Abs to non abs (cup) parts list

[The Beardo]

Ok I have a ph2 172 on an '02 and it's being turned into another track car.

just want to know what parts are needed to convert to cup spec?

so far I understand I need... Cup master cylinder, new steel brake lines throughout, somebody with Clip to tell abs light to stay asleep, anything else?

sorry if this has been covered before, just wanted a definitive list.

We found this week you can't reprog the clock set to non ABS.

ilovewilly is breaking a cup and has the full non abs setup.

 

[The Beardo]

Ahh balls, anyway around it other than black taping the light?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Cup dials.

 

[The Beardo]

Oh ok, not as painful as I thought.

Rear Bias valve, personally I'd go for an adjustable internally mounted. You'll want to basically back them off to nothing anyway.

Standard Cups have a bias valve on the rear beam.

I'm breaking a cup atm if you need bits.

Any issues doing this on a ph1 as they run a different abs system don't they?

Remove the bulb from the ABS light

Cheers Mick.

What are the benefits then? I can lock up the ABS so as far as I'm concerned it's just added weight.

 

[AlexW]

If you can lock it up, its not working properly.

Non-ABS does give a bit more feel IMO, Does remove weight, and if you choose, option of bias change on the rear.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I can lock up with sticky tyres on track on a hot dry day!

I've just got restrictors to go on the rear off another fwd non-abs car, they go inline with the master cylinder and the brake pipes.

 

[The Beardo]

Cup dials.

What do I do regards to mileage on clock and do I have to worry about any alarm or immobiliser issues at all or is it a straight swap?

 

[AlexW]

Don't think you can change mileage, straight swap otherwise

 

[MicKPM]

Mileage can be altered and legally in these situations but to misrepresent the vehicles displayed mileage with a lesser figure as being factual is fraud and illegal.

On the new cars it isn't an issue as the overall trip value is stored in multiple units which is synchronised via CAN.
