Default ABS Brakes - For better or worse?

Tried an experiment today as I have realy never been happy with the brakes on the Classic. The Sport, without ABS has good brakes in the feedback department, but the Classic with ABS feels 'woody' I took the 2 fuses out that run the ABS and the brakes feel just as good as the Non ABS car. At least I know the brakes are fine and it's just the ABS that is causing the different feel. I put the fuses back in because the ABS is supposed to make you feel warm and fuzzy when you drive. Hey, it might save a life so I may as well use it.

Break a bar is about 5 foot steel of some sort.Dad made the bar for breaking the wheel nuts on our old Bedford bus.It works well.

Made an extendable mount for an LED worklight, need to wire it up but pretty happy with it, throws plenty of light and adjustable for any direction.



Cheers
Steve

Hey Nakkas I don't have ABS but I do have control of the amount of down force I but on my foot.
Had a freind in the wet hit the skids and the ABS tolk control and he keep going into a gully so the systium was removed after that.

There is heaps of extras I want and ABS in the bush is not one of them.
Cheers

Swapped the front door speakers for 6 1/2 inch 3 ways and put 6x9s in the sound bar, above the back seat.
Also modded the courtesy light to accept a bayonet type globe.

cheers
