1990 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap rare hot hatch that will live on"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car as a project so it did have a few problems. The previous owner had it standing for a year. The exhaust system didn't have the right fitments at the manifold, one of the calipers were held in with a Coach Bolt! and had a slight prang on the front panel (required new one)
I got everything I needed from another GT which I bought for £100.
General comments?
This car is amazing. I had it lowered all round and put a full Janspeed exhaust system on it and a K&N Bolt on Filter, they make a lot of difference.
The interior is basic, but the seats are sporty and comfortable. The car as standard handled well, but since being dropped it's amazing, just don't go too low or it will handle like a boat! The car can have most things off the line and nova boys don't stand a chance!
