I wasn't sure at first, but now i can't imagine the car without it! It's part of the character of the car I guess

Thanks mate, good eh? I'm saving a bit of money up at the moment, to treat them to a refurb

Thought I might also add that I've got a DET3, astra 1.6 injector, new fuel pump, and a better cam waiting to go in too! Then I'm off to the dyno....

She's dead, and i'm heartbroken.

Coming home last night, coming off of a dual carriageway, I hit a patch of black ice. The car slammed into a ditch and bounced back out.

The car isn't fixable, but i've already bought another cinq to salvage what I can from this (including the engine).

Anyway, I'm not giving up on my car, I will avenge it!

I'll get a pic tomorrow, it really isn't pretty.

 

[fingers99]

Still, you're in one piece.

 

[blu73]

NNNNOOOOOoooooo! Such bad news, she was such a nice cinq!

Hope you are ok mate!

 

[Razman]

Cuts, bruises, a few torn muscles but nothing more.

It's almost like someones died. None of the paramedics or police officers could understand why I was so bothered about a, quite clearly, written off hatchback.

It's hard, but I can't dwell on it. Look on the bright side, the second build is, by default, always better than the first!

So yeah, i've already bought another!

 

[Sir16v]

oh no,least driver is one piece! next is always better,grab what you can,if needbe an extra pair of hands here to help get it along sooner than planned!

sorry to hear that mate. I was down Retford today, some nice lanes down there.

Did you buy your car from a guy called Mark near oxford?

 

[The Black Box]

Gutted for you. next build will definately be better

Yeah, it's lovely round here, very hilly

No sorry mate, it was from Ashton under Lynne, near Manchester.

And thanks rob, yes too true, the next build is always better. It's a red cinq, I've always wanted a red one I'm picking it up tomorrow, I'll stick a thread up with some pics tomorrow.

On Sunday im stripping the cinq, to save all the parts, including the engine, for the red one. While the engine is out, I'm fitting my uno 45 inlet, newman fast road cam, and spesso head gasket.

The new car will be much better, much tidier too I hope, as my black one was never very tidy.

fact... red cars are faster... its a true story.

That's the plan mate, my second build will be miles better than the first for sure.

I owe that much to my old car!

 

[hame41]

Metal is replaceable,You are not! Glad you're alright and the next one will be top job!

 

[blu73]

Well, this one is............

yes, but only cause its red lol

 

[jatkinson]

But blue cars are faster ... Fact!

 

[Young Efficient]

My car used to have colour, but it was soo fast the colour fell off. So surely white cars are the fastest.

I'll put one up tomorrow, that's when I start stripping it.

In other news, I picked up my "new" cinq today. I love it, and its many, many flaws.
