BTW, I recommend against removing the ABS. Going lighter is good and all, but ABS is a Very Good Thing Indeed (TM). It could save your life someday, or at least your front bumper/hood/radiator support.

The ABS in broken. It was diagnosed as the Pump Motor Accumulator Thing ™ which is a very expensive part. With labor, it's over $1000 to fix it. And I'll bet the whole thing weighs 50 pounds, between the computer, that big ole pump, the sensors, wiring harness and all the extra lines and extra fluid. I'm planning to jack the non-abs parts out of a junk yard 92-95 Civic or Integra RS to "fix" the ABS on the cheap. From what I understand, that early ABS system is crap when it works anyway.
