Any information about how to sort my problems with water and electrics would be very much appreciated contact nick on :07815 168713 I will ring you back!

Faults:

Only a few traumas.

Carb went way out of tune, poor running problem just before twin choke kicks in. Rolling road cured, but still needs new distributor.

Windscreen washer jets don't function.

Stage 3 on the heater doesn't work.

Clunky gearing.

General Comments:

Great car generally. Absolutely love AX GTs. This is my second 1. These are my current modifications:

15" Raceline alloys on 45 profile tyres

Full Colourcoded smoothed bodykit

Peco Big Bore 2 back box

Cobra Bucket seats with 3 point harnesses

Lots of ICE

Pipercross Air filter with larger jets

Simoni Racing Steering wheel

Momo Chrome gearknob.

It really does look and go very well indeed. Impressive acceleration, top end is a little disappointing, but still you can't have everything.

Overall great car!!

Faults:

Clutch cable went.

Drivers caliper is sticking slightly.

My car started life as a 1 litre. however I soon got bored with its frankly awful performance and carried out a proper engine and gearbox swap. The result is a very nippy little car. The fact it is so light means that it will beat bigger cars with much larger engines.

Standard styling was poor, however the GT can look quite nice, its nicely different from the average Saxo or Nova, and doesn't have a bad-boy reputation. Plus the car is a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing, I have given many people a very nasty shock at the lights!

General build quality isn't too bad, so far the car has been reliable although the bodywork is very thin and the brakes are nothing special. The GT seats are quite comfortable, but the driving position is poor and the car is very noisy.

Handling is superb, even without modern luxuries such as power steering it is still very responsive and easy to control.

Special mention must go to the fuel economy, which even when driven hard is superb. Combine this with cheap parts and easy d.i.y maintenance, and you have a car that won't break the bank.

Faults:

Rattling noise coming from the engine bay (sounds like the heat shield)

Central locking has a paddy every so often whilst driving. Driver seat sometimes won't lock into place on one side. Water leak in back of the car. Rust under rear window ledge. Rattly build inside when driving along.

When I first bought this car I was not sure whether I had made the right choice, but after the first night of driving it, it totally changed my opinion. How fast this car is, for what it is really scared me! It goes round corners superbly, the amount of grip you get from the standard "165" wheels is quite amazing amazingly fun to drive and a nice car to look at. The standard exhaust sounds meaty along with the engine, as soon as it hits 4000RPM and above your flying and the sound that comes from it is quite beautiful. And what wraps it up for me is the very good MPG. I am thinking about getting some new alloys to make it look sweet and was wandering if anyone had any advice on what size and suspension change/adjustment would be needed. I've read that the AX has 3 bolt alloys which makes buying difficult. Any suggestions? Cheers.
