Default Big Thanks to Sharif@Forged

Not sure if your sick of getting praise on here, but I just wanted to post up my thanks and appreciation to Sharif for all his help and advice on supplying me with all my internals, fuel system, exhaust etc etc to make my build happen.

Engine is hopefully going on the engine dyno tomorrow for run-in and tune.

My guy thanks you for the base map you sent for the UTEC, as well.

For all that dont know me, I live in the UK and am currently turning my APS TT car into something a bit more serious.

Hoping for 500WHP initially, no doubt I'll be going for more later down the road.

If anyone out there is wondering if all the hype is true about service and helpfulness from Sharif and his team, well I can honestly say that the level of customer service is second to none. Companies dealing with the UK are sometimes not keen, due to payment worries and shipping costs etc, but not a problem with anything.

I would post up some engine build pics, but I cant use an image hosting site from the works network (im offshore for 3 more weeks) so if anyone is interested in posting for me, I would love to share.

Thanks again.

Sharif needs to start a world tour considering his mass popularity in the Z community. Next stop..... Austin TX.

Only thing I've had done on the top end is the exhaust valves changed out for the Ferrea items. Plenum has come out good, yeah. Hopefully get some good news about it firing back into life any day now.

Engine parts as follows:

Pauter Rods
Arias ED 9.0:1 pistons
Ferrea exhaust valves
ARP stud kit
ARP L19 Headstuds
Cosworth Gaskets
Nismo custom spec Bearings
Crank regrind

I think this Sharif guy gets waaaay too much credit; Devon and Valerie do all the work. (j/k of course).

Good luck with the build.

Get your story straight Ron...its Devon, CHRIS, and Valerie...that do all the work for me. haha Even my Rott name Caesar answers the phone from time to time.

Baptist, it was a pleasure helping you with your buildup. I know that it can be difficult for overseas customers to obtain service and parts from other countries...glad you were pleased.

Keep us posted...the buildup looks terrific. Those guy working on your car are real bright guys.

Ive got some good brakes to keep help me slow down, but keeping the foot off the loud pedal will be the tricky part!

I'll most probably be at you for some more parts in the near future, Sharif.
