It has been another 2-3 months and I have not seen anyone post that they have theirs.

Anyone hear anything positive?

 

i havent ever heard any good comments about them. to many 'i payed and never got a car' or 'i got my car, but cant drive it because they lied' cases.

 

So does Celm or anyone else who gave EI money actually have an EVOVII in their hands? Or are they still being held by EI?

 

Bump!

Hasn't anyone actually gone to EI? If they have any offices in that area of Orlando, I can't imagine why it would be so hard to track them down...

 

That would be a big IF. According to the last post in this thread at another forum, http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t101576.html, Adam Burdette actually works out of his house.

 

That's pretty common with imported cars. Japan's VIN system is not the same as the US VIN system, and ebay's VIN field isn't compatable.

 

I believe Evolution Imports address is the following

309 Rachelle Ave #634
Sanford, FL 32771

How did you find out their address ? they only use a PO BOX ???

 

Perhaps he found it here. When you register as a business in FL, you're prohibited from supplying a P.O. Box number as your address. Frequently, though, the street address supplied ends up being a 3rd party business services company (like Mail Boxes Etc) that collects mail from all the various "suites" at that address and forwards it to "real" street addresses or P.O. Boxes elsewhere.

 

whats going on with this ****? they ever gonna deliver?

 

Anything new on this?

 

Yeah, apparently Adam is now stripping cars into parts and selling them to his customers. He can't deliver federalized versions of the Evo so must resort to suspect tactics.

 

I think you might be looking at this from the wrong angle. I know that EI has had problems they have hit road blocks but they have not given up. From talking with G&K the people who is doing the work for EI they said that they are getting ready to Xray the Evo VII, VIII and american VIII. G&K feel that this will remedy most of the problems that they are currently having. I have talked with EI about selling cars as parts. I know that they do purchase cars out of japan, and then break them down into major parts and then sell those parts off to customers. This is not an uncommon practice; it is just not a very reliable one, due to the high costs and logistics involved with the procedure. From a lot of research that has been done on this topic it is not illegal at least not on the federal level. Different states have different guidlines on what they will and will not allow under the self manufacturer guidlines. There are also many company's who partake in this. Company's such as super performance with their shelby cobra's, factory Five with their different models and even imports such as noble. If Evolution Imports is doing this it just might be the opportunity that some are looking for in order to get those truly hard to find vehicles . Just my own thoughts on the matter.

 

superformance is a kit car and is put together, then titled as a kit car..... a dismantled Evo VII, then reassembled is still an Evo VII...... which is illegal.... not too many states (unless they are very lenient) will not accept an Evo as a kit car... you can clearly see it is a manufactured car....

EI ROCKS! It has only been 4 years since the original people slapped out $30k.... wonder if they ever got any of the $ back?

 

sooooooooooooooo... has anyone bought an evo VII from evolution imports, recieved the car, and had it be street legal?
