which means, I know Sharif's side of all the stories. I know the good, the bad and the ugly. It also means that it took a LOT of evidence and comparing stories (such as you were doing) for me to come to the conclusions that I have.

Trust me when I say that there was no one who wanted to believe none of this was the truth more than I.

Less than 3 months ago, you had them listed as one of your "sponsors". How long did you know about these horror stories? If they were so bad, why in the world would you let them "sponsor" you?

Forged has a great reputation that's why you seek them out to be your sponsor.

I had read the Juan thread on my350... But didn't get the full story until I had to remove my car from FP for other family reasons. So after getting several annonymous messages from un-named people and sources incouraging me to dig further I did just that... What did I find a whole slew of things that made me drop FP as a sponsor. I have too many other sponsors that rely on my good name and my build to have it all brought down by a shady sponsor hence why I dropped spawn aero too!!!

Your cool with me bro. I know alot of people hate, but I kinda like your assholeness. You back it up with facts, and strong knowledge on forced induction. I can respect that!

Back to the story - yes this horrible. Either way, if any of those images were a result of FP's install work, nothing more can be said except, damn!...

I really want to believe its not true and I wait for they're response...

Geez, these guys race for crissakes. If they showed up on track with a car like that they'd be banned for life. I still smell fish, man.

You would be surprised what shows up on tracks. Honestly, the shape juan's car is in would be allowed on most tracks!!! It's scary!!!

By the way the race 370z is not sharif's and is worked on by the owner of the car but just in their shop. I know because I helped him install his sway bars while my coilovers were being installed.

As long as the oil/other fluids and tires stay where they are then he's good to go! :ugh2:

lol a shop who has been putting out 100s of cars over several years, all of a sudden is getting treated like some guy working out of the back of his van. say what you want, but this is 1 bad car vs how many good 1s? and if theres supposedly all these other bad experiences - where is the proof? ive been through this numerous times with shops like vrt, sgp, pf, etc. most of these shops got closed down by the community before most of you even had your cars. do you really think this community would let a shop like forged do bad business over all these years because of vendor bias? as for the people demanding an explanation, 4 hours is a lifetime on the internet but really not that long for a real business. i know those guys work plenty of late nights so give them a chance - obviously they arent going to just ignore this.

as for jays 370, damn that thing is sweet!

Thanks...I think? ;) Seriously, though, I am not trying to come off on this forum as an a-hole. I have just been in this arena for far too long to sit back and watch those who haven't get snowed by vendors and their hype. I was once in their position and I got burned a few times. If it means taking some lumps by the fanbois in the process, so be it. I'm thick-skinned and know that eventually they will be thankful for the information I provide.

And I can categorically say that those pictures are the real deal and that was FP's work. Even Sharif will be admitting to this when he posts, I'm sure. No way he would/could deny it.

LateralG'z 04-09-2010 07:59 PM

nice work looks like your doing real work to me. This is absolutely unacceptable period! business or not. I hope you have good insurance. If it was me, i would be taking your *** to the cleaners and back. I hope you have loyal followers because this is pitiful and deal for anybody who see this. :shakes head::barf:
