Ben, I would like to see the excuse forged comes up with. There are several projects and cars with similar instances and results of that I have been informed of. I have been told by sharif that they did no wrong and that Juan was just a dificult and bad customer.

wait so stuff like tire eating filters and such a sucky built is.... being difficult.

forged: oh sorry we blew up your car and it burned up.

customer:what the ****

forged: damn what a difficult customer

a difficult and bad customer who dented his own pipes, cut his own subframe, broke his own tail light, blew his engine ...

Those customers are difficult.

wow... 7 pages of people posting images and 0 updates from forged... hello decker@forged... you realize we know you are watching and not updating right? Thats almost worse than actually doing this hack job. I for one am not allowing these posts to take away anything from my impression of forged... I want to hear the whole story from both parties before I decide to never give a pretty reputable company my business...

With that said... the sooner you update this thread forged - the sooner people can get the whole deal and not speculate as we are doing here...

in decker's defense, he's been idle for like the past hour

370zdub · 04-09-2010, 06:02 PM

So...... guys.... how about those Bears?

Forged performance employees and sharif always told me the GTM kit was a bad quality kit and didn't fit!!! They pushed me to go with the Greddy kit saying it was a much better kit... So when did journal turbos become better than BB turbos? Also, when I recieved my GTM kit the parts and designs where amazingly beautiful! These pictures go to show they had NO idea what they were doing and that they bash one of their own suppliers... All of this just fits so nicely together showing us all what kind of business Forged Performance runs...

Isnt the purpose of building a engine stronger is for it NOT to blow up? I know **** happends but wtf is up with the intake rubbing on the tire.

I have known Sharif for a long time and know he is a good man. Sometimes as a Business owner you cant have 100% control over your employees and there actions. I am sure there is much more to this story. I am still a Loyal Forged Performance customer.

Being a good man doesn't justify these kind of business practices. Ohhh and btw sharif approved a majority of these modifications... He can't blame it on his employees... He is the captain of the forged performance ship and is responsible for every vehicle that leaves his shop! I for one would never ever ever let a build like that go on in my shop! I work on hi end race bikes with their electrical systems, data acquisition, camera systems and race prep/installs. Each bike is inspected and worked on like a jet fighter. Everything is accounted for and triple checked! I have never had a customer complaint that wasn't immediately addressed and fixed at ourcost not the customers!

1 year for an unfinished, horrible product is inexcusable

sorry i had to join to respond to this thread. most of you may not know me here but ive been in the g and z community for over 5 years now so i just wanted to chime in...

its kind of disappointing to see this many people willing to bash forged without hearing their side of the story. they have been around for way longer than many of you in this community. the joke has always been that if you live on the east coast, you take your car to sharif @ forged and if you're on the west, then you take it to sam @ gtm.

now before you call me a fanboy, im just trying to hear both sides. i remember when juan first posted his story almost a year ago and got run off the forums because of his poor english. im glad to see he has come back and presented a well laid out story that i hope sharif and forged can respond too. they have always been very professional even when being called out by other shops (now out of business) and their fanboys. 1 unhappy customer out of the HUNDREDs of satisfied ones isnt the end of the world. yes the pics definitely dont paint a good picture but lets just wait and see.

as for calling out decker, hes just an employee and im sure sharif will want to respond.
