I'm curious of the upsides vs downsides to deleting this! I borrowed Liftnots thread as an example http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126100 . Please be honest about the safety issues that may develop, I can take it. Thanks.

The alternative is to spend more money to upgrade to the lighter and improved 2000 and up system.
I would only do this if I was building a RACE CAR.
I go to the track all the time and still have my ABS.
I use my ABS on the track, it works well.
Sure loosing a few pounds for the track would be helpful but the
dissadvantage does not out weight the benefit of the weight savings.
I think reducing weight on a street car is foolish
Look at it this way.
Assume the car weights 3000lbs. and produces 270hp.
Remove 45Lbs this is 1.5% difference in hp/lb fairly small.
This assumes you also go to a race battery.

I would do the RPS carbon clutch to loose more weight....from my oem 6-spd. This is rotational weight and I can't wait. Recaro Seats and QR steering....that should be easy 40 lbs. I like my oem wheels too much to go lighter but my brakes can be lighter if I take another Dali diet pill.
I would keep my AC for creature comfort.....:biggrin:
Any weight you can save to the drive train is beneficial.
This includes brakes rotors clutch/flywheel, tire and rims.
Break calipers are good but for unsprung weight.
The stock brakes are fine for street. They are not very light though.
I deleted the AC mainly to adding additional cooling ducts for my brakes the weight reduction was a side benefit.
Well my ABS stoped working about a year ago, so I just pluged them off. I ve been driving for a year without ABS and it feels the same. If you are a good driver you should be Ok. I also will be getting the deleting kit. Speaking of weight saving.... Im going crazy on it as well. I took of the spare tyre and brakets,all tools, engine cover, stereo, speakers, antenna, Jdm fog lights, D2 light suspention, Advan kreuser V, Taitec headers, GTLW, Carbon wingR, small batery, and next ABS Deleting kit, carbon racing mirrors, pole position light seats, ets.:smile:
I am also looking into removing my abs from a 1991 modulator pump cycling and also want to practice threshold braking and car control. It appears that in 2000 Honda not only changed the abs modulator, they also added a proportioning valve for the rear brakes. So my question is should I add a rear brake proportioning valve to my 91 brakes or just wait and see how bad my rear brakes lock up before the fronts? I should also mention that 1991 brakes have the larger rotors from the 1997 on, as well as the larger pistons in the front calipers and I kept the earlier rear calipers that have the larger piston than the 1997 rears.
