1990 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"XR2 Beater with no effort involved"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew, electrical problems. Fuel filler hose has rusted so it won't lock, Doh. Electric windows don't work as well.
General comments?
I quite like the GT. It is fairly rapid. Still get whipped by anything bigger than a 1.6 though. Handles like a shopping trolley but it's OK once you get in a straight line and boot it. Mines running at 80 bhp. Get a Janspeed Manifold and system, K&N and a rolling road tune and you're looking at 100 bhp.
Which is what I am planning next. Use the alloys off a Saxo and you've got nice handling too.
