An EvoM member by the screen name of ace75 has asked to buy two pans. That means he only needs one more for an order. Feel free to contact him. If it works out, let me know and I'll forward your info to the guy that makes these. If anyone that has bought one can chime in, that would be nice.
Again: I make no money off these, in fact it cost me $20-40 per order, but I don't mind helping.

To be honest, I'm not sure if Matt is willing to do any more. He had a pan come back with concerns from a buyer. He took everything apart and it turned out to be normal stuff (I.E. new hinges that were stiff), so no big deal.. but I think it kinda discouraged him from doing more, in case it happened again.
He was making the pans as a favor to me: he did NOT really want to. So, it wouldn't take much for him to be like, "forget it".
On my end, it takes 20mins of freeway driving, each way, then I use my boxes, my packing material, and my money to ship the pans out. So.. I don't mind him quitting either LOL.
I recently e-mailed him with an order of three and didn't get a reply. I'm kinda taking that as a hint. If those three guys are still interested and you are a fourth, I can ask again, but I can't make any promises.
It's a shame, because those of us that got them think they are pretty bad ***.

Update on oil pressures:
June 23, 2018 HPDE with NASA @ Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Weather info = 101*. Oil = 5w40. Tires = 235 Hankook R-S4.
While doing 85-90mph around Riverside, Oil pressure gauge a needle-width away from touching the 100psi mark, not quite on it. Temp was right around 250-260* at that time. This was 15mins into a 20min session. The extra 2.5qts and trap doors are amazing.
If anyone that tracks their car is considering an aftermarket oil pain, I say, "yes, yes! YES!". It's 100% worth it!
