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.

Subscribed! fascinating thread. If Forged is that bad, I can't imagine how they'd be in business one year after this alleged incident. 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.

I have several sources in and around forged performance who could verify this story. Being local helps in knowing what is going on and the players involved. This is a car out of forged performance they are the only ones who attempted to install this kit and the car was sent to GTM to fix the problems! 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.

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.

I've logged tons of track miles for decades. Never saw a car like that

and never want to!

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.

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

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

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!!!
