Bloody well disguised too. Well, until you engage reverse and the bleeping starts.

Yeah, there is that goign for it.  *scampers off to investigate reversing sensors*

[Graeme Lambert]

Where actually are the sensors?

[techieboy]

Mounted in the centre of the rear reflectors, either side of the exhaust grilles.

[Graeme Lambert]

Cool. Subtle...

[FLD]

Yeah, that is quite good.

Somehow I missed this thread until today. Despite the fact it's a lotus, it's a very nice looking car ;-) The fact it has the right engine too makes is a very special car. :jealous: Oh and you're making the right decision to stay NA.

[The Batman]

Thank you sir

[rob999]

Yes I'm dead jealous of the deafening scream of the reversing sensors that pick up anything within a mile to the rear of the car

[The Batman]

Lol they don't do that! Really accurate I use em to reverse into my garage all the time! I do need to find it to try and turn the volume down though as its bloody loud!!

[The Batman]

well... no real work been done to the shed, other than take those hideous honda stickers of the car!!

 

but i found out my odd noise was my wheel bearing and this was confirmed when wobbling the wheel at 12 and 6 oclock (although im sure it was still doing it all the rest of the time aswell )

 

so me being me decided i could do it on my own if i bought a couple of tools! the wheel bearings on the shed are press fitted, so i went and bought a cheap press and followed the guide thanks to wonderful seloc

 

 

bish bash bosh!

 

 

so fitted that, but whilst i was there i might aswell change the front adjustable 7/8ths arb for a 1" one (every little helps right?!)

 

old

 

 

luckily i kept the arb mounts from the vx as this saved me £70 odd! as it doesnt use oem s1 mounts. i also swapped the bolts for screw type 13mm head bolts and setted the bar to stiffest setting, which took a little persuading! 

 

 

annoyingly i have basically killed a set of front 888s in 1000miles due to a crap geo and have worn the tyres out on the outside! so shows how crap the geo is. will hopefully get this sorted when matt b replies

 

i have also decided that the 200 odd horsies is enough for me at the moment and have put the intake manifold and headwork on hold until the winter and am going to do more trackdays and driving as this was all the mistakes i made with the vx!

 

anyways.. need a geo and then a trackday to test it all out right?!?

 

[Mangham54]

About time... Less Lego games and more #racedriver# time.

[The Batman]

Tell you one thing annoying about the arb is you need 2 bolts to replace the wishbone bolts with as on the s1 these bolts hold the arb on. I think these bolts should be part of the kit as if I didn't have spare suspension bolts kicking around I would be stuck

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

That's how George's 7/8th ARB was held on

[The Batman]

He must have changed the mounts. Never seen them mounts on anything other than a s1

[oakmere]

George ordered S1 mounts with the 7/8 bar by mistake I think?

[The Batman]

Silly sod!

[Acidpopstar]

Less tinkering + more playing = more fun. Hope to see you on a track soon
