My car is @ Sharif's now getting a built motor installed and tuning. I live in FL and made the trip to Sharif twice to have work done. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of places here in FL, but he is still that much better that it's worth the drive. He is honest and a perfectionist. What more can you ask for. You can't go wrong with Sharif!

Hello Sharif - Car Transporters
Sharif
I bet there could be a boom in new business, if you found a commercial
car transporter that would Pick up and Deliver cars with "Care"
Like the guy in Texas said - "Too busy to drive it..." But pick up and return
would Would be a great service.
Cheers Amy

I am considering having Sharif from forgedinternals do the first major mods to my Z (taking the FI plunge) and wanted to see what the general feeling was from people that have gone to him. I have searched some and don't see any negative posts so that is comforting.
I would also be interested to hear what kind of work and numbers you guys have gotten from his shop.
I have a 2003 Daytona Blue Z with only a few minor things done; UR 3 Pulley Set, B&M Short Throw Shifter, Nismo CAI, Wheels and tires, replaced the front reflectors, LED 350 sills, and some radio work.
Looking to spend no more than 15 grand, and this is the work we are haggling over
-Greddy TT w/Intercooler, BOV, Return Fuel System, UTEC
-APS 3" Exhaust and APS Test Pipes
-Turbo Timer, 3 Gauge A Pillar and the 3 Gauges for it
-Possibly a JWT Clutch/Flywheel combo
-All the install work and tuning
We are looking at ending up just a shade over 400whp.
Thoughts? Feedback? Suggestions? I am looking at driving up from Central Florida to him (470ish miles) so just want to make sure I have done all my homework!
Thanks! -Craig

FYI, aps 3.5" test pipes won't bolt on greddy TT, you should go with AAM test pipes & exhaust

The main reason that Sharif is so successful is because he loves what he does and his customer service is one of his main priorities. So many shops can learn from Sharif's business ethics; he offers excellent support for what he sells, he guarantees his work, he is extremely organized and he has acquired a ton of knowledge regarding anything that he supplies. If I lived in GA, Sharif and I would have to open a shop together and supply the world with any and all 350z and g35 mods!!!
Keep up the good work Sharif, thanks for all of your support!

We actually have quite a few Floridians that make the trip. In fact, 90% of our project cars are from out of state. From New York all the way to Florida, and as far away as Texas. The first thing visitors notice at the shop, is all of the out-of-state plates.

All I can say is it's worth the trip. When I was there a few months ago, Sharif took almost a hour out of his busy day to help me figurer out which parts I needed.To make a long story short, I will be doing my upgrades in October.

Sharif tuned and managed my Greddy TT install by CP Racing while had a working partnership with them. Excellent tune and the car runs great with 6000 miles on the kit. His new shop is now working on my short block.
Bottom line with Sharif is he provides excellent service and knowledge. You're in good hands.

I first went to him in 07/2005 when he was in Charlotte NC for a Cusco LSD to be installed and I knew he was good people.
Been going to him ever since, and it has always been a complete pleasure to do business with him

That would be so nice if he could do that
(specially if he could make it a complementary service, lol j/k. I think he would go broke if he did that)
