I always wanted a CRX Del Sol for my next car, just to take a break from fiestas, and then get a 2i or RST after it.

But I think I'm gonna get an AX GT next......I don't like the standard appearance of them, but I think you can make them really nice......

What is your opinions on them?

by **Dave106gti** on Tue Jul 08, 2003 7:01 pm

Fast as standard, handle well - just dont crash it or sneeze in it cos it will fall apart

Mate has had 4 now and loves them to bits

by **~nomad~** on Tue Jul 08, 2003 7:14 pm

Personally I think they look arse standard and arse modded. I like del sols kitted up though

by **DaveZetec** on Tue Jul 08, 2003 7:49 pm

what other car could look reasonable with a jap front bumper and venoms :lol:

by **DaveZetec** on Tue Jul 08, 2003 7:52 pm

this aint bad either, not usually a fan of jap stuff as most of you probly know but Del Sols pull it off well.

Dont like AX GT's at all, its basically an old fashion Saxo! :rolleyes:

CRX Del Sol's are mint motors when done up, and u cant beat a bit of VTEC :wink:

I love AX GT's, had one as my first motor a couple of years ago. They look mint after a bit of moddin'

Very fast (for a 1.4 N/A), and handle brilliantly with a few tweeks.

Lower it, and fit adjustable shocks, mine had koni's and if you have the front a bit softer, it'll eliminate understeer. A strut brace makes a noticeable difference.

Then slap some 15"s on, with 195/45s might need a tiny bit of arch work 'cos of the tyre width

Then a piper X filter (with custom air feed) and get the 2nd jet drilled out, along with a nice exhaust (and manifold) 100bhp is easy!

Only weighs 720(ish)kg so it'll keep with 'faster' cars fairly easy

i love them. thats on my next car list along with supra, 300 zx and golf mk3 vr6.

by **Dan_200sx** on Tue Jul 08, 2003 11:20 pm

Just my opinion mate but i hate AX's and most citroens in general! Dont have a crash in it cos you'll be lucky to get out!

Wouldnt say there 'fast' either :rolleyes:

Nippy through the gears and thats about it, Deathtrap springs to mind!

If you have to get another car before an RST then a Jap Del Sol would be the best out of the two.....................................But why not save yourself some money and go straight to an RST :wink:

And when you come on here and know nothing about the people on here, and nothing about the humour!

I think not

No! I never said that!

Any particular reason for just adding Citreon AX to your signature?

by **bowdenj** on Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:12 pm

TJ :No! I never said that!

None, other than the fact that I own one, and I forgot to put it on in the first place. Do you have a problem with that ?

bowdenj - chill dude.

by TJ on Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:15 pm

No not at all! But grow up mate!

Theres no need for all this attitude!

by **bowdenj** on Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:16 pm

chumkila :bowdenj - chill dude.

The annoying thing is that I'm here cos I quite like Fiestas (or Fords for that matter), and I am experienced and qualified enough to give a valid and subjective view on most cars.

I would expect the same from others. I agree that the Ax build quality is not that good, but I could say the same for Fiestas, compared to an Audi. What does it gain you to criticise as inanely as calling someone names?

TJ i'm sure Al can defend himself, everyones entitled to opinons yada (but perhaps not you yer sheep shaggin welshman

Not that i'm stirring :rolleyes:

I've always liked the Honda, got some nice lines as standard and my neighbour loves his and says its quick, then again he drives a volvo 740 saloon day to day :rolleyes:

. As said i wouldn't like to smash it but definately a pose mobile

Theres a teeeeney bit of a difference between a Audi and a fiesta.

Brand new Audi £13,145 - Cheapest Audi

Brand new Fiesta 11,995 - Most Expensive Fiesta

You cant compare German build quality to a fiesta.

It goes like this...

Skoda-Cheap VW

VW

Audi-Expensive VW

Audi's are in same leagues as BMW,Mercs,Jaguars,Saab,Volvo.

by TJ on Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:27 pm

Im sure Al can too, but what was the point in him post that kind of remark!

You missed the point, I said Audi because I didn't want to say Ford cars (seeing as lots of Fords are built in Germany)

By the way, the build quality of all VW / Audi cars is the same, the fact that the badges are different has no affect on this

Audi's marketing puts them in the same league as BMW / Saab etc
