I trail brake all the time to help the car to rotate. And if you do that with the abs on it will go into abs braking because it is sensing wheel slip even though it may not be slipping. My inside rear tire lifts on turns and if I barely tap the brakes that wheel will stops.
Is the ABS on the fit electronic? Can it be turned off by a fuss or would I have to manually disengage the whole unit?

Yes it is electronic. You can disconnect the fuse or just unplug the module. Either way is fine. Your brake and abs light will turn on. It's normal.

Thanks Previc93. Curious how this will feel when racing.

Does anyone know if you can have a CF hood or hatch in STF class? Didn't see anything in the rule book or maybe over looked it.

You can only have factory original installed body pieces in any ST class.

What's tough with the SCCA AutoX rules is that unless it specifically says you CAN do something, then you cannot do it...

Now, "locally" small clubs can allow whatever they want, but remember anyone competing in the same class can protest your CF/aftermarket aero

Yeah that's what I figured.

Glad to see a bunch of folks autocrossing their Fits... I'm gonna have to try that ABS fuse trick, because man does that irritate the crap out of me.

Also guys if you plan to run 225's, I HIGHLY recommend race pads if your keeping oem size rotors.

I'm gonna stick with 205 for this year. Also because thats the wide Bridgestone makes. Since I work for Bridgestone I wanted to try out the RE-11A's for AutoX. This is my first year and they work great so far.

I've already switched to race pads and rotors. Curious to see how the non-ABS works.
