Had a scare as the abs/psm lights came on, but later found out that a boost hose came loose so once we fixed that the car ran great! Goldcrest found a simple solution for the ABS (check the connections on the plug for corrosion). Problem solved.

Nah, I think the tires were too old. Ran my PB (1:28.9) in September on the same set of tires which were then locked up constantly at Barber with the ABS issues. This set of Kuhmos seem not to like the way I've treated them from no break in, to locking them up with the ABS issues.

Running a sticker set of A6 this weekend, will see how it goes.

Thanks!

Now some question about it:
-does it run continuously or is it triggered by steering wheel sensor?
-Which brand? ( Looks a lot like A-class MB... )
-Operating pressure?
-Any other mods required, other than plumbing?
-And the most important one...how does the steering feel with that?

I believe it is MB and turns on/off with a dash mounted toggle.
There is a little inline cooler as you can see. I don't know the operating pressure I'm afraid.

Drives nicely. I use 245s upfront and it doesn't seem too assisted- just about right.

Thanks - didn't realize the cooler was necessary - don't think the rsr pump has one
But I might be wrong. I read the MBenz A1 unit worked well ... Nice to see thanks
