05 Mar 2003

The Extreme's have always been a 3rd party company independent of

See i told y'all to have faith in , like many other people did when they said that if the engine were to be the same size, the hp count would be higher...Man...if this one doesn't come to the US, i know a lot of people will be importing them and since the VIII is legally sold in the US, it would probably be easier to legalize it. Anyone care to say if that would be the case??

xtreme is the old 'Ralliart UK', they changed their name for some reason. I believe most of the parts they used to upgrade their Evos are directly available through either xtreme or coordsport. Would need someone knowledgeable to do the installing though.

They changed their name due to some legal issues....Mitsu/Ralliart was not pleased with their business practice...so their axed the Ralliart UK division
