Friend flipped evo. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Chris I'm sure Matt already told you, and some of you that know Matt Jestin already know that he flipped his evo.

He was driving down some backroad in the valley, as he took a turn the ass end slid out and as soon as he caught traction it sent him up an enbankment and as it came back down the hill it flipped over and came to a stop upside down.

It's so sad that's it's gone, that thing was beautiful, 11 second car 400 something horse power, completely swapped out interior for evo IX leather Recaro interior.... etc...

Here are some before pics

After picture will come tomorrow night after I head to WC...

DAMN

is he alright?

SpoolinDSM · 08-22-2007, 12:27 AM

Yea he's fine, but the car is obviously toast lol He said insurance check comes in 2 weeks, he's looking to get another SRT-4

james_ls · 08-22-2007, 01:17 AM

Holy **** that sucks.

Glad I choose guardrail...that was my other option.

Glad to hear he's unharmed...that has to be INSANE (as well as something I hope I NEVER have to experience).

1gmfanatik · 08-22-2007, 01:28 AM

Damn, good that he's alright though

SovXietday · 08-22-2007, 01:53 AM

Damn, that's a shame. Glad he's ok though!

Cardriverx · 08-22-2007, 02:28 AM

I herd bout that. First thought was.. how the hell do you flip a evo..

06fg2 · 08-22-2007, 05:16 AM

I was there when it happened. I felt really bad because Matt was being the cautious driver. It sucks to see it all mangled, but atleast him and Carl walked away from it. He showed me pics last night of the SRT4 he's looking at getting...pretty nasty.

spoolindsm get us some pictures!! haha small world i m from the garnet valley area also. maybe i know you

markley02 · 08-22-2007, 08:31 AM

I personally haven't flipped my evo yet, It does seem like it is easy to do though. Almost every vid out there shows when an evo is sideways and it goes from pavement to grass that it flips over

This cracks me up...so he flips a turbocharged AWD car and thinks it would be as easy if not easier in a FWD turbocharged car?

Glad he is okay though

well duh, fwd and a huge spoiler is always easier

joeyt · 08-22-2007, 09:20 AM

Wow...that's a shame...beautiful car....At least he's OK

9 Ball · 08-22-2007, 09:26 AM

If you’re not careful the tail end of the car can get a bit “happy.” I’ve heard of this happening many times to other drivers. Glad he’s O.K.

Evo8kid · 08-22-2007, 09:51 AM

did the wing survive?

i hope he is ok, some people think awd means wet isnt a problem

Im2Slow · 08-22-2007, 10:01 AM

sorry to hear about his loss, looked to be a very nice car.

he had an srt-4 before the evo, it isn't like he just randomly decided to go from awd to fwd

good to hear the man can still walk.

but why the hell would he downgrade from an evo back to an srt4?

why not just get ANOTHER evo and not go cliff jumping with it?
