Citroen XM Forum

What an excellent idea, a shared estate. I like it! How very useful.

Hope you get better soon Jim.

Ahh haa.. Good to see you back Jim... Glad your feeling a bit better!

Thanks Paul, and Russ I am and all thanks to some lovely restorative sunshine over the weekend..

I can see the XM estate is going to be handy. Especially with the WFA projects currently on the go at the moment.

Yesterday was a sad day as we discovered that fitting an ES9 into an RX-8 is nigh-on impossible. A conversion to am MX-5 engine is now being investigated. It's one that's recognised and much information on doing it abounds. I'm sure the XM estate will be ideal for collecting a donor MX-5 engine and gearbox at some point...

The ES9 engine is now destined for somewhere else

Hi Jim,
Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery nasty stuff man flu especialy when your on your own.

Shame about the RX conversion.....so what fiendish plans have you got for the ES9 then.....

An AC-Cobra Kit car that’s being built by one of WFA with Citroen Hydractive suspension!

The ES9 is in place of a planned Rover V8...

Now that Jim sounds very interesting. What a combination!!

It's going to be quite a car Russ. In fact we joke that the C in AC now stands for Citroen as is getting ever more Citroen stuff in it. A while back we broke a Xantia for all the suspension components and much else...

You Criminal! Ive probably got all the bits already removed from a few! I know theres about three front subframes Complete, and currently theres a rear one too..

Hi happy XMer's!

It's very gratifying to see that the BX Club stand being appreciated - we worked very hard on that and it really paid off. The 'carpet thing' met with mixed reactions on the forum because of the outlay, but I pushed for it and in the end everyone agreed it was worth the dosh - we all just chucked a few bob in the hat and now we have it for future shows too - so a sound investment.

The fabulous XM was indeed conspicuous by its absence from a show about the great and the good of the classic car world - go for it chaps - you were missed!

Best

Paul
