Ford Fiesta. Also notice the cracked front.

 

[maxtortheone]

I believe that was caused by the huge down force that lip spoiler produced at high speed

^That should be James May's next car then.

Im not 100% sure about this, so Im going to ask here.

Do you think this car is carbage?

 

[killpanda]

Yep, it's a Sierra

^^ I looked at the rest of the photos (http://teamsideways.com/albums/sierraiST/) and the fitting / workmanship is a bit of an eyesore. Let's put it like this: for use on the public roads I think it's carbage. But you could use it on a track and not be terribly embarrassed about it

After looking at the other photos, I think you're right.

Interesting fact:
Due to the rear suspension design if you lower the rear of a Sierra without changing/modifying the suspension struts, you end up with a lot of negative camber. -40mm is really the limit for road use, which, obviously that guy didn't obey:

That rear camber is a joke.

EDIT:
This is what you were referring to with "bad fit and finish?"

 

[Raparperi]

^ Indeed it is

Anything that says TUNEZING!!!1 on it in huge letters is insta-carbage.


btw, those things on the hood of that car that ricers seem to like putting on their hoods for absolutely no reason, what's the actual purpose of those things if one were to actually use them? Keeping the bonnet shut or something?

They are called bonnet pins, basically bonnet locks that allow for quick&easy access to the engine bay. Pretty much exclusively used on racing cars..

And this guy wants $5000 for it?!

 

[Der Stig]

The guy's gotta get his meth some how!

 

[Doctor Blade]

Why'd he lower it? And did anyone tell him that orange cream isn't a color for cars?

To make sure the aftermarket bodywork gets ripped off by a parking curb. :lol:

The last 3 pages of this thread have properly scarred me for life. The vans. The Merc thing. And the other crap.

What in the name of all that's holy is this shit?
