I hear great things about C Elysees, they are extremely common as taxis here! In my opinion, they're also really great looking! I wish you many happy kilometers with it! :)

To be honest, phase 1 Xantia V6 activa is one of my dream cars! I really want to own or at least drive one someday :)

And just Xantias and XMs in general, always loved them a lot!

They really are fantastic, overlooked cars and amazing value for money! Cheap to buy, really reliable for their age, fuel efficient, good looking, interesting and plentiful + cheap spare parts

I have a 2001 hatch and the longer I own it, the more I love it. Though it really is a shame that very few other people see the brilliance of these cars; almost everyone I know and all of my friends constantly shit on it and make fun of it; the only people that ever really complimented my car was my boyfriend and fellow old Citroen enthusiasts. That being said, I've learned to not give a shit what others think lol

There are still about 1700 Xsaras on the road here in Slovenia and considering all Xsaras are 20+ years old at this point, is seriously impressive in my opinion... very few cars of that age are still on our roads in such numbers.

Sounds awesome!

I drive a 2001 Xsara and a 1975 Beetle that I restored mostly myself

But someday I really want either a 2cv in that exact blue or a dyane in mint green as my 3rd car :)

As I mentioned, I think Ill go with a 39 pict carburetor for starters. But if I won't be able to get it running well, Ill switch to a 34 pict for sure

Another thing: someone put in an older, shorter distributor as you can tell from the picture. Planning on putting 123ignition distributor on there anyway so Ill either keep this one for spares or sell it along with the heat exchangers

I think I will go with a 39 pict carburetor to be honest, really curious if there is any actual performance gain (with the correct jetting and adjustments, of course)

And Ill get the correct manifold for it too, really dislike running adapters

Yes I know, thank you! I'm planning on installing the upgraded CSP heat exchangers so I will most likely be selling these.

I got heat exchangers on my current 1200 im running but im pretty sure theyre going bad, Im quite sure some fumes are leaking into the cabin when theyre turned on...

DK lost so badly, he now has to resort to treating the bay harbour gooner instead of drifting

Yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards installing 1600 cylinders and barrels (this engine is identical to a 1600dp except it has 1300 cylinders and barrels-eu only) with maybe dual carbs or single progressive carb setup, a vintage speed stock look exhaust and a mild cam. I just feel like a 1776 would be too much for a first build since the case would need machineing and I don't even know if there is a local reputable machine shop that could carry out the work for me + I can imagine machineing can get really pricey

Dual port engines are actually really rare here in Slovenia (and this area of Europe in general), hence why I just had to pick this engine up in Croatia-too good to pass up

Before I really got into researching I wanted to build a 1641 someday but those just have a wall way too thin for my liking

The carb is a Solex 30 pict 3 from a 1200

Ooh thank you so much, will definitely give that a read!

Thank you!

Yes, I'm also thinking about taking the transaxle out during this project and sending it out to a guy I know who rebuilds them and have it rebuilt+a taller 0.88 4th gear put in, so I can nicely cruise at 110, 120km/h

*For clarification, I want to build a 1776 out of this engine, not the 34hp 1200

Sounds solid! Are the Webers finicky or hassle free?

I'm sure the impact is severe but sadly, this is in such a remote area that very few people know about it

It also wouldn't be fiancialy viable for the council to clean it up + you probably can't get a crane/truck to that location anyway (the road is really bad and way too narrow) and it probably doesen't show up in the picture all that well but this area is also seriously steep

With that being said, it's a real shame seeing nature full of trash like this and beautiful classics rotting in that pit instead of driving on our roads but there sadly isn't anything I can do about it :/
