I've not had ABS for ages, haven't had any problems. In the wet it locks up, obviously, but you learn to modulate the pedal properly.Do you not run the heat exchanger? I've got an oil cooler and thought about getting rid of the heat exchanger but figured for 2 pipes and a small about of weight it does no harm. ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

The heat exchanger was weeping oil anyway was glad to get rid of it lol. However I tried an Xsi radiator without the take off pipe for it and blanked off the one on the top hose on the 6 and soon as I booted it for any length of time the coolant temp would rise noticeably.... swapped back to a standard nissens rad and looped the 2 pipes together and no problems since? Either it wouldn't Bleed out completely with the top hose takeoff blanked or the rad I used was s**te but it didn't like it with boost. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Maybe because they have the EBD as well? ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I didn't have any issues with my abs kicking in too early on my phase 2 when i had it with the standard calipers. It weighed too much though so it went when i upgraded to 4 pots.________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

I've Never run a stnd Heat exchanger after mine failed & leaked & I just blanked the radiator take off & the Silicon hose take off & never had a water temp issue running TBs The ABS doesn't seem to work or kick in much with 330s which I'm glad of ...just want to remove it all & clear some pipework & the box out of the engine bay .. I'm in no rush it will be much easier with the engine out of the way |

I'm wondering if these phase 2 cars have working compensators! It makes a huge difference (once the rears have a bit of heat) to the amount of braking you can put in. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

The whole ABS systems weighs about the same as the twin fan unit I think, it's not particularly heavy!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Bought a couple of these to blank my Brake hoses...Saving on losing my expensive brake fluid all over my drive .... I've taken my Brembo V6 4pot Calipers off for (Godspeed) in Bridgend to totally refurb them ... Less than £1.50 each delivered from fleabay ....not worth making anything Day666 has attached the following image: |
