I realize that old hands will know that I state the obvious here, but I continue from time to time to discover new hands who are not familiar with Evilution.

A year's subscription will cost me less than it does to simply drive into an MB service line. I have not the slightest doubt but that my use of Evilution since I purchased little Munchkin two years ago has provided me more technical info and just good hints with each visit than I have received from MB altogether.

In my opinion Evilution and this forum are a sine qua non for you new smart owners, as it is with us with more experience with them.

PS: Apparently dollar going up. Now only $16.56.

 

I've owned my smart for just a few days, and paid a subscription to Evilution, as well as SCOA, the day I brought it home. The mass amount of information is worth WAY more than what I've paid!

 

Done .... Thanks Stretch

 

Well worth the $16.56 to keep the site up and running. If you think your North American 451 should have an engine temp display and tell what gear you're really in while in "D" you can find out how to update (actually backdate) your instrument display right now.

 

I assume the post you're referring to is this one?

My ultra gauge is coming..i'll leave my stock speedo right where it is...with the exception of maybe changing the LEDs..

Great site!

Great site!

It's the supreme tool for everything smart from the tiny city coupe to even the forfour.

Well worth the investment.

 

I just subscribed - best investment you could make if you want to be able to maintain your smart yourself.

 

I agree. Cheap for all the info you get.

now an Evilution member

 

Thanks Stretch...
Kane's price for admission is more than worth the price.

 

Thanks Stretch...well worth the 10 bob

 

No doubt about it. it is well worth the price

 

Thanks so much for the support guys.
After leaving my ex and having to fund a house on my own I found I had no money to do the site and it was driving me crazy.

After a few chats with fellow owners they suggested making it a paid site.

I'm glad I did, it has allowed me to continue my hobby and further the help I can give to people. Overall it has been a massive success, more than I ever imagined.

I've had a few negative people but you can't please everyone, you'll always get some people who want everything for nothing. Regardless of how much they save themselves by using my site, they are too tight to pay for the privilege.
Only 1 of the 4 was from the US, it said "thanks for locking down the site, dick, I hope you don't make a dime". The annoying thing is, the 2 offensive emailers hide behind fake emails like immature kids.

Well, he is sort of right, I haven't made a dime, it comes through in Great British Pounds.

So, again, thanks very much for the support, it's very much appreciated. I'm glad to be able to carry on doing what I have been for the 9 years before.

 

 

I don't use the site much but when I need it, I'm glad it is there. Happy to support a quality site!

 

Information should be free. That's my stance on the subject. Now if you were to personally come over and help me perform the tasks on my car, THEN I'd pay your single ass.

P.S.- Sorry you're newly single.

A lot of information *is* free. Running a web site.. isn't.

 

Kane said it best, "I've had a few negative people but you can't please everyone, you'll always get some people who want everything for nothing."

Lots of hard work went into making Evilution probably the most complete how-to resource in the smart world.
Here's to the 9 year FREE TRIAL! :cheers:

 

Lets not forget this is a pay site to get to the good info...... Just say'n

 

I'm new to Smart ownership and just became a member of Evilution and want to thank Kane for all the time and effort that he's put into helping out fellow Smart owners find their way too DIY. It's a small price to pay for such invaluable info.

Thanks again.

 

For the value of information I have obtained off his website- he has every good reason to charge for it. His information and an Alltrade subscription= big money saved.

 

If I ever DO subscribe to Evilution....

I'll be printing all the guides to PDF files for future reference. I SHOULD NOT have to pay for an annual "membership" to information that SHOULD BE FREELY SHARED AMONGST THE COMMUNITY!!!

Where is your free computer repair shop? I have a laptop that has issues.

 

Just a rhetorical question, but I wonder if Kane has any info about uncommanded ragtop opening? :wink:

 

I'll gladly pay for such great resource. It's invaluable.


I'll be there for you Kane.

cheers...

 

I have done nothing to violate the Terms Of Service. Simply stating my opinions is not a violation of this website.

Do me a favor and go READ the TOS again, it will become clear that this site is here to discuss opinions about these cars and the information about them.

I've simply stated my opinions. :wink: I'm sorry you don't agree with them.

Now, did you need a hug and a kiss on the forehead?

 

Where is your website with easy to follow instructions for common issues complete with screen shots? Comparisons of various software, hardware, add-ons? Where do you sell the programs that you have designed yourself? Contact info so I can tell you my specific problem and you can talk me through it?

 

Cool it down, guys. Kane's trying to help, don't undermine his efforts. :wink:

I just subscribed to Evilution. I had made a donation a couple of years back, and haven't needed his help for a while - but it feels good to do something altruistic once in a while. Sooner or later, though, the info Kane has put together through his own experience and expertise will be called upon. Thanks, Kane!
