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

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!

I have seen quite a few but they were mainly cars built on a budget and on redneck ingenuity

lol I forgot you were in GA

I swear up here you couldn't get into a demo derby without a full inspection

I feel so bad for this guy. This is sad, in this economy reputation can really be a deal sealer or breaker. It looks so bad from the pics. GTM needs to be the third party or mediator if this is what they received from forged. This is enough bad publicity that I would never trust them with my car, and until there is some real defense Juan has a real case and should definitely start to pursue some resurrection legally.

Well, let's not go crazy. I'm sure anything would be an improvement to that.

Haha TRUE

Thanks for the thorough reply Sharif!

IBTL

My question would be, how did that car leave the shop in that condition? Sure, the employees have been terminated, but that should have been patched up long before the car left.

vipor · 04-09-2010, 08:41 PM

My understanding from his reply was that the customer requested to take the car from the shop, even "stole" it initially before talking to them.

I Only have one Question! at 1,500 miles, why didnt this motor get more break in time?

Sounds like the OP was in a big hurry to be the first TT

Please don't stir that pot. Turbos and SCs have been installed with much less miles.
