Wow.

I've quite liked this car in a few of its guises, but I really don't like it now. A step (or ten) too far IMO.

Time to open up a gargantuan can of worms here...

Someone mentioned a lot earlier in the thread that while to some of you, eat your dinner off it mint cars are the only way of modifying them, others look for character.

I've yet to find more character in a modified car than this one:


Mike rebuilt this car several times and I doubt there will EVER be another 5 series like it (save all the "And with good reason!" comments chaps). Read the frankly massive build thread and you'll see why and how it ended up like this! http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t...

Put simply, it looks hard as nails.
Oh dear.

Absolutely - the roof took it from 'way out BMW' to 'Custom Hot Rod' and the Stancing is st - upto that point I thought it was amazing (tho the Japanese engine is an odd touch - the coolant pipes coming out of one headlight was a 'Borg' look I quite liked too!) smile

Not quite sure if this looks decently enough to be in here, but the performance of it most certainly will:

779bhp @ 686lb/ft MR2:

Well it has the go for the show thats for sure!

However why go to all that trouble and fit a crap fog light, would it be too hard to mod one of the rear lights?

I see, I thought it was because Kia made a good car but in the eyes of the poster, they could not promote it - or that the poster was a badge snob. I guess that teaches me for assuming. My apologies.

I know the Civic Si very well - if I was still in Florida, I would most likely have either that or the Scion tC. Nice cars! thumbup

That could be the garage of a Scottish friend of mine who lives in Seattle. He has a 70s Caddy and a Midget. smile

Lol. Each to their own like, but it just isn't my thing.
