ABS Leave or take out???

[Famous jh]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck it out!

abs works by solenoids releasing the pressure on abrake line that sensor detects the wheel locking then locks/unlocks it many times a second to slow ya down instead of skidding into the ditch haha. traction control will try stop ya gettin her arse out

either way its outta there

Can the nct test for either of these? Obviuosly there is the warning light but if that was removed I assume they couldn't fail it for not having any?

[rdec1701]

nct will fail ya if the light is on in the dash or if there is abs and light does not come on to self check n den go out like normal, or any of the components like sensors pipes etc are still on the car but not connected,

so ya jus have to whip everythin out and leave no visible trace

This on an Omega ste??? Take it out, its dangerous

Yup the tramper chuckles

with the abs in the car steve she wont kick out ..... the idea of abs is to make braking easyer in a road car so that the car wont just lock up when u JAM ON !!!

So in other words .... the abs wont allow ya to slide !
So pull it out !!!!

it slides no problems at all

ABS is a pain in most lowered cars i've driven, mostly BMW's.

With the lowered suspension i reckon the wheels weren't traveling up and down as much as standard spec, so over a bumpy road while braking from high speed, the wheels were 'skipping' so to speak. A couple of times this happened and the ABS thought there was something wrong and decided to take matters into its own hands, nearly putting me and the car over the hedge in the process.

It obviously has its benifits on a road car, but even on my road going Beemers i usually pull the fuse as the cons out weigh the pro's in my experiance. (with lowered cars anyway)

Dropage is on the way also, cheers lads
