Evening peeps :D
been chatting to a guy fae swedan whos bought one of these:

and he says it great, well made on fits like a glove, has anyone used one before? looks way to cheap.. and its big :Thumbs-up
I saw them a while back when I first started looking into getting a v mount ,
the things that stood out to me were you still need a rad and you need to make your own brackets , if you have the kit to weld ali then this may not be a problem
Whats the guy in sweden said about the fitting ???
So, therefore, it\'s basically an intercooler!
Thats what it looked like to me , however an IC thats designed to be mounted in a v mount configuration
If I\'m wrong I just payed alot more than I needed to :(
From what i\'ve seen upto now there is alot of stuff missing from that!
But price wise it is a starting point that could be worked with??
he said the fitments near enough perfect... if you make your brackets and buy the piping, is that it? iv got the alloy rad n ast anyways.. cheapest v-mount iv senn is 900, so a fair bit cheaper lol.. think im gunna give it a go, if it dont work i`ll resell it on ebay for a nova :Hammer adds 100bhp :Thumbs-up
think im guna go and buy this :D
You may aswell if your not phased by making the brackets and messing around making it fit , remember though the rad neds mounting the opposite way to the standard mounting
Keep us informed of your progress , theres a thread on one of the american forums where a guy built his own setup
so you turn the rad around? have you any pics or guides to fitting a vmount?
Right its taken me half the morning but I\'ve finally found that thread where the guy put together his own v mount http://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465153&highlight=v-mount (http://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465153&highlight=v-mount)
The brackets are a bit OTT in my opinion but it might give you a slight insight into how things need mounting
The rad goes the opposite way so the top is angled towards the engine , you also need to relocate the battery and get rid of the AC
Theres a thread on here somewhere think Wav built his own , I\'ll have a search see if I can find it for you

This is the thread about wav\'s setup , I\'m sure if you PM\'d him he\'d be happy to give you some more info
cheers bud, stupid question but how do you fill the rad up..:Hammer
