Long time since I posted here so a big hi to all you fellow Alpine and RS owners.
After more than 2 years the 5 Turbo 2 is finally finished and on the road, we still have some snagging to sort (that is John at JL and me), but we arrived at a point that allowed me to enjoy my first Ring and SPA weekend just past.
The car has been prepared to FIA Group 4 regulations and therefore will be eligible for Historic events (unless they get really fussy about the RHD) engine wise John (JL Engineering) has built the motor to Cevennes Specification and therefore once is fueling right we should be around 240 BHP. Currently we are at 220 BHP @ 1 bar but plan to raise this to 20 PSI once we have made another visit to KMI for some further mods on the K-Jet. I have got to say, it drives & sounds amazing so a massive thanks to John where I can't fault the quality of work and attention to detail (I hope this is conveyed in the photo's)
It has been a long hard road but really worth it, at the Ring the car was a "show stopper" and was actually awarded "Ring Tool" of the day last Friday (on the Bridge to Gantry website, forum and Facebook page), not sure how much this meant but I lost count of people coming up telling me.
On the way home we had chance to misbehave on the autoroute with a 458, MP4-12C & R8, they were more than surprised when I was up there arses at 130mph (sat nav)
Hopefully I can join some of the regulars the sprint and club events over the next few months and hope you like the photos.
Cheers
Tony
P.S The BMW M3 had been eaten earlier in the lap
