Of course. The centre of excellence! I'm in Borden for most of February on the new LAV turret course for EO. Good luck on your posting! Maybe I'll be back

Good luck on your posting! Maybe I'll be back in the fall on my 6a's and can see your car!

So doing this and leaving the module plugged in deletes the ABS, leaves the speedo working, keeps 70/30 braking, and no chance of ice mode?

doing this;
- will delete the ABS function
- Speedometer will work
- you will be able to adjust Brake bias
- You will not get Ice-mode but you might lockup your wheel depending how aggressive you are on the brake.


btw you can un-assemble the ABS module and just keep the electronic part of it.

yes I did find a quick solution which was to connect the electrical component of the ABS Module back into the the wire plug which is easy.

Im sure there a hard-wire setup that could be made to avoid doing this.
But I had to get Megan on the road and I havent spend more time into this.

My first ever mold !

The tooling Gelcoat layer was a bit thin but it still came up relatively good
I should have the first part started tomorrow.

Hey good to find this thread. I just moved to the Toronto area last summer. I searched for CSCS and found your write up. Amazing stuff. Are you going to compete this year? I went to an event at Toronto Motorsports Park last August just too watch with a friend. I might enter one day for fun as well once I get a little more experience but some of those cars are just insane.

I will still be on a military exercise during the first 2 months of the racing season (May/June) and I intent to participate twice Cayuga and DDT depending if they relatively keep the same Time attack date as last year.

Body Part Update !

I wasted 15$ on the first layer because of no experience with handling this kind of cloth which is a Hybrid of CF/Kevlar.

then the first applied layer was not perfect since I didn't made a hole/cut relief for the 4'' hole into the mold.

the second layer was a nice success !!!

The part is still drying up into the mold as we speak.

Looking good. Check out vacuum bagging. Real nice end result and you get better over all strength. Nice mold too

Don't worry I checked into the vacuum bagging
but because I force myself to follow a strict budget on Megan I cant afford all the stuff needed for the vacuum bagging setup.

Have you thought about making a functional rear diffuser now since you have the room with the exhaust you made?
