myKITT.de - My Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica

One of my former fellow students had to make some photos with the topic "car wash"... So he asked me to use K.I.T.T. for it... Some of the pictures will be available on this website soon...

Today, I got K.I.T.T. back from the paint shop, where the new Knight Passions frontnose has been fitted and painted.

To finalize my replica of K.I.T.T., we just installed the new frontnose by Knight Passions. This frontnose has always been my first choice, but my donor car already included a frontnose by Custom Projects, so I first kept it. But now I finally decided to exchange the frontnose. The front openings contain some metal grills, so the complete light section had to be changed.

I often get requests from people, who'd like to visit K.I.T.T. or make photos of him. Normally, I decline for time reasons. Today, I made an exception for Alexander, who studies Journalism in Hannover. His final paper is a car magazine. So K.I.T.T. will be a good addition to it.

On Mai 1st the new season for K.I.T.T. opened. Since I was not at home this weekend, I finally took him back on the road today. Season 2009 - we're back!

I just created a little videoclip about "K.I.T.T. at the AMI":

» watch videoclip

The scenes were filmed on April 4th 2009 - one of the few days, when the dash electronics were turned on and K.I.T.T. was speaking. The voice comes directly from the car.

Kevin Schröder, a visitor of the AMI fair, sent an image of K.I.T.T. in High Dynamic Range.  Thanks a lot! I guess, I'll have to make some more images like that in summer, when K.I.T.T. got his new frontnose...

On March, 26th 2009, I brought my K.I.T.T.-replica to the AMI fair in Leipzig. A camera team of N24 did some shots and a small interview with me. The car can be seen from March, 28th to April, 5th 2009 at the AMI fair in Leipzig.

Before K.I.T.T. can be exhibted at the AMI 2009 fair, some little work was necessary. The power windows have been repaired, the black scanner cover was removed and the interior of the car was cleaned by covering all visible cables.

I originally decided to get the 3rd-season-frontnose from Knight Passions, but the pre-owner of my car already installed a 4th-season-frontnose from Custom Projects. So I first kept that nose. Now, I finally decided to get the Knight-Passions-front for a perfect look, which arrived today.

Just at the end of 2008, I was able to fetch K.I.T.T. from Hamburg. The motor runs fine and had no problems during the 400 kilometer trip. The reason for the starting problems was a fault in the air-mass flow sensor, which has been solved now. So 2009 will become a better season. It starts on May, 1st...

Unfortunately, K.I.T.T. still does not run. So I decided, to take the car to a professional garage for American cars in Hamburg. Let's hope, those guys will bring K.I.T.T.s engine back to life now.
