*Official* NILS Engine Rebuild Donation Poll

Just like the title says.

I will show a few options of how much you would like to donate to his cause. Goal is to get enough to have his bottom end rebuilt. 2.3L stroker AMS or something. ~1000ppl @ $5 = $5k. Something like that. This poll is just to stimulate interest and see if we can help a fellow evo enthusiast out.

Everyone can see everyone's vote. Come on guys, we can do this.

EDIT: Yes, money is tight for many many many people due to economy and job security, so savings is crucial. So donate if you can. Don't if you absolutely can't.

Please paypal your donation to paypal@amsperformance.com

Everybody is tight on money right now....but I would donate $5. Nils is a great guy and I would hate to see him sell his ride.

AMS is already taking donations for Nils.

I've always wondered how many people would actually donate to a cause like this i remember Jake Montgomery had something like this for his DSM a while back.

$5 aint so bad in the big scheme of things.

What has Nils done to deserve a charity. Does he give joy rides to the Make A Wish kids? Does he volenteer for the community? Tell us a little about a stand up guy, and I have no problem donating.

Bahhh...just vote anyway.

If you wish to donate, GREAT. If you want to find a reason other than just to be generous to another evo memeber then dont. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. This is just a chance to help someone who needs help and cant afford it at the moment.


Please paypal your donation to paypal@amsperformance.com

Please guys if you choose not to make a donation, that's fine and no one will think any less of you. But please don't make a post that just says your not going to donate.

Thanks,
Eric Jones

^ agreed

Please read our thread about the cause and Nil's for sale thread it outlines what he has gone through in the past few months, Nils is a stand up guy and he has lended countless hours of advice to new and old Evo members. I can't count how many people I have talked to that said he was the reason they gave road racing a shot.

I do agree which is why I do so much to benefit the community such as helping out new members, product reviews, product comparisons, etc.
