Citroen zx Volcane on minilites

[johnokane]

heres my other zx.







(fibreglass m3 skirts add 40BHP)

picked up some 17" stealths (mega rare)





sold the stealths on, 17's were just too big and i felt inadequate with a whole 17 inches. so sticking with 15's. However, negative 8 offset and 8 inches wide. all about the girth. lol












few pics

[johnokane]

bit of a tidy up for mot and the donegal rally. . cb, magmount and 4 spots all sitting here for it. new mudflaps and skirts too. will be painted white also. got a ball of welding as it was bluffed up for mot last year. new discs, pads, handbrake cables, clutch and windscreen. got a right bit some of which wasnt needed. just peace of mind and i had a bit of spare cash. getting curse word all but bare essentials taken off for paint as long as its white I'm happy enough

pics are in no real order.

[johnokane]

The Minilites looks really good, better than the sound of it (ZX on minilites).

I got a little worried too... there are loads of starlets and (toyota) sprinters going around here with cheap "superlite" knock offs in rwd fitment with totally unsuitable offsets and the wheels sticking way out of the arches, not because they're too wide but because the offset doesn't suit.

They generally look sh!te but since this is a citroen i gave it a chance thinking it'd be funny at least... but it turned out kind of alright actually. Preferred the wine colour myself bt i'm just generally not a fan of white cars so i'm biased. This one does sort of work as far as i'm concerned but with the spotlights on the front it'd look better if it wasn't so low because it'd because it'd have more of a rally slag feel to it

i am usually not a fan of ZXs, but yours looks fantastic; white and minilites suit it very good ...

[65mustang]

Must say that i really liked the car at first in the wine red with the minilites.

In white, its still nice but missing something.

[Citroening]

Looks lovely and great to see someone cherishing a ZX - the change from red to white was a great descision too.

Wheels suit it brilliantly.

[octagonalpaul]

This is just effortlessly cool, and timelessly so. The minilites suit it surprisingly well and the ride height is spot on. I also liked it in the wine colour, but it looks fresh white.

[nofrills]

Man... Gotta say never been a fan of the ZX BUT.... yours is awesome and now i majorly want one, love the lowness and teh wheels they just work hand in hand, also i love the white paintjob looks sweet

[johnokane]

thanks very much guys. there quite and understated car and handle well with a few minor upgrades. as for the colour i wanted to keep it burgandy but as it was metallic i couldnt justify the cost as its only a runabout so it was painted in 040 toyota super white and it was only £55 whereas it would have been £400 + by the time it was burgandy. it will be back to burgandy soon tho - (when I'm rich again lol)

[markbognor]

This is fab. Good work fella.

[Speedle]

Epic stance! Is the anything minilites don't look awesome on? Love the Rally lights on the front too proper cool!

[renofan]

I learnt to drive in a humble burgandy 1.4 one of these. Loved it. And really loving your ZX's!

[hairnet]

how bout ye

that works

works colours would be good

how does the goof cope with the roads hehe

[dougalmagic]

I like this alot.

[village]

I am a fan of the ZX, although mine was only a dimension TD......

Great cars which handle very nicely and only make annoying banging noises from the rear subframe mounts when you go over bumps....

joking aside, yours looks mint!

to be honest i never drive it. its boring in comparison to the other cars. i custom built an air suspension kit for it although its on coilovers in the pics you see there.

That really works well, much better than i expected, nice one!
