production numbers

Visa sold about 1.25 million which does quite suprise me, must have been quite popular in France and that probably includes the c15 which you can still get and was popular as cheap etc

Last post

looking at gs-gsa.org, I found out that nearly 2.5 million were made.
I thought that to be a huge number, especially considering the number of survivors. I cannot recall if that is more or less than the BX but it is very close.
Wasn't the 2CV up around 2.9 million?
Does anybody know which was the most produced Citroen?

The dreamspec BX goes home.

Sounds like it was worth the work after all, my own dream spec one is still running well, it seems to upset Bora TDI drivers immensely;)

This Morning, after a thoroughly enjoyable ten days in France, the BX and we had to come home. The aircon worked perfectly, The rest of it stayed viable but we were a little late leaving which meant that I needed to use the engine on the autoroute. Hauling up a two mile long hill, at 110MPH indicated and plenty left would have been remarkable, had...

Piston speed considerations!` Ouch!

First post

First of all piston speed is not linear, because they are conected to the crankshaft the pistons are traveling at their highest speed exactly half way through the stroke, for the rest of the stroke they are either accelerating or decelerating, the piston rapidly decelerates to zero at the end of each stroke and doesn't simply start back in the...

Last post

I am a bit too long out of college to remember exactly how to calculate mass due to deceleration but I recall a particular exercise on a 'small' high speed marine engine at 1000 rpm when an alloy piston at the point of reversing direction at the end of the stroke weighed in at just over 1 ton imperial!
Now the 1.9 diesel has a stroke of 88mm and...

Computers have their uses but I dislike them when I get a text from the monitoring machine at work informing me that half of the server room is on its way down so I have to go in early. Had a long weekend as well so was looking 'forward' to work even less.

Now I know I work in I.T. and should be enthusiastic about modern technology, maybe it's my age but:
I find myself yearning for a simpler age, before mobile phones, personal computers and definately before political correctness.

(Speed?) Camera

Sounds like one of the Truvelo cameras that take pictures of the driver from the front.

Hi Folks
On a road near us there is a camera on a pole, same size yellow box as yer regular Gatso, but facing the oncoming traffic. The front appears to have two transparent round windows, one about 9 inches in dia, one half that size. There is no grid on the road, but a little way along there are three raised strips full width of the road, a few...

Can anyone help me please. There is a bird hanging around the gardens by me, I have only ever seen it against the skyline, so it just looks brown, it is a little larger than a house sparrow, and has a very monotonous call, it gives the call continuously, and it sounds rather like someone running their thumbnail down the teeth of a comb.

Well, I recently 'passed on' the 1.4i Pzazz to a bloke, in return for doing some work on my house. It was out of MOT, and hadn't been used for a month or so.
He took it for its MOT (by coincidence) to the garage where I've taken it for the last five years. They tested it after asking him how he came to have it (they know it fairly well!). And a...

I think I may live to regret starting this thread, but I'm getting really p-----d off by the reaction of motoring groups and the tabloid press to speed cameras. People getting all upset at being caught breaking the law!!
I have this theory - that all speed cameras should be covert. The technology exists to fit them in catseyes! Unmarked cars...

drive it for another few hundred miles and youre pretty much guarenteed a head gasket failure as those 1.4 k series love doing that so im told
perhaps drive it foot to the floor with a lead removed so its firing on 3 for a while or something?

wondering why

by VisaGTi16v » 22 Jun 2004, 05:25

First post

lol i have no idea what youre talking about. Do you normally think about such things when drinking high percentage alchohol on your top patio? :D

Last post

There was recently a wondering why thread and that got me to wondering why:
Citroen did not divorce the damping effect from the sphere, say by means of an electro valve that sat in front of the sphere.
That could then be controlled by the driver (within a suitable range) from the cabin to provide the level of comfort (softness) desired ?
