I have a 94 gt. When I turn the key there is no abs light, but how do I know my light isn't just out?
How do I know if I have abs? - 6G Celicas Forums
then you dont have it if it doesnt light up when you turn the key
open your hood, in the left hand front corner of the car, there will be a box, with a bunch of brake lines coming out of it. if its just an empty space, you dont have ABS.

>>>>>>Road test will do. Drive fast and hard brake, see how the car goes.
If wheel lock, no ABS. if not, you have ABS.
Correct me if I am wrong.
PS: Please find an empty road to do the test>>>>>>

I geuss this is a no.
This will suck in the snow. Thanks man
>>>>>>What I heard, the brake rate of car without ABS is = 35% more brake rate than the car with ABS.
Yeap, I agree that it's more safe with ABS while snow or rainny days.
But I am sure the car without ABS is slightly lighter than the one with ABS, at least without the ABS pump.>>>>>>

Hrm i had a fun event in my old 96 celi without ABS especially started slowing down early for turn hit ice started sliding freaked out didnt lift foot off of the brake, hit the crub directly on lower lip of rim.
Cracked said rim and bent the strut and the control arm, and this was only at like 20-25 miles an hour.
Happiest day of my life.

Ouch, sounds like a blast. I have heard about panicing and not pumping the brake, I think alot of practice in a snowy parking lot would help though.
ABS saved my butt a million times in the winter...
thank god i have ABS.

ABS is a must have for winter
one thing i don't like, i can't swing 180. swing in reverse, brake, put it 1st gear and go.

haha this is making me uncomfortable. Where I go to school it snows non-stop. Looks like I'll be doing a Curren front clip next summer...
Talking about snow.... the most fun I had when I was in high school driving my friend's All-Trac Tercel sliding all over the place in the snowy empty parking lot..

Wasnt so much that I paniced I just didnt react fast enough to the fact that i was actually sliding.
If i had turned into the curb right before impact i wouldve been fine.
It was like, something doesnt seem right, oh **** im sliding, theres the curb...to late.
I think there should be mandatory winter driving course/practice in drivers ed.
