> [@boardjnky4](#): > > Since when is constructive criticism a bad thing? > > I thought that was kind of the point of these threads. Or are we just supposed to ‘ooooooooooooo’ and ‘aaaahhhhhhh’ at every project? As long as people aren’t harsh about their opinions and/or thoughts, then what’s the big deal? When someone shares a build typically they are not wanting people opinion on wheels, color, etc etc. Its a personal choice and I find it kind of obnoxious and rude people always have something to say. With parts, design, and fabrication it can be useful but even still there is a line. Everyone is different so it is really up to the person and what they like. ---

Everyone is different so it is really up to the person and what they like. make blog and not a forum thread if you don’t want people to comment. If I was doing a build thread I’d want all the comments in the world positive or negative. worst case you know you are right, best case you save money or don’t make a mistake. ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > This is NEWMANS build thread lets all share our opinion towards what HE should do. 🙂 it’s actually quite the opposite. It’s, lets all comment and say what we would do if we were him. I think most people would agree that they don’t expect newman to actually pull the fenders and paint them. It’s just their opinion and food for thought. Remember, your the one that got butt-hurt and closed your m5 thread because people called you out on putting shitty parts on your car. Your car is nice, you had WAY more positive feedback in that thread, than negative. ---

Your car is nice, you had WAY more positive feedback in that thread, than negative. I am in no way shape or form displeased with the parts I have and my automotive knowledge trumps yours I am quite sure. I closed that thread because people on here are such a group of crying fairy fucks and have something to say about everything. Hence no more build thread as I do not care for peoples shitty opinions. For a daily driver those coilovers are the best option. But I am sure all you e-ballers have countless amounts of coin.
