Can read it again now

I've just changed the link to the pictures, my old server has died a long time ago

So pictures are viewable again (and clickable as well for larger ones)

It has been a while since I showed myself over here. But as planned I started building the 6-speed gearbox in my valver :) The gearbox is in place, just 3 little problems remained, one of the hydraulics tubes got damaged, the stationairy RPM is way to high (around 5.000) and it leaks a bit cooling f...

Jup I've seen this same mod on a valver from Amsterdam, the owner of that valver visited me last weekend to buy my 8V GTI, its quite nice to do 2400 revs at 120 KM/h instead of 3700 it normally does. But my goal is not to decrease my revs just want to increase my gears :lol: and so it will be :D at ...

I had to search in the ol' dust to find this topic again :) But anyways....an update: I went and got me that 6-speeder gearbox today :D Had to leave 600 Euro's behind for it, and an additional 75 for the short axel, and now all I need is fetch a new clutch and all that and the building can begin! Ca...

Did Citroën offer the Ourane in the UK?
Thats (I think) a TZD-turbo fitted with the 16V MK2 rear spoiler.

Thank you and thank god :D My father came by with his compression meter, and it had a VERY nice compression of 15 BAR on each cilinder :shock: and that even after taking over 300.000 kilometers and the last 150.000 on autogas :D There was some damage though, we couldn't get the compression meter in ...

Well, it seems that there's some sunny sky behind the clouds. Yesterday evening when it happened it was already dark, and it scared the sh*t out of me when I felt all that hot air (even some hints of flames :shock: ) so immediately I turned of the engine. After a quick call to my father I decided to...

Well, not too nice all this :( Yesterday after I visited my parents I drove back home, just about a mile befor I came home I stopped to deliver a laptop that I repaired. 10 minutes later I start my car, drive away and within 20 meters I hear a bang, and My enine has just 1 working cilinder left :( A...

The only thing I could think of to remove that cloink is to either install new calipers for your BX, or install those of a (Standard Xantia 1.6 or 1.8 ) Those calipers are constructed differently. The part that holds the calipers stays static while the part with the piston moves. If you replace the ...

ive got a spare 5 cog from a zx and i have gti6 box so id like to make 1 good one out of the two and then change the sixth gear to make a cruising gear Nice! IF it really makes a difference let me know, perhaps I'll try the same! I've made the first payment yesterday, so 2 to go and It's all mine :...

Actually the size is the same (BE3)
Just the diff is a bit wider and for that I need to replace the gearbox-end of my BX's short axel with one from that peugeot, or xantia or ZX.

I've got some pics! Not too big unfortunately but I'll mail the present owner for hig res pics. anyways, it looks not too complicated I guess! http://145.99.215.116/~tonie/Citroen/bx16v/6-bak/1.JPG http://145.99.215.116/~tonie/Citroen/bx16v/6-bak/2.JPG http://145.99.215.116/~tonie/Citroen/bx16v/6-ba...

naturally

The 6th gear of that box is equal to my present 5th gear, so in theory it should accelerate a bit faster (if I don't lose too much time with shifting ) But its definitely sweet to be able to say that I have a six-box

Heys! A Dutch 16Valver already is fitted with the 6-box. about the hydraulic clutch, thats just a question of replacing the levers (one pushes, the other one pulls) as for the linkage, I've been told by this dude that it'll fit like a charm! But as always.... I'll have to wait :D but when I start on...
