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? Steve in NZ |

Re: ABS removal
Were there JDMs that the lowest option had no ABS?
Obviously the 2wd L models in the US in 94 and 95 did not have ABS. Edit: I is a Last edited by 1986nate; 02-23-2010 at 01:14 PM. |

Re: ABS removal
Here in NZ we are RHD, you are right the drivers seat looks like it has been removed - maybe for working on a leaking master cyclinder under the dash ??

Re: ABS removal
strange...
I like the tow bar The only thing I have to add is that the "boxer" throttle body/intake cover is missing. But, other than that it looks very clean and well cared for.

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 ??? |

My 94 LE model did not have ABS, but I have seen L models that did have ABS and some that did not. Lee

I think that car is in lovely condition. In Japan when they were launched in 1991 the top of the range SVX was the "Version L". Version L cars had practically all extras you could wish for. They had leather and powered 4WS and cruise and ABS and automatic dimming lights etc, etc. You could get a Version L car without a sunroof, so that was optional, but they had mostly everything. I have a Version L car same colour scheme as this one. The lowest spec Alcyone SVX was the "Version E" This car you are seeing here is a Version E in base spec for Japan. My first Claret and Black car from Japan was a Version E, same spec as this one. It came without ABS and if you look at the bulkhead behind the engine you will notice it does not have cruise either. My one also had the same controls on the steering wheel. These are for the radio stereo. It comes equipped with a single din tuner amp and a single din single CD player, Panasonic just like all standard SVX stereos. The buttons on the steering let you change channels and mute the radio. I never found the lack of ABS to be a problem, the brakes were safe and not inclined to lock up. I loved it. If you look carefully you will notice it has green glass. All my UK silver ones have that hideous not-dark-enough bronze glass, and my jdm 94 silver has blue glass. The blue glass is not too bad, but it's not a patch on the green. Also I prefer those alcantara seats to the leather ones. They are more comfortable. Another nice feature if you look closely at the mirror controls, you'll notice it has the mirrors that close by servo motor at the press of a button. That's a Japanese Version E in base spec. Joe

Re: ABS removal
In the U.S. most 1994 and all 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. .
