jimbo da bong's recommendation

Good Points

Excellent engine on the power, responds well to cam and carb tuning, crisp handling on the widest tyres the alloys will allow,

Bad Points

Poor build quality, easily dented bodywork, expect a few knocking sounds from bushes after about 80k, very poor general idle characteristics (from what i know bout axgt's and 205gt's they all do it) carb is not of the best quality

General Comments

I have had two Citroen AX GT's the first i kitted out with a cam which took it to 100bhp (rolling roaded). Handling is poor on the standard tyres so you need to beef them up with the same tyre size fitted to VTRs,The engine is quality on full throttle even with the mesasly 32/34 solex unit.

1/4mile in 16 flat (beat that vtr!!!)

I want tell a story of a mate who spend 2 grand on the engine of his Calibra 20 16v. I had to load the AX five up before he beat me :) best 500 notes I have ever spent!!!
