He should have just brought it to local high school auto shop and hell they probably would have done a better job than Forged Performance. SMFDH

I've seen multiple threads on multiple sites complaining about that shop. Always doublecheck the work a shop does before you take delivery.

I think it wasn't really 250k I think he had a lot of parts etc, but he gave the shop 250k in business in general

either way

If i were the shop owner id make it right for free

Should have went to Tony at T1! Forged Performance is a terrible shop I wouldn't trust them to rotate my tires.

because they thought Racecar. Also, while I've forgotten most of what I learned from my auto-tech class, I could still do a better job than that.
