    Engine Oil

    the past few changes ive done i have used mobil super s 10-40 semi synthetic its got a fiver off at the moment in halfords
  3. what sort of spec is the car?
  4. i was tempted by these but i wanted to find someone who had one up and running with some dyno graphs but i havent heard of any :harhar:
  5. i never had any problems with toby and everything i ordered turned up straight away and he got back to me very quickly. shame about others not getting the same service.
  6. Full negative!! haha. ive not had it setup properly yet, but ive been keeping an eye on my tyres and there not being killed on the inside yet. i dont do that many miles in this car so its not to bad.
  7. hahaha its all part of crx ownership. what about the rear hatch struts have they failed and the boot latch slammed down on your back yet??
  8. They are great cars these but they have a few problems they all suffer from pretty much: Gotta watch the rust, back arches going is common Cam end seals always leak haha sunroofs always rust or sieze up boot/rear lights/sun roof/roof drains often leak i loved my Vt had loads of rare bits on it. There so good on fuel too! I will have another vtec at some point probably something a little newer though like an ek9
  9. ive never seen the rears done like that before. looks spot on though! ive got an evo 8 rear bench in the loft.
  10. Thanks mate, there were times when i just had enough of it though when it was sat in the garage for a few months. I just had to put another turbo on it yesterday as the oil seals went on the old one. not a bad job really. as for your dip stick, on the end of them there is a little o ring seal that seals them into the block, make sure that is still in place. and there is a little plate on them near the top that i think bolts to the engine near to the alternator, i cant quite remember. make sure thats attached when you fit it back on.
  11. i havent used it yet but ive got this leak detection spray from work. i think it foams up on any leaks.
  12. when i was 18 (4 years ago) i had a 91 crx vt and i was paying 1500 fully comp with elephant or admiral have you tried them?
  13. my mate has got the hdi copy one. its almost identical to it. i will be fitting it when i get chance. even the brackets and fixings look the same.

  15. you dont need to get a english mot, if the irish one is still valid. ive been stopped by the police and produced the irish mot and it was all fine. ive done this twice with irish cars.
  16. ive got a hdi cooler behind there i only had to trim a tiny bit from behind where the foglight is on the passenger side.
  17. haha a couple of people on the ax forum have been moaning about it and saying i should take it off. im not a nazi or anything, i just cant be arsed.
  18. Well i got the ax home last week with no 1st or 2nd gear haha. the linkages were wrecked and one of them had fell to pieces. So i ordered Some constella group n ones and i got them fitted today they look much better no way thay will be coming off. I hope i never have to touch the gear linkages on this car again there an absolute pain in the arse on these. Tomorrow i will be replacing a strut top mount as i snapped one of the bolts. then i can take it for a drive cant wait should be good fun.
  19. you need to mess about with the bias aswell or the back end just locks up (like my mates 205 with the gti rear beam on haha) I have a 106 gti rear 24mm arb to fit on the ax beam when it gets lowered. I really dont think the hassel and cost of changing the rear beam for a disc beam is worth it at all, the drums will be staying. also drums = handbrake turns! hahaha this is a slag after all so i give it plenty of abuse i just bought a converter loom which was a modified vts loom that plugged straight into the ax multi plug. the only wiring i had to do was the fuel pump wire under the ecu and
  20. a mate put it on with tiger seal when we were sticking the bodykit bac on. i wont bother with the disc rear beam, it doesnt need it. the brakes are amazing on this. i havent really used the short shifter much and my exhaust rubs on the shifter linkage so i cant really say. the old plastic one was very worn and sloppy though so it did improve it.
  21. Heres a little thread on my citroen ax gti that i have owned for longer than any other car. ive had it nearly 3 years now. i bought it as a project and slowly worked away at it. here is when me and my mate picked it up it couldnt be drove as the brakes weren't working. Dont ask me why i bought it as i hate most French cars, i guess i thought it would be a laugh really. It was standard apart from a full stainless power flow system with a stupidly big outward rolled tail pipe!!! haha and a k+n filter oh and the shark badge on the boot????! The car still had 9 months mot but all the brakes w
  22. to fit the g6r box you need to swap belhousings the g6 box is the one that bolts right up to the 4efte. you wont regret the 6 speed conversion i loved mine in my old gt
  23. im sure my rota jmags are 15"x7" et40 with 195/45 tyres and they only slightly catch when on bumpy sharp corners but thats only because my front end is pretty low and i havent finished adjusting my coilovers yet to sort it out.
