GPX ABS ??
Hey guys ,
quick question , I was sure all 95 GPX's came with ABS .. And I was sure mine did too ... Although now I read in the manual that when you turn the key on , you should see an ABS light show up for a few seconds ... Although when I turn my car on , I dont see this ABS light ...
Which tells me it may not be working ... Although , im not even entirely sure my car has ABS , Im sure it does ... Im just having a mental blank ..
I checked in the engine bay , and I can see ABS written on my fuse box , but the rest is in japanese ..
Is there any other way I can check this ? .. I thought of just driving and slamming on the breaks to see what happens but id prefer and nicer method if possible , lol ..
Cheers

It was an option up till 97 when it became standard.
Look at the top of your throttle body. If there is a whole bunch of small black rubber pipes running around then it has ABS.
Even easier... drive down a quiet street & slam on the brakes. If it locks up & slides, it does not have ABS. If it shudders violently & you feel the brake pedal pulsating beneath your foot - it has ABS.

Re: GPX ABS ??
Take a decent under the hood pic of your ride and either I or someone else can tell you if you got ABS.gazeek wrote: Is there any other way I can check this ? .. I thought of just driving and slamming on the breaks to see what happens but id prefer and nicer method if possible , lol ..

the brakes are the same as the evo3, if you were gonna change the discs then you should upgrade to slotted/drilled ones should pick some up for under 4 hundy. could fit them yourself easily.Oliver89 wrote:I Got ABS also with 4 Disc Brakes...
