Cool ABS Removal

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Lis...member=1586234

was there ever an SVX made without ABS ???

the above post shows engine bay with ABS removed - here in NZ I believe that constitutes having to require a modification certificate?


Is this Trevor Crowes company ???

Re: ABS Removal

I posted in your other thread too. But the driver's seat looks like its removed. And also, the whole brake system is removed-no master cylinder or brake booster.

It's a right hand drive car so the brake booster is on the other side.

In the picture of the engine bay, you can see the master cylinder cap on the left side of the picture, the right side of the car, where the steering wheel is.

Cool Re: ABS Removal

It is not a low spec model - check out the stereo control on the steering wheel ????

So the only reason to remove ABS is that "Trevor" wanted to take it off road - hence ABS on gravel does not get enough feedback to driver when rallying ???

Did he really want to rally it?
Or was it just a trade in since does have a workshop and cars sale at the same site.
Ive heard alot of guys are not happy with buying cars or parts off crowe sport.

They have a few really neat subarus there.
One is a Legacy ute and the other is the forester engined Justy race car.

Cool Re: ABS Removal

From my reading of LTSA/LTNZ site...

The ABS removal and/or airbags removal requires a special vehicle certificate.
Can not get these for normal production cars. Must be a special purpose vehicle or a special .

The repair/replacement (airbags) requires authorised service who has a LTNZ account (web server login).

In the U.S. the 1994 and 1995 "L" models (Front wheel Drive) had Power 4 wheel disc NON-ABS braking system.

If you added the Active Safety Group to the L models, you got AWD and anti-lock brakes.
