ok, been under the rev5 turbo and found some cool bits! PHOENIX POWER PLAQUE!

[jimGTS]

ok purchased some awsome car ramps, can take 9.5inch tyres, but is 11.5inch wide! and from what i can see, will easy take 11inch wheels!
can also take 5.5tons!!! pricey at £85, but the only thing i would trust, as not keen on those crappy £40 halfords 7inch wide metal ones!

REALLY should have bought these years ago! i feel so much more comfortable working under the car now....lightweight, lots of grip, quality!


anyway....

from what i saw, a few random bolts that seem to show the sump has been taken off. few clips/clamps around the inlet manifold to indicate the manifold had been off to.

i also found a PHOENIX POWER plaque on the apexi turbo kit downpipe...
im asuming the downpipe is custom made by phoenix power.
plaque read
"phoenix's power
sw20-345-009"

unfortunatly there was no way of taking a pic of this.



can any confirm or comment on these pics ive taken this evening.....

looks like you have advan neova tyres looking at the tread,

if you cant see the endless logo on your brake lines?

[jimGTS]

could see the "less" bit, just couldnt get close enough or a decent photo of them to make out what it said. as mentioned, i was doing this in the dark, lol.
plus i dont no much bout the brake line stuff, so didnt recognise the name.

and yep, i have those tyres you mention.

[lockys96]

might want to check some of this

[lockys96]

mine has neova tyres all round still on the bbs lm's, pp seem to like them

[Slarty]

ARB is stock colour so......

Also yup on the endless brake lines, maybe have their pads too?

[jimGTS]

well there's blue pads with CCR written on there to, and grooved discs. Tho didn't think to take a pic of these, doh!
Maybe same make I guess as the lines.

Tho I plan to change these to my CRN zinc(?) coated groove discs and redstuff pads. Taken off my rev2.


How would I know if I have abs? The cars a GT but have heard abs isn't great? As I wanted to fit a brake booster support in the frunk, heard they won't fit with abs.

[Quigonjay]

thats an abs wire going in to the hub on the pic you are asking about the arb ^^^^^^

[benGT]

can you get the neovas easily in the UK?
I have them on my recent import and really like them!

Also Jim, would you get a low MR2 up those ramps?

[jimGTS]

well mine is slammed, but stock bodywork, so hard to say if you got spats or an aftermarket lower rear bumper.

Up front, highly dout it if lowered and stock bumper, let alone any aftrermarket front bumpers.

Same as my 2 then, excellent.

yokohama advan neova are very hard to ome by over here, lotus elise run very similar from factory, but only in 1 size

[jimGTS]

luckily for me theres still a good 7mm of thread on there, if not more...

[Mikey P MR2]

yokohama advan neova are common to many lotus and can be bought in 17" and 16" fairly easily if you shop round exspencive though £150 each normally.

[jimGTS]

i got 18s, oh dear, lol...
