ABS Delete

[ProjectGTP]

im trying to do some weight reduction and clean up my engine bay at the same time. i have a 97 gtp so it has that huge ABS unit and i want to see if theres a way to delete this.

also since my e brake cables are so rusted out that theres no way to adjust it, only one side works so its hard to do a decent burnout in the waterbox, has anyone ever done a line lock for the rear calipers? i was thinking about doing that and taking off all the e brake crap. any suggestions? thanks

Line lock is easy for the rears, the B&M and hurst ones work great.

you can delete the ABS unit completely by getting a non-ABS master cylinder. i got mine from NAPA

Would it be possible to remove just the abs part?

No. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the ABS master cylinder has 2 ports for 2 lines running from the ABS unit and four break lines running into the ABS unit. The non-ABS master cylinder has four ports. Alowing you to run all four lines from the ABS unit now into the non-abs master cylinder.

well it looks exactly the same except it has the big ABS unit attached to the master cyl. im not sure if the ports are threaded though and i dont want to risk messing up anything by taking it apart. i will probably just wait to get one from a local junkyard.

would i have to cut the brake lines and put new fittings on them since each of the lines have different threads(at least i think it does)?

wait i just realized that i would have to "splice" into the two lines.
