How much was that TP? Dont want to pay the ridiculous prices Forge charge for their Hard Pipe kit

Bought it off a guy for 115 quid, plus the intercooler pipe, It needed slight modifying but its well worth it, they go normally for like 400 quid though

You have some neck to drive that daily man!
Not in a bad way at all, like it actually looks mad

Just could never drive something like that myself!

No need for the Boards sticker anyway that is for certain

Technically not a car but a vehicle none the less.

If it was the odd Nurburgring sticker i'd raise my eyebrows.

He's gone balls out in fairness. :pac:

I think it looks good.

You should send it to Africa

i would but at the moment it wouldn't make it down A fricken road, let alone to Africa !!

(see what I did there :P )

I'm in two minds, I love the car but I need the space for other more interesting stuff and am moving house shortly - will be hard to transport her.

Is sending a car to Africa a profitable thing?

Yep, very much so actually, if you know what you are doing.

No 1.6 TDIs to see here

I hope not, the 1.4 TDI in the Fabia is far superior! :pac:

Define better?

Handling...the Clio, no contest. It handles like it's on rails.
Straight-line...the Fabia(180bhp) probably edges the Clio(197bhp) but that's mostly down to the 7speed DSG in the Fabia compared to 6speed manual in the Clio.
Comfort...again the Fabia wins...the Clio is fairly tiresome on a long journey with 120kph equating to about 4k rpm and as it's an R27 it has the lowered cup suspension so it's fairly unforgiving.
Economy...the Clio manages low 30s mpg on a run at best/high 20s around town...the Fabia can do high 40s (which is pretty decent for a "performance" petrol) on a run/30-35mpg around town
Fun...easily the Clio.

So back to your question, which is the better car...I don't know. The Clio is the fun hatch while the Fabia is our "sensible" hatch

I'm picking this up at the end of the month for some French Fun. Can't wait.

J-reg 1991 Citroen BX 16 TGS Auto with 70k miles from new. It drives like a beauty. 8-)

Wow, that is mint clean! Best of luck with it when it arrives.

It's very clean and has had a suspension over hall and a partial strip down for the purposes of rustproofing. It's a credit to the seller and I'm getting an XM estate full of spares to go with it:)

In time, in time

I need to learn the oddities of Citroens first. I decided I'd had enough of old Rovers and MGs for the time being so on to something French and comfortable.

Good point, but still project thread!

I stared at those seats long enough to see the palm tree, anyone else see it?

Clearly you bought it from a French car nut!

If your still up there, I know a guy called Luke who is hugely into his French stuff, and he's got a base spec 1.4 BX.

I'm up here for the summer.

It's not Luke who is also into large Renaults and Volvos? I haven't met him yet but an all round good egg I'm told. there is a 14BX for sale in Antrim too on donedeal.

He's generally a Frnech car nut. That 14BX was Luke's and he sold it to a friend of mine, but I think he may have sold it on, I'm not sure. He could help you out with the Citroen if you needed parts or whatever, he is as you say a "good egg"
