upgrading the rear sway bar to 16mm? I found a eibach rear bar on another e30 at the yard. And I figured it wouldn't hurt it. But I also don't want the car to feel too neutral.Build Thread

What does depressing the clutch while the ABS is active do?

it's for engine braking control.
if you lift the throttle without putting in the clutch on an icy surface and the wheels slip, the mercury switch on the driver's side will stay open (open = you're not slowing down) and it will open the ICV (by sending an on/off signal to the DME on C101 pin 19), which should reduce engine braking and stop you from slipping.
Basically, it's a really crude, early version of ASC/DSC.

Wow, learn something new everyday. So in dry conditions, driving along in 4th gear I let off the throttle and the car slows down.
If icy conditions, I let off the throttle and something different happens?
I never noticed it in all my time in the mountains, but then again I've never had trouble in the iX in snow/ice. ;)sigpic
