The pictures speak for them selfs. Not for the weak stomach.

So sorry to see something like that happen. I wish you the best of luck getting this properly rectified and a horrible fiery death to those who were so negligent and disrespectful towards your vehicle.

Wow, I feel sick to my stomach when reading that!

I've experienced almost the same on my build (except on a smaller scale budget). It took 10 months when told it would only took a couple; the owner sorting any kind of excuses for the delay; employees quiting the shop; told me the car was ready and when I came to grab her, felt like she wasn't running as expected. Right after the car was tuned and ran great, the shop has closed for bankruptcy. Then, like a month after, major oil leak where the oil pump sits happened (gasket)! Called the guy and he said he would check it on next spring: never heard of him again.... I paid another garage to fix the leaks (camshaft seals and crank seal (trans side) aswell).The pump has been screwed too harshly and the gasket has splitted...

Not tryin to highjack your thread, just wanted you to know that I feel your pain and frustration!!!!

Am still reading the comments other members have posted on the site about their experience with FP (most of em are negative, couple are positive) and the thing that comes to my mind is you won't know someone's personality until something goes wrong... When everything's ok, nothing to complain about.

ams maf sensors
t1 fuel rails and id2000cc injectors
update cobb to nis006
walbro 255 fuel pumps (not sure why this was not done on my last turbo upgrade done by forged)
os giken rear differential
dodson stage 1 upgrades (no clutch, no gears. Just small pieces)
complete fluid change
all associated labor
tuning

total price tag for the above and a 6 month install $33,931.85.

...what!?

my previous invoices for the bolt ons, willall clutches and fasteners, transmission cooler, brakes, and sway bars was $38,107.23. Granted there were some parts that were not power related, but this makes the running total $72,039.08 paid to forged at this time with no engine or significant transmission upgrades (no gears and no major clutch upgrade).

...WHAT!?

Edit: I'm going to start my own performance shop and bill 1000$ for installing pinetree airfreshners

Read the whole thing, as well as the thread on 350Z that was posted as well... Thats a crime

[krystalized_jdm]

[mexi193]

I read this whole thing it horrible I can't imaging how that feels I was mad about some shitty welds on my ic piping and the fact that my blow off wasn't installed and they started doing pulls on the dyno. And in know way does it compare too this !

[bellis_GTR]

Painful to just read...

i was not able to read all of this just makes me sad, Ive been ****** over by a shop as well and its not a good feeling. You give ppl your hard earned money to watch them burn it and then tell you they need more to fix the problems they created. Good luck
