lol wow, I hereby promise never to talk about GTM again. Just to clarify though I don't think any company is perfect and I do think GTM makes some nice stuff and that Sam is just trying to run a business in a tough economic time for the industry. I simply don't agree with some of the things "they" do. I also don't like some of the decisions they made with the s/c. Finally, my opinion of GTM has NOTHING to do with my opinion of Stillen so stop making it seem like it is...

So zDayz should be interesting, huh? I mean, the Forged crew will be there with all this drama fresh on everyone's minds. It'll be like there's an 800-lb gorilla in the room.

If the OP and Sharif see each other, this might just be the result

And what is your agenda? What experience do you have with any shop on this forum? What is the reason for your posts? And are you coming to ZDayz? I would love to meet you.

I had a conversation with a few people attending about this. The general consensus is if you have questions, ask them. If not, don't. Either way, enjoy your car, the fellowship and the mountain roads!

Wow, to the OP man I am very sorry for your ordeal I know how it feels to make payments and have to wait on the car as you pray that the shop gets it right. To everyone flaming him for posting because he has an ongoing legal matter first off, the facts don't change, unless he defamed Forged by posting incorrect facts I don't see how this could hurt him. Sure most attorneys including this law student wouldn't want it out in the open but if Forged is smart they should settled and not go to trial. Trials air out everyone's dirty laundry and parties usually want to avoid that hence less than 4% of civil cases go to trial.

Forged, man look I've never dealt with them but the pictures of those downpipes is really troubling as well as the numerous "its normal" responses. I know they have been a pretty active poster/vendor on here but then again so was Spawn once a time, just goes to show that picking a shop should not be done lightly.

IBTL and yeah this should be locked the OP brought us the story and this issue goes way beyond our trivial opinions, damn I wish I was at zdayz its going to be funny!

At this rate we're never going to get a real world review of the GTM supercharger kit, this sucks, no matter if forged is at fault or not they have created doubt in the market for 370z owners going F.I. Looks like other than bullit no one is willing (which makes sense) to bite the bullet by trial and error, btw bullit where does the project stand? I commend you for painfully trekking where no Z34 owner has gone before.

I think it's time to LOCK this one down. Thanks everyone for your input. OP, I wish you good luck and you're more than welcome to keep us posted after the trial/verdict.

Thanks
