Whats the difference between a R5gtt Phase I and a Phase II?

whats the main differences?

Thanks

Spax

RSKieron

From what I remember - Colour coded Bodykit, different front grille, different wheels, uprated power, lower suspension.

Always wanted a "Raider".....

Spax

Is there any other features that disguise them?

I think i'm looking at a Phase 2 altho the door cards look different to my old one, my old one has grey carpet affect ones these look grey plastic?

Agree with RSkieron - I think the phaseII had the extra heat sheilding for the carb - so it might start when its hot!
Almost no un-modded ones left - so spec and trim is bound to be wrong anyway.
One of my customers has got a mint mercury grey one, totally standard,low miles lady owner. But they wont sell it to me for any amount of money!

Here is some more differences for you

suspension set up,

ride height (ph2 's are lower)

steering rack (ph2's have a different connection to the steering column)

tyres...i think the ph1's had 185/60's as standard whereas the ph2's have 195/55's

ph1 alloy wheels are considerably lighter than the ph2 alloys....

centre facia/dash is different on ph2's

if you got the electric pack fitted to your ph1 then the buttons are added onto the bottom of the radio housing.

the steering wheel boss is also different on a ph1.....solid metal on ph2...rubbery covered thing on ph1...

the heat shield is metal on ph1, glass fibre on ph2.

tinted glass as standard on ph2...clear on ph1...

no rear spoiler on ph1....

mounting brackets for exhaust's are also different.

fuel filter is different......small on ph1, large on ph2.

door cards are plastic on ph1...corduroy covered on ph2..

seats covers are grey with check on ph1.

R5's are fun little motors Quick as well, well upto about 70ish

cossiecrew

my point exactly cheers westy good for round town but shit after that

Stoo

Dont phase1's have vent on the rear quarter plastic trim?

discodenkelly

Yeah the trim that is below the rear light cluster on a phase 2 is smooth and on a phase 1 looks vented but I don't think it is

My mate had a phase 1 but with phase 2 kit etc etc. Nice thing with stage 3 lump and bigger turbo. Just couldn't handle the boost so kept popping head gaskets!!

He got shot last week
