    ABS Delete on an Early Model help

    So for the past 3 cars ive owned I havnt had ABS. First a protoge, then a a4 and my vr6 jetta didnt have abs either. I was also born and raised in Bflo, NY so i know driving with limited traction.
    My 87 35is doesnt have working ABS and ive always liked it better that way. havnt gottn into an accident because of it either. knock on wood!
    I want to take out all the parts that make the ABS work in my car. It looks like there are hard lines which control this. maybe im wrong. but i want to know if its even possible to delete such an integrated system.
    and are there write ups for this?
    Thanks
    m20 is plenty. im simply a drifter.

    You can replumb the brake lines and remove the ABS unit.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Or you could fix it and be safer. The fascination with deleting ABS really puzzles me.

        Fix the abs and use it to brake later into the corners. ;)

          I was never impressed when my ABS did work. It only have ice mode. Threshold braking is faster than ABS braking into a corner anyways.

            It's handy to use the abs to brake a little into the corner.
            Modern racers that are used to abs from the beginning use this actively. (With a bit more sophisticated race abs systems)

            ABS is also good to prevent flat spots on the tires.

              I prefer to use and progress my natural ABS system, so then when I do drive in a car equipped with it, I can fully utilize it.
