TX Models
Can someone give me the low down on the TX models? They're one i'm not familiar with spec wise, do I remember them being an updated/modernised/revised TG level?

Re: TX Models
Ta, thought it was near the top. Like TG trims, but unfortunately prefer TZ ones. Just. I do have a spare TG set from my dead 14 though if I change my mind One thing I didn't like particularly (from the piccies) is the silvery/chrome grill bit and the rear badges that TX's seem to have, looks a bit plastic-fantastic.

Re: TX Models
I think that George may have some TZD trims available from before he fitted Speedlines. Might be worth contacting him via Tim as I don't know how frequently he's on here.

Re: TX Models
The TXD comes with some, so unless they're awful I think i'll stop with them. Got some filler if the worst comes to the worst too, then I can paint them in-your-face-silver
What trims did TX's come with as standard?

Re: TX Models
I hate the bling of the TXD I must admit. The tailgate badges look like they came from Halfords and the chrome trim on bumpers and grille just looks wrong.
Re: TX Models
I think the bling on TXD models is fine, just part of owning a different model of BX.
The badges on my TZD are worse than those on my TXd and i rather like the chrome grill. Why on earth they didnt upspec the TZD to GTI trim and interior ile never know.

Re: TX Models
Collected it this evening, after various cock ups on london's transport system meaning I was an hour and a half late... But, wow what a car! It has a few issues, but it is the quickest car i've ever driven, even if it does smoke, and smoke it does - lots. Did I mention it smokes? Very much worth what I paid for it

Welcome to the turbo. Mine did smoke a bit too, however since adding Millers fuel additive its hardly noticeable now. A good idea if you tried some, it may help to clean the injectors internally.
Have fun with it and Smiffy too.

Re: TX Models
A clean air filter may help too, though they are very sooty by nature. You spot this especially when accelerating at night if someone's behind you!
EDIT - by the way Tom. How many threads are there about this car at the moment?!

Re: TX Models
I'll do a blog tomorrow and start the chatting there, make things a bit tidier. Noticed it's got a very dirty air filter, and the backbox is shot, rusty and holy so neither of those help I think. Wasn't as smoky today as last night, it was grey smoke today (black yesterday)
