So you're saying I should leave a larger gap to compensate for a lack of ABS? So I can skillfully extract maximum braking power with my oh so sensitive "racer's" right foot whilst I thank miataturbo.net for inspiring me to have removed my safety net and granting me the opportunity to **** myself?

The motor is powered by the "ABS" fuse in the main relay / fuse box under the hood, near the pax shock tower. The control unit, from what I can gather of the schematic, is powered by the windshield wiper fuse.

Like Sav said, ABS is for driver's that SUCK *** ... ah I'm just jealous ![Thefinger](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/thefinger.gif)
In hindsight I wish I would have looked around for an ABS equipped NA to build as my racecar, oh well - need to concentrate on sucking less *** I spoze...
I flatspotted one of my 225 Avon Tech RA's last year @ Bwillow braking into Star Mazda. I made a late pass and didn't realize my RR was locked until I noticed a smokescreen in my mirrors, DOH, that tire was DONE, squared as ***.

For those who actually taste vagina instead of only dreaming about it:
1. jack up car, remove wheels and tires
2. bleed as normal
3. start engine, engage 2nd gear and activate ABS, repeat 10x
4. repeat step 2 another 3x.
5. install wheels and master cylinder brace that you left off, lower car
6. ball hard
7. profit
