just kidding, bro... sharif IS the man... ALL of the guys at Forged are top notch...

 

glad to see you finally got that tune Jon. What were your final numbers?

 

wait, the AAM thread is gone... where did it go and WHY?

 

I stopped by z1 once... I wanted to take look at the place and wile I’m there get a baseline pull. They could not even do that for my car right due to the faulty dyno. After spending a few hours there I will say that they did not impress me at all. Maybe back in the z32 days they were top dawgs, but right now it does not look that way.

With that said, I believe that Z1 has a lot of potential, and the facility is very nice. Maybe they need to work out some bugs in the system, change a few things, and come back strong as ever.

Bottom line is that we trust guys like Z1 with our very special cars, and we pay very good money for service. So in return we always should get 110%.

 

i was about to ask that same question... if this is true, this is a sad state of affairs for my350z.com... i know that i will not be purchasing another premiere membership when mine is up... too much bias towards bad vendors floating around this site amongst the mods and admins...

 

well i just hope to see a thread by the OP saying that AAm made things right for him in the end... hopefully

 

i dont know why but all i can think of after this post is adams family pinball when it goes GREEEED!

 

AAM complains to mods and they dont just close their bad posts they delete them-which is an injustice to the community. Ive seen that happen 3-4X in the past year with AAM....

 

mods and admins shouldn't be putting vendors/sponsers ahead of is members. That pretty sh**ty if true. Premiere members pay money for the operation of this site too. IMO we shouldn't take a back seat to sponsors, especially when censorship of the facts only hurts the community's knowledge.

 

complete injustice... and if you think about it, they're (my350z.com) doing this because they get paid large sums of money by AAM (one of the biggest sponsors here)... i wonder if any of the monies paid to my350z.com are actually monies ripped off from their clients... i'd say it pretty much has to be... the irony of that one boggles the mind...

 

the AAM thread was removed by request of the OP

 

that eases my mind a bit... still doesn't change the other fact i presented... thanks, doug...

 

In the long run..of coarse its profit made from members from this site . Lots of guys got ripped by AAM from my350Z , G35Driver , 350Motoring , G35Feinzy , all the sites and the guys that bought parts from and had work done at thier shop . Im sure not every one was had by them . But it sure seems like they took advantage any where they had the opportunity to.

 

much like fallenromeo with VRT. when they hold your money you have to play ball until you get compensated. then blast the **** out of them.

 

Threads like these just don't last long. They get locked, or the vendor contacts the OP and requests it be deleted while promising some sort of compensation. While some will say otherwise, online revenue is big business for these guys. Plain and simple. And yes, a bad rap on a forum with 100's or even 1000's of members can hurt business. But it is what it is. The best thing to do before going ANYWHERE is search the forums, BBB records, and ask around in your regional forum / specialty forum before dropping your car and money off at a shop.

I learned this the hard way like so many others. But hopefully somebody gets a chance to read this post / thread before somebody else gets hosed...

 

I just got off the phone with Russell and he seems to be a good guy. He did apologize and explained to me in detail the reasons he was unable to speak with me until now. He wants me to bring the car back and we are going to sit down and address all the issues I have with the work they have done so far. He said they will retune the car and get it right at no cost to me.

Personally I feel the car was just not a priority before and it was rushed at the last minute and poor quality was the result. I think they are going to do what they can to make it right. I will drop the car off ether tomorrow or Monday and Russell said it will have top priority.

I will keep you guys posted. Hopefully this thread does not get closed before I get the final results.

 

looks like this is what has happent here ! post #56....

 

I can't believe your going back to them after all this crap. I say suck it up and take it to Forged. Be smart. Even though you'll pay him, but it will be right and no worries when it comes to sell to another. They can't tune cars and never will. I'm surprised he responded to this thread. Only has 7 post and has been a member since 04, sponser also.LOL.

 

You might be right, but I hope you are wrong. I am going to give them one last chance.

 

show them the VRT threads... it makes a clear point what happens when bad shops try to rip-off customers
