It's not going to feel any different until you brake hard enough to lock a wheel. Then you get to spend time learning to threshold brake instead of just mashing the pedal and steering.

IMO, the owner you talked to is a dipshit. ABS isn't for pussies and I would never consider removing it on a car that regularly saw street duty.

It has been done before and if you search in the 3rd gen section there is a great post that gives you every detail about how to do it. I dont know how the car will perform I havent got mine back on the road yet but when it does it wont have a ABS. I think the post also has a manual steering converion, I just cant remember the guys name.
