Hey all
I don't post very often and I guess I can't put anything in the "Stock" Alpine thread anymore. After years of unreliability and below average performance I finally bit the bullet and purchased the full curved manifold, Weber carb, and K&N filter conversion kit from Jerome at Alpine Innovations UK, to replace my twin Zenith 36WIP setup. I had wanted to keep the car as original as possible but after spending a small fortune having the Zeniths professionally rebuilt they still ran poorly. I'm sure other people have a different experience with them but I had lost all confidence and wanted to enjoy driving a reliable car again.
Jerome was excellent to work with. The kit was I'd say fairly complex to install but what a huge difference it has made. I've put about 100 miles on the car since the install, all the issues I had previously have completely gone, and the car performs better than ever. Although I am still a purist at heart I highly recommend this upgrade/conversion for anyone struggling to keep their car running smoothly and reliably.
It's been 5 years since we last had the car at a show (2019 Tartan Day South in Columbia SC). I hope to see you on the road or at an event in or near Central Florida soon.
