maybe he wanted to be different and stand out from all the boring "wow thats the 18th one like that i have seen at this show" if you cant be nice or constructive dont voice your opinion or slate someone for doing something to thier car that you dont like, thats the problem with this forum, there are too many people who will slate a car for being different

You obviously haven't been on any other forums that have people strong enough to voice their opinion.

It definatly sticks out. :rolleyes:
Im not slating it...
Just saying what I think. Maybe it isn't constructive critisism(sp) But I know if this was my car, id be expecting some people to be replying like this. :D
 
i have been on other forum's and yes a couple of them were worse than this one which is why i dont bother with them but all the owners forum (ludebehaviour-prelude, mondeao owners, volvoforum, vaux-owners, and clio owners) and non where as bad as this one for negative critisum, if you dont like it dont comment, to be honest i think thats why my thread has died because people just dont like the route i have gone with my cinq but honestly i dont care what people think, just dont tell me and i wont say what i think about your car

anyway getting away from the thread owners car abit here

personally its not something i would do but i do like how the overal car looks and the idea you have gone for and the wheels look the bizz

Got the eibach camber bolts yesterday... trickyish to fit on (if you don't frickin round the nuts off to get the old bolts off :mad:)
serious issue though, camber adjustment from where the eibach bolt is doing has given me crazy toe in... and i can't find anywhere that will do alignment on my car! LOL
trying Protyres tomorrow they said they can do it on the phone but we'll see... they said they use gauges that sit on the rim not on top of the tyre so here's hopin! it is so hard to drive right now...
anyways here's a vid of some fun a few days ago lol
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjp-4f0YPdo"]YouTube - 2nd and 3rd pull in mah tuned Puntoh 55S[/nomedia]
 
oh yeah my alignment was sorted yesterday... not by Protyres but by another place... Bobbys. protyres said try there cos they can align the fronts without need for guages on the back... even though the car had to be jacked to put the guages under the arch on the front lol!
man it feels SO nice and grippy now! i recommend the eibach bolts with max camber poss on them :devil: it ain't ALOT but it's nice camber. not as much as the rear naturally cambers...
 
i see you live in london, ever been to the ExCeL centre on a saturday night?

its right by city airport, when i used to go (about a month ago) people would go cruising up and down there...

would be cool to see the car in person :D
