^ That would be like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. Good luck trying to recoup your losses in a lawsuit. I looked into suing SGP after myself and others got screwed by Mark Gust, but he soon went out of business. It isn't worth the time, expense, or hassle to sue someone across state or international lines for getting screwed on a transaction that was $5000 or less.

Thats sorta strange. I've had nothing but good experiences from Z1 auto, but got MAJORLY dicked by Z1 motorsports on a transmission that Forged Performance ended up replacing a year later after it failed.

Go figure.

I wanna say the last time I order from them was about 6 months ago but it could have been maybe a bit longer i can't remember.

Because I allow it to be here... no matter what section we put this in, others will miss it. At least here he can't grab $20K+ from a member and not deliver.

It seems like this is the trend now with some shops because of the economy...
THIS^^^

I see a trend... if you live in NY or NJ, you get your stuff, if you live too far away to show up at the shop with a bat, you get nothing.

Wow, this guy is still at it! I seen these guys a few years ago at ZdayZ and they seemed pretty cool guys. Sucks to see members have to go through this type of madness!

I remember you saying this exact thing before. Z1 Motorsports replied saying for you to contact them as they had no record of such situation. Guess you would rather try to tarnish their fantastic reputation, rather than contact them as they eagerly hoped you would.

as a matter of fact forged ended up replacing the transmission I bought from z1 when it took a total **** less than a year after installation.
I have never heard of this issue. Can you please PM me your info? I would love to check into this.

I thought he was a good guy, and he had my recommendation prior to that but I mean whatever at this point. Just won't get me coming back again.
Don't remember talking to you on any fitment issue with your fenders. Definitely not of them fitting "horribly". Seibon takes care of all fitment issues directly, there is no need for a middle man in them. Me sending you to Seibon was not brushing you under the rug, it was doing things the correct way.

Sent you a PM!

Z1 had a bunch of credit card fraud issues late last year/early this year. Apparently, Z1 got ripped off for a bunch of merchandise through credit card scamming and Adam had to cover the business expenses himself. Not sure what's changed, but that's what I heard earlier in this year.

Just pointing out (with the recent bump) that this is NOT the same store as Z1 Motor Sports in Georgia.
