How does H-T feel about removing ABS from a true GSR integra?
I want to take mine out, but at the same time I don't want to depreciate the value of the car and ruin a gsr.
I think the lines and box are all extremely ugly.

Would you take yours out if it didn't work? Or keep it there because GSR?

 

If it does not work and your not going to fix it, remove it.

Of course it will devalue the car, by more then if the car has a non working ABS system, ABS parts are not cheap. 94

 

Your insurance rate will be cheaper if you have it.

 

nothing that special about a gs-r...if you dont like it, and its your vehicle, remove it.

 

I would not take it out. I have driven cars with and without ABS, and ABS is a lifesaver. When you panic stop, you tend to slam on the brakes rather than modulate for the best traction as the ABS does. This means you plow straight forward, often off the road or into an object, rather than being able to steer out of danger. The car can also yaw or rotate as different wheels brake differently due to traction differences and such. I would fix whatever is wrong with it and keep it at almost any cost.

 

If mine worked or was in a condition to work I'd keep it but mine's too far gone. If your only worried about how it looks leave it.

 

Don't remove it!

 

That is inexperience talking. Got to learn how to keep your cool under all circumstances. I hate abs and traction control!!! IMO it make a vehicle unpredictable because you never know when it is going to kick in.

 

keep the abs is my vote. forget the whole "tucked bay" fad. function over form, son. I hate when ricers rip out **** to "save weight." finding power steering brackets and lines for my gsr which someone decided to take out for some reason has been a total nightmare.

 

Maybe so, but I would say most drivers are inexperienced with accident avoidance. The only ones who aren't are experience race car drivers.

 

I just ordered all the stuff to remove my abs as well. (4 front brake lines & the 40/40 valve of the RS)

My pump doesn't work, makes a terrible noise and just flat out annoys me.
I don't like it, so I plan on removing it. It's your car.

It DOES devalue your car, but if your like the "rest of us" you may plan on keeping your car long anyways.

ABS is a safety feature, but its all personal preference.

Here's the how-to I'm going to follow.

If you remove the abs. Take off the sensors at the wheels too and sell em.

 

i've already decided on removing power steering (the right way with a civic rack and UCM) personally i don't like how power steering feels.

 

no power steering isn't so bad...at first feels like a workout but it's only takes effort on turns from dead stop such as parking.

Was going to install the power steering pump but actually like the engine bay without the pump...looks cleaner

 

id rather not have abs. if you can learn to pump the brakes when coming to a sudden stop rather than slamming the brakes, youll be fine. plus engine braking helps as well.

 

if its a daily then why the hell do you need to save like 15lbs taking out the ABS. if it's a track car, sure, gut it to hell.


personally i love power steering. i like being able to steer with one finger. right now i have no power steering and i don't mind the effort it takes to turn the wheel. i have upper body strength. but i'm going the complete opposite direction, gonna put the power steering back in and upgrade it with a quaife input gear so i have super responsive, nice power steering.

hey everyone has different tastes.

 

I have a VX so I have no PS or ABS and it is currently gutted behind the front seats. Not because for weight though but no one realize that when they look at my POS. I have to weld in a new rear quarter before I put the full interior back in since it is a requirement in the classes I race.

If you would have said that initially, I would have agreed but you generalized everyone who trys to lose weight as ricers and that is not the case. My DD is a boat and I could care less because it is comfortable as a lazyboy!lol

 

I saw remove it.....

Hey that's a decent write up I think I might do the same when I rip my car apart to paint the engine bay black.

 

well a vx hatch literally has no need for p/s at all lol. and no I am just sore about the last person that owned my integra because not only did they rip out the power steering, they completely drained the rack and left it empty. lol.
