And last but not least. This is what happens when you buy the AMS lexan window kit and DO NOT screw them in place. You CAN NOT install these like regular windows. The rear is somewhere between Alabama and South Florida-LOL... It came out at 75mph and even had speed tape on it. I have decided to put the stock glass back in and am also reinstalling a new front glass. So people can also stop complaining about my car having lexan The 20# weight savings is no where near worth the trouble it has caused me..... So if anyone finds it you can keep it LOL....

Just a quick thank you to NLI/EPM and Todd for going above and beyond these past few weeks. It means alot to work with great people and also having new great friends. Many thanks....

I'd also like to thank everyone involved with their continued support. Without them none of this would be possible. Mike and Crispeed are now in charge and will finish off what needs to be done.

Thank you everyone:

I knew you'd have some good insight to my problem. Always gotta look at the bright side of things

NOW for the bad. We have hit a road block. I have a possible resolution in place, but have had a major let down. We finished the car today and it started right up All the fittings are the way I want, new boost controller, etc. But the mani is not cooperating with its peers Here are a few pics from today. I am getting ready to get on the road because the wife is insistant on going to the Drift competetion in Atlanta. I'll go more into detail when I return on Sunday...

Talked to Brian today and apparently the manifold did not get surfaced properly. In the haste and frenzy of the last few weeks with No Limit Industries having to reorganize and EPM breaking away from it's parent company. The Manifold surfacing did not go as had planned. Brian is sending me back the Manifold so that I an get the Machine shop to properly surface the flanges. It seems that the planets were Not in alignment, since the rear window blew out of the Evo on the way home, then the trailer apparently hit something where the Florida Tag was lost and the trailer lights are now not working. The Manifold was not surfaced the correct way. Sorry Brian but we will get the machine shop to correctly surface and deck the flanges properly this time around....Brian is itching to get the RS back to the track, it's just not the situation we all wanted. But things like this happen from time to time. EPM will make it right and the Manifold will be powering up soon.
