matt1122 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) It was a bit ugly anywayLies, that car is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. It was here in York at a dealership during their open house or something earlier this year, and man... I want that car. But with an engine in it! THAT WORKS.

Guest Guest_powersstuntworx_* Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey guys I'm Matt Powers Evolve promised me a perfect car in every way " THE HOTTIEST VOLVO ON THE PLANET" As per Don owner of Evolve cars. I waited a 1 1/2 for my R to come back, I have over 35K in this build. Flat out they blew my car up, put 4000 miles on it put a big dent in the fender trashed my carpet, trashed the rims, calipers I also payed to have the body kit re-painted, that was trashed, they broke my center consel. Put it this way THE CAR IS TRASHED!!!!!!!! Now they are telling me basicly to get subdue.Before someone replys, put yourself in my shoes.They get all the good PR from the Mags and I get a pile of crap!!!! Before you buy anything from this company ( Evolvecars ) remember what happend to me:(They will not even answer my emails.I do have pix's that I will be posting through out the next couple of weeks. Also on SSThanksMatt Powerswww.powersstuntworx.comI also never signed any kind of release for the mags to drive my carhttp://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m42/pow...kedupcar007.jpgThis pix was the oil from my trans the metal pins fell out as well.Sorry guys I'm not the best speller :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEXC Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hard to believe that they would return the car to you in that state. Looks like you need to start all over again. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hard to believe that they would return the car to you in that state. Looks like you need to start all over again. And it looks like they should be buying that car for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAydAy Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Why am I not surprised something from Evolve would turn out like this?Its amazing how someone like that can corner the market and then screw around making all sorts of empty promises and take any number of shortcuts and still clear huge amounts of money. Reminds me of another company, I think they're called "VMS" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) if thats where you stand then you need to take a stronger legal stance...you have a fairly strong case IMHO as long as you can prove they promised you a perfect car and the condition was worse than when you gave it to themnot to mention the mag flogged the car (even admited to it in the test):::NICE EDIT WHOEVER:::: ;) Edited January 23, 2007 by Mesoam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheshadows Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 A company has to stand by it's product. They should give you a new car and your money back, or fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 T5R Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) i am glad to see the WHOLE story finially being told on the car. i am the tech at the dealer that has the car all apart. Matt is a great guy and got screwed. i hope that there are lessons to be learned here. i was personally baffled with the workmanship on this car. the pics dont even come close to doing justice. there are so many flaws and questionable areas. as soon as matt brought me the car (30 miles after getting it back from evolve) there was a bad oil leak. and terriable performance. we found the oil leak to be a bad weld on the fab'd turbo drain. and the performance was a evolve mystery. we traced the wiring for the piggyback system. still lacked performance. then when he came back a few hundred miles later it was spitting coolant everywhere. we thought a head gasket. but after pulling the head ......... well u saw the pics.and thats where it ends. and thats just the motor issues. not to mention the trans oil that looked like silver paint. or the wheels that rub the calipers. or the piggyback wiring. or the carpet. and so on and so on. i am not here to bash evolve but rather to add some facts to the story. it is my hope that evolve steps up and stands behind this car. it could be a great car. Matt, i hope i didnt step on your toes by telling the story as i did. u deserve to get a great car.personally i have alot of questions abou this car and some of these unique problems with it. like the oil leak when it got here ? why is a weld on a turbo drain leaking after 4000 miles of testing ?? there is no way it was leaking that bad when magazines tested it. just leaves me with some questions in my head.

They should give you a new car and your money back, or fix it.+1i have said either take the car back to cali and evolve fix it properly for free and make it right in a timely manner. or buy the car from matt. give him the money he has invested in it + the value of the car + some PITA money. then matt can build another R.
