Forged Perfomance and my G37 TT build

LaSeeno · 04-09-2010, 07:51 PM

I'm sure Forged will reply when they get around to it. For those complaining at lack of response. They did respond, saying they will post their version soon. I'm sorry but 4 hours is not a lot of time during normal business hours. Maybe they are taking their time to give this thread the well thought out and documented response that "appears" neccesary.

Chances are those who would jump on them before hearing their side are potential customers they dont want anyway.

Just saying...

The pictures do tell the story of the build quality and lack of care shown to Juan's car!

As for pics, the goggles, they do nothing.

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.

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 don't know much about the situation, but I'm pretty sure he gave them the benefit and ended up paying for it.

Like I asked before did Juan start this build himself?

I'd let the KKK sponsor me if they wanted to invest enough money in my car

I'd let em sponsor me if they'd get rid of one sales guy at one of my vendors

I heard Al Qaeda is sponsoring....

I think they're protesting the Gay Jesus play.

It would probably be rigged to blow when the nav informed it that I was near a large building.

Here is an example of contradictions and different stories:

OP's Post here on the370z.com states: "I was made to pay for parts for a new short block. I never wanted a built block. I wanted the safe 500whp promised on my stock motor."

OP's Post on G37 Forum states : So shariff agrees to fix the car at no charge, back to Stock! we said screw it lets build it, we ordered upgraded rods and pistons!!!

I do this for a living. I hear two stories and find discrepancies. I don't think a cut and paste response would be advisable. I have no dog in this fight. However, as an advocate of fairness and justice, I hate to see things like this blow up on the forums, with such a one sided bashing and as I stated before, border line defamation.

You see that as a discrepancy and I read it as someone who A) doesn't speak English well and probably didn't represent the situation properly and B)didn't want to risk another OEM block. Always differing points of view.

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.

In for updates, and very skeptical on the veracity of the OP, sorry, pics do NOT tell the story. If this truly is the install from Forged, find a new line of work. If this is the OP's disaster pre-Forged, I smell fish.

As I read it, this is how the car left Forged and arrived at GTM? How could this be remotely something that the OP did on his own?

Seriously, posts like this are utterly inane.
