Alright guys, just finished cleaning my car today, so i took some pics with my phone and heres how ya do it.

step one. open the hood.


step two. look for the abs control system.


heres a better picture of it.


step three. you basicly hold it and pull up and it comes off.



And there ya go. to put it back in, you plug it in and push down.

These are the following errors you will get when you unplug the unit. Thanks to Tommy for making all of this possible!

it was the only logical way to dyno my car to get accurate results. also if you take away the abs, it makes the esp, ets system useless.

Looks like I'm off to see if I can rent out a local speedway that isn't in use anymore....flat, slick surface should be fun to play on. But we will see, I'm unsure if I'm ready to drift it yet. Thanks again for the tip.

If anyone lives near Valencia, CA...Some friends and myself are trying to get a group together so we can rent out a track that has been abandoned and is only used for SWAP MEETS. Name of the place is Saugus Speedway, hopefully we can get some MB people out if we get this thing rolling!

I do it when the car is cold, few minutes after starting it, jus locate an empty long strip of road and slam it violently and watch the gears and tires peel off

Alright, I've sent an email to the owner to reserve the entire track for a day and I'm waiting for a reply. Hopefully we can get this thing rented out! Here's a overhead picture taken from Google Earth.

Looks like a negative on the Saugus Speedway track....


Dear Friend



Unfortunately, we have no racing insurance and the track surface has not been revived in

Well over 2 years. There are cracks and some small potholes in the center of the track.

Before we go any further with discussions regarding rental, you would have to furnish us with a $3,000,000

General Liability Policy that INCLUDES racing/automotive stunt driving, listing

us as “additional insured, non contributory endorsement applies”. You would be using the track in an “as is”

condition.
