My own car

So, what car do I own? Of course it is the car that comes as close to a GSA as it can get. A Citroën BX, the successor of the GSA. My BX is an 1988 built white BX14E S6. Te 'E' in the type indication means "economique" cause it is the BX with the lowest fuel use. The 'S6' parts indicates the engine is a clean engine, without catalysator. The colour of the car is as said white (code EWTcS). My BX has driven 211.000km, at purchase the speedometer stood at 191.131km. The car has the well known 1360cc engine and a 5-speed gearbox.

I have fitted a couple of things to this BX myself; I have build in a BX Chic interiour. The old seats, manufactured from cheap material where kind of worn out. The Chic interiour is in my opinion one of the nicest available for the bx. The seats and material are GTI interiour like, except for that they are all black, the doorpanels have a red stripe through them. The rearseat can be pulled down in two parts, which is of course very conveniant.

I have also fitted electric windows up front to the car and added rearview mirrors painted in the same colour as the body of the car. Further the car is equiped with a black roofspoiler, type 1 bx foglights, RPM - meter, 16v front spoiler, headrests in the back and a few other extras. Underneath you can see a list of adjustments i made to the car and also which adjustments i still plan to do.
Things that I am working on right now are a GTI spoiler, 16v spoiler kit and windscreen whiper at the rear. A few things that are going to be added in the near future are a sport exhaust, K&N airfilter, central locks and a double carburator from a Visa GT.

All in all the BX is a great car to drive, it has a very good preformance and reliability. The roadholding is, like with all hydropneumatic Citroéns great. I like my BX very much, it not only gives a great pleasure driving it, but I also enjoy just looking at it when it is parked in street in front of our house, or being busy looking for new parts or working on it. Besides that it is an inexpensive car, it can easily carry five people and has a lot of loggage space, for not much money.
