[simonb33]

hi I thought I would introduce myself my names simon I'm 35 and I live in cornwall I have a knight rider kitt replica which I have built its a full replica including all the electronics he also talks.
he has a chevy 350 5.7 v8 engine that I have upgraded somewhat he has edelbrock alloy heads , comp cams extreme 263 cam , roller rockers , hardened pushrods , timing chain , lifters , weiand action plus stealth inlet , holley 670 cfm carb all this was bought from real steel recentley.
ive fitted it all now but just need to tune engine which is not an easy task lol

ive also just bought a 1978 pontiac bonneville which I'm gonna maybe turn into a american cop car possibly lol
I have lots of early 3rd gen firebirds which I use for parts or sell bits off to fund my projects

Amazing! That dashboard looks incredible - did you build it yourself?

[simonb33]

yes mate everything was done by me and my mate

There's a KITT replica down the road from my parent's house, but I think it's just a V6 one, also an F-reg.

[simonb33]

ahh i think i may know that one is it full kitt or just outside replica

[fr€$h&m1nt¥]

Outside fair enough but that dashboard = Perfection.

Would love to see that at a show.

[Rusted Pistons]

Awesome, looks ace! Do you drive with that steering wheel or do you swap it when you get to shows? I've always wondered how anyone would be able to go around corners!

But does it have an ejector seat??

[Davenger]

That is properly awesome!

[Siert]

That's very special that you build that dashboard all by yourself.

Very cool.

But remember you have to wear the drivers seat like when "kitt " drives himself in the shows

Amazing how the drivers seat suddenly becomes huge with no hole in the headrest when michael isnt in there haha

[simonb33]

the gullwing steering wheel stays in its very easy to drive with and i prefer it .
yeah there was a driver hid behind the passenger seat with a mini steering wheel in the show lol was never drviers side

[simonb33]

no ejector seat yet but lots of other funtions kitt talks and all buttons work also the dash is functional including speedo , tacho , gauges etc etc

[bigperm]
