Does anyone know what's up with the bx club site, I thought it was just me but it appears not.

I wondered if it was me but tried from work today and normally can, it's been like that for a couple of days. Hopefully it's nothing fatal.

According to the XM forum, the new server at the new host (which if you've not seen it is MUCH faster) was moved literally hours after Jim had done the move. It just means a small down time period, but should be back up pretty quick.

There is an epic thread on the BXC of a buy (possibly in Romania) who has fitted a 2.1TD to an estate and i think possibly added the valver body kit as well. Very impressive write up, but i think its about time someone put a V6 in a Valver!

If i was gonna stick a diesel V6 in then it would probably be the LandRover Lion engine, 3litre V6 diesel. But only because i have access to a lot of information on them, oh they are a PSA design mind.

hello , i am with the red estate ...tryied to post it here... but i do not have acces !
also the v6 is not so hard to put on the bx... the hard part is the budget ... to do it properly ... i do not think a v6 diesel is the way... heavier for nothing ... if you want to do a job ... a 2.2 hdi engine... tuned at about 200 bhp a sh*t load of torque ... i think would be a rocket ! and stil take a corner .... the problem with the v6 diesel... and bi-turbo and all that stuff... will result a heavy nose , good in drag... not so good on the circuit ! oh ... or maybe you can put in on the back :D
The unique thing to do for a bx... is making it an Activa :wink: Bx hidractive was made... but Bx Activa never (hope i am not wrong )
