Hello this is my first post. I signed up because me and a few mates are thinking of reliving the good ol' days of AX ownership. We are interested in making a AX track beast. Fully stripped to be as light as possible with coil overs the most powerful engine we can fit in it (hopefully). Has anyone had any experience with engine conversions in AX's? I've tried searching on the Internet but the only converted AX I have found is a VTR engine but these don't really offer any power gains over the AX GTi lump. What would be the possibility of cramming a Xantia 2ltr Turbo (150bhp) lump in a AX? Would this be physically possible and would you be able to use the Xantia's box? Or how about a Saxo VTS lump? Also what sort of weight would you be looking at for a stripped out AX? Thanks for the help!
