I can't find the website that I got my info from, but a quick bit of research found that it is the N9TE engine, here's a BX4TC under bonnet shot.

Compare that to the 505 turbo pic above

It's a few years ago now and things may have changed, but I always recommend Bosal front pipes. I had a snapped front pipe replaced a long way from home and the only one available was a Walker, this oddly had NO siamesed section on the front pipe at all. I lost a lot of low down torque which is prec...

Have you lowered the car?

Which circuit?
How many times do you hit the brakes in 56 seconds at Brands?

I hate to argue here but, as Gary C said, we ran Bertie the BX for 4 seasons on standard Citroen pads and discs on most of the circuits in this country. We didn't have glazing or overheating problems at all. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z167/rugg_uk/bx.jpg copyright Ian Hardy 2004 I've seen Ga...

I ran standard size Black Diamond grooved discs with EBC Green Stuff for 18 months. They lasted 9k miles and I was quite hard on them. The stopping power was tremendous, if a little rough under extreme braking, I mean 100+ hard stopping. The pressures inside the BX caliper are tremndous, 40 tons I b...

I loved them on Chris's car and pandered him to sell them to me. On my red 16v, I saw them in either a tarty gold centre with a polished rim, or a moody anthrecite centre with a dark gold rim.

I'll dig them out and photograph them. See if there's any interest here before I Ebay them.

It's the common grey and black diagonal striped type. It's free to anyone who will collect it or pay for carriage. Northampton area. Chris White's old a...
