Hey

Im Nikolai, 18yrs old studying in Wellington but from Gisborne. Ive owned a 1990 Citroen AXGT for about 2 and a half yrs now and have loved every minute of it. Ive put a good 30,000 ks on the clock, which also means ive spent a fair bit of time underneath the front end   but truth be told ive loved that part too. Before i left home the clutch was starting to give out; the result of showing many friends with jap german and australian cars what the Citroen could do   One highlight was dragging off my friend in his 2.3 Merc 190E. So i am on the lookout for a new clutch kit and also an electric window motor if anybody can help. But anyways, for now i just have to pass the time until i can go home for summer and start up that beastly 1400cc engine  

Cheers guys

Nice one- used to own an injected AXGT, loved it, once i sorted out throttle position sensor! Great fun cars to drive. Welcome.

yeah unfortunately this ones not injected but a new battery and a bit of carby cleaner means the cold morning starts arnt a prob anymore haha

CArbie model had heaps more grunt anyway. Dont bother trying to find alloys either- why citroen wanted to save one wheel nut a corner is beyond me. You can get em on ebay but not cheap to get over here!

[you wont get parts for it mate]

Good work! Welcome dude. Citroen's rock!

theyve tried to wave weight everywhere i think haha. door once fell off my car because the pins are like a thin aluminium! oh well just means a better power:weight  thats interesting that they sell mags in 3 stud at all actually, i had thought of replacing the hubs but also a costly option

[monnymc]

couldn't you fit 106 hubs and beam to her? they're 4x108 aren't they?

[nikolai_axgt]

yeah def could but by the time i had the parts i needed plus wheels and tyres itd be getting pretty expensive. ive managed to fit on 175 width tyres rather than the 155s it had, so it handles allright anyway. and dont use the car enough anymore to want to spend huindreds on looks

Strip every thing out of her, just leave two seats, register her as a two seater-wheyhey, great  rocketship. I couldnt believe how much faster mine was when i stript the interior out to put my stereo in-very hard to put it back in!
