am dreadin me mot this year though all sorts were wrong with the car last year. am not going to speak of them cause its a bit crasy the amount it cost me but it was worth it
 
Serin's post on another thread has reminded me that the boot line on my car is out, probably from a prang in morrisons car park, but it weren't there when i got it. :(
 
Ok the Cinq;

The Recaro's in the front need re-trimmed, have fabric just not got round to putting them in somewhere. Need to fit the Mintex M1144 pads to replace the Halfrauds one I fitted when doing the GT brake conversion. It heat shield on the exhaust sometimes rattles when pulling away. My handbrake is ace, tho I have 2 new rear cylinders I'm going to fit because the bleed nipples are rusted up and they are only £4 each from Halfrauds, may fit new drums and shoes at same time.

The integrale;

It doesn't like being left idle so after collected it from Bournemouth where it had sat for a month the alternator decided to go and Halfrauds don't list one so got a mate sourcing me a brand new uprated Bosche one, 90Amps rather than 60 should be good! Again electrics front indicator decided not to work even tho bulb fine, and rear lights sometimes decide to not work, dirty earth I think in both cases, italain electrics don't you just love 'em! Fit the new door cards to go with the amazing hi-back leather Recaro interior I just fitted whic halso eed to be cleaned and conditioned!

how many people on here actually own sx and s cinqs rather than the sporting versions. i would really like to know this.
 
...annoying squeek on cold start up, and on revs, possible dodgy alternator or belt slipping...

Tiny rip in drivers front seat ( soon to be sorted by new interior)
Vibrations with new alloys

Poppy coral empty :D

Turbo broken or not connected or just plain missing.

Damn you Aaron, everytime I close my eyes I see your DV and I want one!!!

Yes the newly fitted Spec R piston dump valve is rather nice sounds great too(thanks Jamie I promise to give back whenver you need it ;) ), I should have shown you the Le Mans Piston dump vavle that was sitting in the door to further entice you!

you sure its an S, and not a SX with the X taken off :p

lol i hasnt got either at the minute, had to replace it with a lime green tailgate...
might put a sporting badge on so im one of the cool crowd :p
 
Fuel consumption p*ss-poor
Scraping noise from back wheels when cornering - worn bearings methinks
STILL haven't got the proper gearlever gaiter for my GT centre console
Windscreen still cracked (now hidden with a black sunstrip!)
Water pump starting to get noisy... AGAIN
Crossover (mounted behind a perspex panel in rear trim) has fallen off into the inner wing

I'd do a similar list for the Capri but it'd take all day, so the words "knackered rusty bodywork" will suffice :eek:
