dean36014 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Door bottom repairs. Still need to make the complete bottom of the frame up to. Also having the zx detailed as it really needs it. The paintwork was really flat and in need of attention. My friend who's doing it has been sending me photos.

Tadhg Tiogar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 RamAir cone type foam air filter has arrived. This comes with a converter plate so that can be fixed to the L-Jetronic AFM on the CX. Am going to try this on the basis that anything has got to be better than that inaccessible rusting box that Citroën calls an air filter.

Pat Earrings Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Well I had to do it. Popped to Halfords to get some Millers petrol max additive and at £5 for the Richbrook keyring seemed quite a good deal. I tried my best using Halfords toolbox red touch up pen to fill in the faded ST badge. Wobbly handed as fuck and it's not the greatest of jobs but, even at a couple feet it looks a million times better. A new OE badge is £28 and I don't think I will be buying that any time soon. I will be doing a full service including plugs on this just to keep it sweet. Think I will invest in a k&n panel filter though. loserone, Lord Sterling and richardmorris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out it sounded like some fucker playing a trombone down a megaphone. The volume on cold starts, Christ you could hear it from a neighbouting town.The drone inside at a certain speed was horrible. There must be nothing in those silencers.Plus it never really fitted properly.I now have a non resonated Milltek, it now actually sounds like a sports car. dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a non resonated Milltek, it now actually sounds like a sports car. I may just fit a nicer back box, I've seen a good used Janspeed one in eBay. But if I decide against that then I'll go for a local exhaust specialist to just replace it. The exhaust itself is in fantastic condition I'm just wanting to future proof it a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Ramair to good effect on a few things including the Locost and Clio 182. Seems decent quality and decent price which is always good.

Keep searching for a centre box delete which they make to make it even noisier but not found one for sensible money yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need is a suitable heat shield / intake box for it that will fit into the very limited space that a CX has behind the offside headlight.
