    Yet Another French Owner

    First post!

    Hello,

    I am 38 years old (almost 40...oh noooooooo) and owner of a 5 GT Turbo since 17 years.

    My first car was a 88' Phase 2 red one. I owned this car during 5 years as I give it to my brother after having bought a Renault Clio 16S.



    I bought my second GT Turbo 10 years ago. This is the car I drive today.

    So, it's a end of 87' Phase 2. As the engine was wrecked when I bought it, I decided to do some modifications...(forged internals, big valves head, hybrid turbo T28...)

    Engine before rebuilding :



    Engine after rebuilding :


    After this was how this car looked after that:



    I'm glad to join this forum and to look forward to meeting you at next RTOC meeting.

    I don't even put 30psi into my tyre's let alone the engine.

    Bet it surprises a few people with such a standard look to your car at so much boost.

    Lol, yes. Nobody believes that the C1J can support more than 20 PSI ....
