Having that said, compressor + vacuum bleeder is actually pretty good result. Just bedded the pads in - for how well I can on the street - and pedal feel is actually not bad for a first drive.

So you're saying I should leave a larger gap to compensate for a lack of ABS? So I can skillfully extract maximum braking power with my oh so sensitive "racer's" right foot whilst I thank miataturbo.net for inspiring me to have removed my safety net and granting me the opportunity to **** myself?

The motor is powered by the "ABS" fuse in the main relay / fuse box under the hood, near the pax shock tower. The control unit, from what I can gather of the schematic, is powered by the windshield wiper fuse.

Thanks Joe. Im keeping ABS for now as Ive just spoken to a 94+ABS+Wilwood owner that has rock solid brakes, and not so before. Repeated bleeding is the icing on the cake apparently.
Joe: do you also have the manual page for pedal height adjustment?

Like Sav said, ABS is for driver's that SUCK *** ... ah I'm just jealous 
In hindsight I wish I would have looked around for an ABS equipped NA to build as my racecar, oh well - need to concentrate on sucking less *** I spoze...
I flatspotted one of my 225 Avon Tech RA's last year @ Bwillow braking into Star Mazda. I made a late pass and didn't realize my RR was locked until I noticed a smokescreen in my mirrors, DOH, that tire was DONE, squared as ***.

For those who actually taste vagina instead of only dreaming about it:
1. jack up car, remove wheels and tires
2. bleed as normal
3. start engine, engage 2nd gear and activate ABS, repeat 10x
4. repeat step 2 another 3x.
5. install wheels and master cylinder brace that you left off, lower car
6. ball hard
7. profit

Weer een dag met keiharde remmen. There, I'll use my own language then.
