1978 Citroen GS

[emknaps]

Hey folks.
Daniel is my name.
live in West Auckland,
am a euro enthusiast.
haved owned plenty of frogys and spaghetti munchers.

stumbled on this site whilst surfing trademe.

as the topic says i have a Citroen GS

perhaps not considered a fast car but i think my modifications have made it a little unique.....

approximately 135hp and on the rise.

I see the most popular car on this site is the loverly 205GTI

having owned a 1.6 GTi i can say they are rather rapid and handle like go carts..

I would love to own one again one day.

am looking forward to browsing the forums in the next few days...

Cheers,
Daniel.

welcome man...

it's not that safari that was on trademe is it?

D- Is for Dog
G- Is for GO

Welcome mate. Good to see some one who hasn't got a 205 and wants to put an mi16 in it. What mods have you done to your GS? Down-drafts? I had a 1980 GS damn good car.

if my bx wasn't 99% rust, i'd keep it and love it, but it is, so i won't. i will cut its guts out, after i get drunk and fuck around with the gas suspension. and maybe i'll wee on it

Not grumpy. Just board. I think I'll get a 3 series beemer and lower it. Maybe spap some cha-homies on it. Find a mint bx body and do the swap-a-runey, I'll help. 

[monnymc]

okay! i'll store it in a 205 gti for now, while i look 
i actually would really like a sweet bx 16 

[Izzyrally]

keep the body kit

[monnymc]

yeah, i was thinking the same thing... will do.
time to find a bx16 to turn into a racecar!

i'll keep the wheels as well, they're cool-ish

[monnymc]

Finally

I went for a drive on the north western the other day with boost uncapped,

only limited by throttle position so i had to keep an eye on the boost gauge while driving

it accelerates in 4th at 15psi like it does in 2nd at 5psi...
once you crack 12psi it seams to really start hauling.

pinks a little tho and maxes out the injectors,

so i will have to start thinking seriously about upgrades.

gives me the jitters it does,

that much grunt on 145 SR15's is going to be a problem.......
