Anything I would need to know about removing the cruise control?

 

CC is simple to take out. Search theres a little write up somewhere.

 

cruise control removal is very basic. there is a the black box you unplug the wiring to it. and then unbolt it. you climb under the dash and disconnect the CC cable make sure it's not the throttle one though haha.

The Integra RS doesn't have it, most (or all) of the older civics don't have it.

 

for removing abs, is there a trick to it or do i just simply take it out and all the wires coming from it,
i would hate to take it out and later find that it controlls all my brake lines

 

i've heard that once the rotors get heated up it is about impossible to lock them up anyway. is there truth to that?

Your brakes don't work as well when they get hot; hints why race crews spend R&D on brake venting/cooling. Hot brakes will lock up too.

 

If your taking out ps pm padawan, he sells kits for that.

 

Not true at all. Any car with out ABS is you really lay on the brake (both feet) at like 45mph all four wheels should lock up.


Heating your brakes up makes no difference.

 

does it just come right out or do i have to do something with it

Search, you have to get the brake booster off of an RS and some other stuff.

 

You can't just remove the ABS control unit, you have to remove all the lines in the front, prop valve and master cylinder/brake booster. Then, you have to install non-abs parts, the only lines you don't have to remove are the rear lines.

 

^^^ wow. is there a write-up anywhere to help ppl out w step-by-step instructions?

 

you don't know what these parts are, what they do, or whats involved in removing them... yet you want to get rid of features that were put on your car for a reason??

i think you need to learn/read more about your car first (do some investigation instead of just asking others to give you the answers) before you start tearing it up just to have a 'clean engine bay'.

When I bedded my Hawk HPS pads after my 282mm front brake upgrade, my ABS was still engaging on the 10th consecutive stop from 60MPH-5MPH with Yokohama ES100 tires. There was smoke rolling from beneath the car after the third stop. After the tenth stop, it looked like my car was on fire.

 

guess this is getting a little more complicated than it was meant to be, bottom line, things i dont need i want gone, i asked for imput and what things could be removed without having a negative effect. all i want to do is clean up the engine bay. hence the title
