Knightsport V-mount

The knightsports kit I have seen on Miguels Car does not look at al like your kit, and if you look at their pictures on how the piping is routed, you see that you clearly has recieved the wrong kit.
That might be an early knightsports kit. But certainly not the latest.

I think the one on Miguels car is an early version. They used those great looking Ron Davis radiators for a while with both inlet and outlet at the top of the radiator. I think they now use the radiator shown on B9 KLF\'s car with the horrible looking loop back at the bottom.

I think that I should have been given the radiator which was shown on RE Works web page at the time (see my earlier post with top fed radiator).

If Knightsport did want to substitute it then at the very least it should have worked properly. The set-up installed with a full undertray failed to perform on track or in town and despite numerous e-mails, RE Worx failed to do anything about it.

If the wrong rad was sent to RE Worx then that is for them to take up with their supplier. Looking at the Koyo rad that was installed, it has so many different blanked off sections that I am amazed that Knightsport would have issued anything like that.

Well my investigation will be completed as soon as I sort out a decent Japanese translator. Anyone know a good one?

Keith: Translator as in Reading a paper, or translator as in a webpage that translates text.. babelfish.av.com or http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/ works.. excite being the one that works best.

It seems pretty stupid for Knightsports to have one Rad/IC setup shown on their webpage, and sell another one to their customers.
And concidering their very very good rep in Japan, and all over the world.. I think it would be really stupid of them to send things that does not work.

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Check out the link below:

It\'s a car Newera sold modified by Knight Sports with their V-Mount and it\'s showing the same radiator setup as yours. Given this I\'m guessing it\'s how the KS V-Mount looks nowadays. Hope this helps.

It might be worth getting in touch with Miguel. He gets his car worked on at Knight Sports so should know better than most how their V-Mount looks nowadays and how it works.

True true.. Hadn\'t seen that one, then I guess it\'s good I decided to get another brand of vmount this morning when talking to Mig.. Not because of the rad but that just added on to my decision. But as Jake said. Call Miguel, he would know.

I know he is running with an AC and the "cell" is located infront of the rad, with custom made pipeing.

What brand are you going with then? Sorry for the thread hijack.
