PFC "Tricks of the Trade"

[bmh.01]

Anyone noticed in this months PFC mag in their 172 project section they mention pulling the ABS fuse on track days as its too intrusive apparently.

Got to wonder where they get their facts from as a) I don't personally think it was that intrusive and most importantly b) pulling the abs fuse kills the EBD and reverts to a 50/50 brake split which makes for an "interesting" drive.

Not such a bright idea to be putting in peoples heads imo.

iirc Burp pulled it out on track once and had an interesting time to say the least

I did flick through the mag in a petrol station recently and laughed out loud (so much so the guy at the till looked at me funny)

Not a good idea. Been there, done that

hahaha that almost looks like you meant to do it!

I can't say i find the ABS that intrusive even on the track.

Only time it seems to come on is in the wet at low speed (circa 10mph) whilst turning and braking.

I had to laugh when I read that aswell....

Wonder how many people have actually tried it, after reading the article?!

 

[caister]

Might be worth writing to them claiming you tried it and ended up in a hedge....

 

[Fred@BTM]
