It seems to me that most of the people who have 240's don’t have the small % of the SE's with ABS/VLSD. So I decided to make this thread for safety/learning reasons on how to properly brake with out ABS. Any links, info, or stories would be a great help. The time that I have practice braking in the rain, I have noticed that if you just keep the brake pushed in you will slide forever! So I practiced pumping the brakes and I felt a little better but when the situation comes where you have to stop fast will you remember?

 

rule number one

do not stab the brake's

what i do is slowly but more pressure on the pedal

 

Don't Pump fast either..or it'll lock..

Steady, slow, cute little pumps will stop you nicely. Downshifting hels too..as the Engine Revs Higher..it struggles to move forward.

and If you're spinning out..or fishtailing..don't slam on the brakes..you have a higher chance of flipping. Again..Downshift and nicely counter-steer.

 

his car is an auto. is it possible to add ABS to a non abs car?

 

you wont to apply pressur more and more(slowly) ... down shift first .... and if the tires break loose, turn the wheel back and forth slowly.

 

Psshhhh non-abs is how I roll. Taking turns @ 20mph in the rain and sliding all I really do is just take my foot off the gas and steer the car

 

But its like my car is on ice skates when it slides.

 

i hate abs... in my opinion i think it worse to have. once your abs starts working it just makes funny nioses and makes you slide.

with out abs you can pump the brakes like described above and get out of the situation safely. not to mention, you dont want abs on a car that you race
