Looking good..

Although people say that a picture paints a thousand words, lets have some words to go with it..

What's the spec?

[dannykgordini]

The car has a Gordini head with bigger valves and loads of porting.Ive also stroked the engine to a 1600cc using a 84mm crank and larger Venolia pistons and en24t steel liners.Ive had custom manifolds fabricated, the exhaust manifold is equal lenth and was fabricated by Simpsons race exhausts.

You should speak with Tom Barnes from Andy Robinson's team. He had his Renault 5 GT Turbo at the Main Event and they were using it as a tow car. Pretty stock, back seats and carpets removed and nitrous hooked up as well as being lowered a fair bit. Looked it's age but solid and a lot of fun!

I did talk to Tom at main event he is also a member of the Renault Turbo owners club..

Got my injectors from the states today....
