Additional "pedal dance" testing.

Well, if that's the case, it's doing the right thing... but my goal is to drop time on hot laps, not spin >.<

Green ABS fuse under the hood. But this will render the car analog with no driving aids. You don't want ABS for drifting, but you might need ABS for big tracks where speeds are higher for safety.

T2 at Laguna has a rather MASSIVE runoff.... but Robi's an experienced enough driver that not having ABS shouldn't be an issue.

I think one should be able to pilot a car without ABS. But that's just me.

I may be guilty of taking advantage of ABS at times...

My first 85 cars didnt even have abs....

I learned to track in a car without ABS, but it doesn't hurt to have it on a modern car.

I pulled the abs fuse during an event, and got crazy lockup of all 4 wheels way to easy.

Couldn't help myself.

I pulled my abs fuse after a week of ownership... Completely forgot about pulling it too, that explains on why I never dealt with the ice mode.

Yeah baby I'm one bad*ss m*fo ;-)

It's also typically accompanied with a CEL. The CEL is soft and goes away after a while.
@D1cker

This actually happened to me at the Dynamic Driving Academy when I was doing a donut.

Using the traction off button was not an option as it would interfere too much, especially in transitions.

I pulled the fuse at the Dynamic Driving Academy clinic and that seemed to work pretty good, however, that was a low speed event so conditions were quite different. I also changed to a stiffer front spring rate but that shouldn't have made too much a difference.

I'll be at the balcony again in June for another drift event where I'll be running with the ABS fuse pulled. I'll let you guys know how that works out.

This EXACT situation just happened to me at Balcony this weekend... and as a noob it was kind of scary. Then it got to be really annoying as I was getting better and getting closer n closer to the wall / other cones. Sucks. Is the fuse you're talking about shown in the owner's manual or could you take a pic? And does it create a hard CEL / ABS light? I wouldn't mind doing this for track days at least.
