I have been having fun with using the ABS system on the track - its interesting to have the pedal pulsing like mad at every braking episode - especially in the wet...

but I may eventually want to switch this function off. Is there a way (by simply removing a fuse etc) that the ABS can be effectively switched off without altering the operation of anything else?

Thanks, jimn~

Yes I think just pulling the ABS fuse does it. OR if you can locate the ABS ECU that should do it.

Have a look here:

Pulling the fuse should work fine :)

ABS helped the DTM 155s though...

if you remove or put a switch on the warning light of abs on the dash .
the abs go off if the light is cutted or burned .

The switch option is better for me. Just cut the electric power to the ABS system {located under the rear seat}.

It's more fun to drive-break without it as long as you can moderate the power to the break pedal.

Keep us posted.
