Evening peeps
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

[nikp]

So, therefore, it\'s basically an intercooler!

[Tintin]

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

[Grizzly]

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??

[interloper393]

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

[Tintin]

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

[interloper393]

so you turn the rad around? have you any pics or guides to fitting a vmount?

[Tintin]

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

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

[Tintin]

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

[interloper393]

cheers bud, stupid question but how do you fill the rad up..:Hammer
