Abs

[ghostCB7]

my car does not have ABS how hard would it be to convert it and is it worth the money?

What make and model do you have. Looks like you have an LX in your sig like a 92/93. SHoulda came with ABS unless it was an option. Personally i wouldnt spend the time to convert it just get you some better rotors, SS lines, and pads and call it a day.

No LX'es came with ABS. If you really want it you have to get a '92 or '93 EX.

I would not bother, non-ABS cars have been around, and they stop, don't they?

Plus, non-abs makes it easier to do brake work. I replaced my master cylinder today, but I would not have been able provided my car was ABS equipped.

Ahh i gotcha didnt know that learned something new. Master cylinder aint bad for an EX i replaced mine a while back didnt take too long. Just loosen the lines and take the two bolts?? off the brake booster if i remember and pull out. Then bench bleed and reinstall. The EX ABS is like a separate module by the look of it when i took my bmc out.

Well, apparently you have to use a different bleeding method to bleed ABS brakes.

I did the normal bleeding procedure nothing special and my brakes worked fine. Got a buddy pumping the pedal, one to dump fluid, and i opened/close the bleeder. Thats all and the brakes feel fine no air or nothin.

Hmm, I just remember reading this warning in the Hayne's manual about it.

The only LXish Model cb7's that came with ABS are the 10th aniversary models, which are considered to be along the lines of an LX.

I wouldn't even bother converting. My ABS light is on right now, which indicates the abs not working and i seem to brake fine. The only reason i would ever convert or fix my ABS would be, because i had or was going to go through a harsh winter...
