1987 Citroen BX 19 GTi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Supercar performance for under 500ukp!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New spheres all round (£80 for 4).
2 new hydraulic pipe (£30).
Anti roll drop-bars (£50 ea.)
Front discs + pads (£50).
2 heater blowers (£20 second hand).
Exhaust downpipe (£90).
Leaky sunroof.
General comments?
What a car! 0-60 in 7.0 secs and off the clock(140mph) on the autobahn! This thing corners on rails! I put a leather interior in it for £60 and lowered it 40mm, now it's better than any Merc, BMW etc that I know. A Ferrari in Citroen's clothing. Repairs, although difficult, are fairly cheap now and for a 13 year old car it still runs very well!
I joined a club for these cars and things got even better! See the club at http://websites.ntl.com/~lee.eastham
