86 Rx7 BRAKES

So I hope this doesn't go in the "bad questions" category...

I want to know if my rx7 has ABS.


Here's the catch...

*I bought it second hand so there' s ALOT missing and changed on it.

*The brake master cylinder is warped I want to replace it, but I don't want the wrong part.

*The electrical interior does not light up, so if it does have it, the lights won't tell me.

*It is capable of having the automatic suspension, however, the motors to do so are removed. (and the suspension installed now is blown anyway...)

*I've searched on line to find out how... one site said to drive crazy on a wet road where no one is around and hit the brakes hard and see if they kick in (that sounds safe!!)...
-Another site said just look at the interior lights... as I mentioned they are non-op...

So, how can I tell?

Please don't judge me for being a newbie...

If you have brake lines routed to a large cylinder on the passenger side of the engine bay, you have ABS. It's a pretty obvious mess of extra brake lines. But for the record, I don't think any '86 had ABS.

cool thank you so much! I just bought the repair manual and I guess it's a little misleading then...
