With a central wiper blade, isnt an aerofoil going to work upside down half the time?

'Started' with a Vauxhall Chevette 1.3 GLS. Brought for £50 in the free ads paper and came with 3.5 pistons and front wings made of rust. Replaced the broken piston with one that nearly fitted, sold it before I passed my driving test! My first real car was 1979 Vauxhall Viva estate 1.3SL in bronze. ...

I'm pretty sure there was a pic in Practical Performance Car a few issues back of a custom fuel rail for a V12 using 15mm copper pipe from the local DIY store.

This was for a V12 Metor engine (detuned Merlin) into a Rover SD1, so some inventiveness should be expected

Wasn't someone once talking about making up some moulds for fibreglass replicas of the Phase2 front & rear bumpers?

My previous 16v felt a tad sluggish after I had the cambelt changed, so I think cam timing could be a factor. I was immensely impressed how much better the green hornet goes since I put in a new dizzy & rotor arm - apparently having contacts that come close to touching is important in these fini...

Ah, the BMW minfilms "The Hire" series - top stuff if you don't mind Clive Owen looking cooler than James Bond and driving the ass off a BMW or two. BMW commissioned them as an advertising gimmick, although I've never seen them on TV or cinema anywhere, I think it was just an internet thin...

If they axe Top Gear, we'll be left with Fifth Gear (which isn't nearly as fun) or the glod-awful dregs from satellite channels. I mean, have you ever seen Sky One's flagship car show Vroom Vroom? It redefines the term 'b*****ks'. (Forum stops me saying rude words. Hint - It ryhmes with Oar Locks :D...

I beleive the green hornet is an ex-PTS car, and anyone who's seen her up close will agree that the paintjob looks like it was applied by Stevie Wonder using a vacuum cleaner on reverse and quality checked by Ray Charles. There's flat and rough spots all over the metal and and set of pinholes on the...

There arent many BXs of any flavour around at all now. I saw one last night and realised just how few I notice nowadays.

Would you buy a used car from this man?

Much as I love the 16v, it would be nice to have the same engine, flyweight body shell, spacious and comfortable interior and superb grip but without having the constant nag in the back of my mind that the suspension isnt working right.

Purely from memory (the BX is currently boxed in the garage since the local pikeys expressed interest when picking up a scrap cooker from my place), the downpipe and manifold are seperate and join at the back of the engine bay, dont they? If so, how hard would it be to get a custom exhaust maker to ...

Yes, it's Bora Bora Green, a proper PSA colour. I've seen it on Xsara Picasso's and the odd Saxo, but the amount of flat metal on the BX really makes it stand out. People were literally stopping and staring when I drove by for the first couple of weeks :) The shuts are sprayed in, but the engine bay...

I bought my Green one because it was low milage, and certain parties on this forum said "Oh yeah, it's been resprayed in metallic green, I think its a Ford colour like they get on Mondeo's." I thought it was a nice deep forest green, so imagine my suprise when we rounded the corner of the ...

Wind the adjuster back in! I found with all 3 of my 16valvers (89/90 phase 2's) that if you adjusted the mixture screw so that CO was about 1.5% it gave noticably more punch in the midrange. Dont ask me why the idle mixture adjustment did this, but it worked! For me, the start of the power band shif...
