Might as well buy a MAP gas torch from the hardware store. If you're doing your own work then you're going to come across more frozen nuts and bolts. Torching it is so quick and easy and just overall makes your life nice instead of hell and gives you the rest of your afternoon back.

Just replace the calipers, they're not expensive or hard to do

When I've had them stick and the tiny nut rounded off I could grab it with vice grips and unscrew it.

They're great for snowmobiles, ATVs and whatnot where you have vehicles with very good power-to-weight ratios and the ratio range is usually quite low anyways

For cars... I don't like them. They feel very detached from the car itself, noisy as it rests at about the redline whenever you need to accelerate, shifting between driving and reverse is really slow, and properly engine braking is pretty much impossible outside of very specific descents and speeds

French here. I'm glad you're liking our cars. CX value is rising there. They have a nice spot currently in the used car market: It'll be cool in 5 years, they are cheaper than DS and more reliable than the XM. The motors are sturdy, and by sturdy i say Mercedes sturdy. The most common problems are rust and parts rarity. In france the cx isn't common because they were seen as trash for 20 years.

How many kilometers she have? Do you have rust?

Ips :secretly want a cx gti turbo

>what do you think about the Citroen CX?
Love it.
>is it a classical car which price will keep on raising?
yes, provided you have a exemplar in very good condition and/or the higher trims like 25 gti turbo 2, 25 prestige turbo... 22 is not high trim but if it's in very good condition it might well increase in value.
>swapping the engine for a turbo and the trans for an automatic
might be feasible, don't know how much effort it would need. But not a good idea if you want to keep it all matching and have a raising value.
>is it possible to buy a mint condition engine and tranny from europe and ship it to kazakhstan?
Possible? Of course. Easy? Absolutely fucking not. You will have to rummage through a LOT of classifieds to find an original engine in good condition from a turbo. Plus those M-series engines existed only in the CX, no other Citroen got them. You might be better off trying to import a complete (and mint) 25 gti turbo.
>what should I look for when I go to check it out?
Leaks in the hydraulic circuit. Check that it works well, make the car go up and down a few times, it should do so without noise and relatively fast. if possible, have the guy show you maintenance records for this car. Hydraulic fluid changes should appear. This supension system is GOAT but it takes some effort to keep it in good shape.
Other than that, regular old car stuff: oil leaks, does it start when hot/cold, how does the oil/coolant look like, does it shift OK...

flooded but not to the point of totaled and cleaned by a small dealer lot.

Forester is nice OP, what purpose will it serve?

>>17882347
Started my own IT business, need more room to haul in more than the bed of my truck. Have a baby on the way as well.

I live in the middle of nowhere and we also get pretty large snow drifts, so need to be able to get in and out of my driveway that's a mile long. I'd like something with more ground clearance personally, but my Bronco will have to suffice if I can't get something high enough.

>having kids
>buying a shitty crossover
might as well just cut your dick off faggot.

So you can write funny messages and DIY rally liveries in the dirt when you park.

Because you don't fucking think, the same reason as for all your other fuckups.

Because you touch yourself at night

>instead of being exclusive to the Opel and Vauxhall models, the turbo V6 is now only available in the US-market clone, the Regal GS
