Series 1 2.0Si, LE-Jetronic, non-turbo. The space it fits in at the
front of the drive is a little tight, but I cut a tall enough bit off
the filter and it *just* squeezes in. How well it actually works I
don't know.
My mate who has
a PDP-11/73 (we think, it's an OEM thing) has two RL02s.
The intake air filters have been replaced by cut-down Citroen XM air
Which model of XM (I can't believe they all take the same air filter, I
know for a fact that the petrol and diesel BXs take totally different air
filters, for example). I might well want to give this a go... I am already know to be mad by the local Citroen
dealer. I'm the guy who
orders all sorts of little parts rather than a complete assembly (my time
doesn't cost anything, so it's worth me rebuilting a unit rather than
replacing it). The thought of getting an air filter and telling them it's
for my computer seems rather fun :-)
Heh. I went in to get bits for my 1989 Citroen CX 22TRS, and the spotty
oik behind the parts counter had never ever *heard* of those. He *did*
know that some had "that funny air suspension that goes up and down" but
he wasn't allowed to work on those.
It's funny, there seems to be a correlation between retro computing and
unusual cars, doesn't there. This thread is about to go off-topic...
