Wonder if they'll do a RWD version, as for the 405?

I wonder if it has been converted to springs though.

I have emailed them with a question about the suspension, and I am looking forward to their reply.

What's that the FS1E untuned version of that engine, with tuning restrictors in the ports!

In the cutaway drawing you can see the suspension spheres.

Well yes good point!

Although reading this spec list.......

Air conditioning system

Central locking system

Remote control switch with immobilizer

Front & Rear power windows

Driver's and front passenger air bag

Side impact bars in front & rear doors for passengers safety

Safety seat belts with auto quick puller system

Central arm rest & rear seat folding arm rest for skis

Digital monitoring : out temperature, clock, speedometer, date

Driver adjustable organic seats

Heater rear window & wiper with alternate function

Windscreen wiper with automatic rain sensor & two speeds with manual control

Sun visors with mirror (Driver's Sun visor with folding mirror)

Catalyst convertor with Euro II standard

Front & rear fog lamps

Carter steams filtering system

Front wheels brake ventilated disk with brake pad wear monitor

Access from front cabin to trunk

Power side mirrors system , heated side mirrors

Fuel evaporating control system

Digital AM /FM radio/cassette & CD changer with 6 speaker

Fuel inertia switch in case of accident & upside down

OBD Engine defect finder light

Power steering wheel

They mention clock, speedometer.....Well that's a basic spec most cars have yes even a clock, but the speedo is a legal requirement. So mentioning that in their list is odd!

The seats are organic?

Nice and environmentaly, friendly or is it a typo for orthopedic, but wouldn't it be better if they were orthopedic

Rain senor wipers are not a standard spec on other vehicles.

Whereas sun visors are!

Therefore they seem to be missing out on mentioning two things they could put in the spec sheet.

As it's been sold in a hot climate, then the parcel shelf sunblind should be a important point to mention.

Also the spheres are a special thing, with all the comfort factor that goes with this suspension design, so why not make it an item to draw attention to!

Instead they don't mention it, and have used an old cutaway diagram, so therefore what have they done, or not done to the suspension?

Keeping it original saves on changing a proven system and costs.

I would if in their place leave it as designed, but it would be good to find out what they have done to it!

Yes. You have to mow them on a regular basis...

There's a built-in scuttle leak to keep them watered....

Well they will also get nourishment if the driver has flatulence!

That's "carbon sequestration" in modern green-speak.

ACTIVE8 · Post by **ACTIVE8** » 01 Apr 2010, 12:15

Which means they would also work as a filtration system, and therefore the car would have more than one air cleaner.

They should stick that on the spec sheeeet!

Apparently the seats are called Scorpion, so as the driver lets rip, plays their bum note, and eh....gases through the organic material, it plays "Wind Of Change!"

Very good

Only trouble is, I have that tune stuck in my head now...

Maybe they've got 'aircraft' seats in them as seats on aeroplanes have carbon built into them so when someone 'lets one off' the rest of the passengers don't cop for it too, or at least that's the theory

. By the way if those of you who have access to a lexia you should see pics of the latest ZX's on there too (& possibly Xsara's too), i think they're destined for the chinese market much like those special zx's of many moons ago. as for the Xantia, well its no 'looker' but most new cars aren't these days, if it were to be made available in the UK it'd best not be multiplexed or you wont see me on the waiting list.

Thanks CitroJim!

I had my "Wind Of Change" at the time of the previous post I.E. 1st April but held it back, and didn't follow

through until now, otherwise that tune would have stuck around for longer!
