I would invite yoo to refer to my previous post!

Point taken on higher risks with alloy flywheels, but no plans to fit a poor component or fit a good one badly!! there is an equation that describes the weight and inertia of a rotating mass, anyone who challenges the need to minimise rotating mass in a competition engine has no proper competition e...

Hi, interested how the brake thread is going, haven't looked for a while. I have a 16V phase two in which is to some extent being cloned to my own racer. The car is now up and running on 8 x 16 front, 7 x 16 rear Compomotive MOs with graphite grey centres and diamond cut rims, as the original. 288mm...

the racer's idled like that through two shells, two colours and two engines over twelve years! all fine!

I haven't checked out a new 16V downpipe for a while, but one thing's for sure, a new downpipe, even a Citroen supplied one, may well not be exactly the same spec as the original one fitted when the car was new, even if it's the same make. An awful lot of new exhaust parts supplied by manufacturers ...

All the Starters have the same basic fitting, I have found one particularly large old diesel one that hits something on a 16V, the manifold from memory. Xantia td one is a tiny whizzy one and is fab, just fitted one on blue racer

Hope So!!! Just want them to never overheat on a big sticky tyre with maximum beans for a sustained period. Should have my disc spacing shims for this weekend, very tempting to try the big brakes on the blue car at Lydden two weekends away. Car was fun with Matt driving at Brands Hatch, first time o...

just removed subframe front void bushes - perished and shot to bits, centre sleeves not attached any more! every set i've removed always looked like that, if they were visible in an MoT they would fail! good 25mm of vertical movement in the subframe. Should have new ones made soon.

Hi, am about to whip a rear subframe front mounting off the big brake car to have some nylon ones made - two pairs of top hats, in case anyone wants a set made at the same time. They of course have no give whatsoever. made some for the orange thing in 1997, still in there, despite the change in colo...

Hi, started on the 288mm conversion today, would appear that the disc needs spacing outwards a little - 288mm disc thicker than 283mm one i think, which is fab for heat dissipation, not for ease of fitting! The calliper needs spacing inwards a little, which is a little easier! Now awaiting laser cut...

Hi, Ignition relay is a nice idea, probably not the reason yours wont start, but an awful lot of BXs had starter motor replacements when the true reason was volt drop across the ignition switch, so just getting the ignition switch to operate a relay in the engine bay works well. I've done loads of t...

From a machine shop point of view, blocks are decked (to reface and/or achieve a compression ratio), heads are skimmed!
The old fashioned term for excessively skimming a head to achieve a higher compression ratio was planing (minis etc)!

Hi, cleaning up the connections on that box fixed every BX i ever saw with that symptom. seems to sense rpm more than speed when it is faulty.

There's a little box with a multiplug by the OS headlamp, clean up the contacts, it fixes the problem!

Hi, the way i've described to fit the cable is based on experience, i've also given the mobile version if you like! it takes about an hour if you know the way round but of course a bit longer on the first one. if you don't take the pedal box out, you don't get to inspect it. i've had to realign and ...
