I like it too. Is that IBM? Also the bottom picture looks like you have a R1 lip and the rest are 99 spec. Why did you change it? I personally like the R1 lip with the 93-95 front. The 99 still looks good, but not quite as good as the R1.

I like it, you have one shot of it your car is angled and it looks like you are higher up in the air and it looks amazing. I think your color looks great but i'm sure the car it is on helps too . You engine bay looks very clean too, keep up the good work.

What made you remove your ABS ?

I have been thinking of doing the same on my FD just not sure how to go about it... any pointers or write up that you know about would be helpful.

Also the pro/con of ABS deletion.

the color is very nice.. what is the color code or name ?

the only pros to removing the abs are weight and cleanliness of under the hood, oh yeah and you can do a powerslide if you want.

The car will not stop as fast without abs under any condition.

Not true, it has been proven over and over that you can stop as good or better if you actually know how to use your brakes, with that said and mine removed also, most people should leave it on the car as they can't seem to no wreck them even with ABS.

ive been reading on it for a little bit now...

this link says the only condition that non abs stops quicker is on a gravel like surface where the locked wheel with create a wedge for the car to stop against.

http://www.abs-education.org/faqs/faqindex.htm

can you point me to information that says that a non-abs car will stop quicker with a skilled driver?

Thanks for the nice words! I only removed the ABS to gain the space in the engine bay. I like not having that heat sheild there blocking the turbo and being able to easily acess the harness through the firewall. The ABS is pretty simple to take out, its making the new lines that is difficult. There is a how to pinned in the 3rd gen FAQ at nopistons. I got the idea from Vany Poo. :p
