mates just bought a c2 loeb

[stokesy]

its a 1.6 16v, bout 130bhp standard i think he said, think he said it had a turbo, i dno, but seems like a nice car and preti quick..

this may sound stupid, but....
the suspension.. torsion bar i assume??
and the front springs, will they be the same springs as for saxos??
and exhaust system? will saxo parts fit on the c2?

cheers

[Jungle_Jim]

oh i saw one of these at a citroen dealer not too long ago, didnt even know about them before, they look pretty good in the metal

[browne174]

As far as i know, they are a 1.6 16v N/A engine, puts out 125bhp iirc

this is the only c2 i would actually drive, but the c4 loeb is awesome

[Dave89]

They look pretty smart but I'm pretty sure they did nothing to it other than add fancy new wheels and possibly a spoiler? Like they did with the C4 Loeb edition.

[Jungle_Jim]

wasnt it lowered with racing seats and wider flared wheel arches ? not sure though

[stokesy]

i dno the engine specs for defo..
thats just what he's told me..
cba to look it all up..
but is a preti nice car tbf..
any1 got any ideas bout the exhaust or suspension??

[swampy]

125bhp
not realy that quick.
Not impressed by the c2 vts i went out in at all, ran out of steam not far in to 3 figures?

That will make two in the boro now then!

[craigy_87]

[titchster]

TU5JP4S engine, aka the Saxo lump, with bigger valves, and the C2 VTS inlet manifold. ;)

[swampy]

[JamesR]

Seen a C4 loeb and thought it was fake and they guy had sprayed the alloys himself and got the badges made.

What BHP the C4 Loeb got?

[titchster]

Same 125bhp as the VTS.

110bhp if its the diesel 180bhp if its the petrol

[titchster]

the 125hp 1.6i 16V C2 by LOEB can reach a top speed of 126mph, is equipped with 16” alloys, and comes in either Sport Red or Black. Inside, it

features a red and black cloth seating trim with embroidered chevrons on the front head restraints, a leather steering wheel and the use of chrome trim.

The suspension is springs all round. Rear strut brace standard.

[AlexR]

The rear is torsion beam with springs. So shitter than a saxos basically ;)

[D--R--E--W]

absolute bollocks mate, ma bird has a c2 vts and they are slow bits of shit with pish interior but the handlin would blow a saxo away...

hard into a corner and the esp kicks in and controls the car for you at the fastest possible speed

[stokesy]

so to hav it lowered, itll need the torsion bar doing, along with all 4 springs replacing im assuming??

ESP = handling? o.o

Personal opinion obviously, but i would have thought the C2 would have a nicer interior (marginally, i know its still shit in there) and be as quick as a Saxo in a straight line. ESP will keep the car pointing straight and stop wheelspinning so therefore possibly understeer, but it does kill the fun. In my car anyway.

[AXracing]

this may sound stupid, but....
the suspension.. torsion bar i assume??
and the front springs, will they be the same springs as for saxos??
and exhaust system? will saxo parts fit on the c2?

Coil on both the front and the back.

The cars is not based on the AX like the 106 and Saxo so they exhausts are not interchangeable.

the c2 vts is knowhere near as quick as a saxo vts. and is the esp thing not like a traction control?? it flashes and stops you from sliding out on corners so....


and yes IMO the interior is gash.... very uncomfy

[TU-Tuning]

C2 VTS/VTR/GT are saxo VTR speed. C2 has more electronic wizardry so anyone can drive them fast, imo the Saxos handle better if you can drive and theyre a fuck load more fun. Do like the C2s though

[titchster]

lol, if a VTS is VTR speed, then the GT/VTR is less, they're 110bhp opposed to the VTS's 125bhp. ;)


And the Saxo VTS is quicker than the C2 VTS, because let's face it, the C2 has got 5bhp more, and a fair chunk more weight...

and has a shit gear ratio

[deanomx206]

all the loebs were red ... they didnt make a black one
its same engine as the vts... therefore big let down

[deanomx206]

i stand to be corrected.. just found a black one on ebay... look crap imo

I wouldn't say there same speed

Vtr is slow as fuck (due to gearbox) 10 + seconds to 60

GT is VTR pace

Vts is about 8.3 seconds to 60

If they were all the same speed there would be no point in having 3 models.

[hellonpluto]

here he is

[vtrlogan]

[mattknight1984]

Haha, they are slow as shit then!

[vtrlogan]

wtf? owned

idd mate, the vtr ran 16.6 at santapod

Haha, they are slow as shit then!

yep they are slow, and thats the loeb one aswel,

i think they are ment to be light weight as they dont have aircon..lol there shite. end off D:

[hellonpluto]

has the vtr been moddied?

that seems to abosultly murder the "125bhp" c2

lol did you not read what I said earlier in the thread? I said a friend's mum had one in black, then you say they didn't make one...lol.

[TU-Tuning]

The best ones the Derv, theyre pretty rapid after a remap. The 5bhp increase in the petrol variant is pathetic, shame Citroen only got their boosted variant sorted more recently, the 175 brake 207 lump (same as the Phase two MINI Cooper S) would have made the C2 much more interesting.

But its a decent engine for Spaxos :D
