Bonjour!
Just joined. Wouldn't have known about this site if I'd never seen the sticker on what I'm sure must've been a 205.
Seen your 'kiwi-d.i.y.' GS turbo on youtube. Same one aye?
Had an '81 GSA wagon 1300 5-speed for three years, fricken awesome... but just needed a bit more 'go'. Dreamed of doing anything along the lines of injection,twin carbs,turbo or supercharging many a time - just didn't have the means. With the suspension and aerodynamics they can sure handle heaps more speed. Awesome how smooth hydropneumatic Citroens seem to almost feel safer the faster they go! It could also do big 'jump's that would scare the s**t out of any car with 'normal' suspension!
PS: My Papa's life was saved once by a Peugeot 504, only because it was tough enough to handle a crash that would've squashed most cars with weaker bodies.
Anyways, till next time/a la prochaine fellow frog-o-philes  *:-)
