Just showin off!
Hi guys,
I have been searching the net for a real hot rod forum and I believe I finally found one. So here I am! Just thought I would make my first post a little show and tell about my rod. It is not your usual hot rod, but just like all the rest of you, my heart, soul and a large percentage of my paychecks went into it. I am talking about a 67 Sunbeam Alpine. No, not your normal Alpine, but rather a fully custom, fuel injected, 12psi intercooled turbo, 1.8L motor. It is custom from head to toe. The most obvious part is my intake manifold and throttles. I used the throttle bodies from a CBR900RR and built an intake manifold to connect them straight to the head. To distribute the air into the motor is a nice and shiny aluminum pressure manifold. And this is just the beginning. There are also the custom aluminum 7 quart oil pan, the injectors installed directly in the head, and an oil distribution manifold that will make your head spin. If I have peaked your curiosity you can check it out at www.myturboalpine.com Click on any of the pictures and you will see a description of each stage and many more pictures to boot!
I Look forward to reading about all your cool projects. Gotta love the hot rod hobby!

Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
