As for ABS…
…you should disable it!

Turning a construction tool into a bracket!

I used a construction stake from a home-improvement store as a substitute to mount the oil catch tank. Wrapping it with silicone hose gives it exactly the right diameter, keeps it from wobbling, and still lets me remove it! The catch tank was custom made, and it even has an orifice inside.
I removed the ABS using a three-way fitting from the ECR33 rear-brake lines. I bent the lines by hand. I considered using the S14 lines for a non-ABS model, but this was easier. I thought it might lock up without ABS, but it doesn't; the only benefit is a more direct feel!

There's no need to worry about oil leaks from the hand-bent lines, and removing the ABS unit saves some weight. The parts cost only 300 yen!
The catch tank's bracket is flat, while the stake is round, but they fit together perfectly! Once the catch tank is installed, the bracket is hidden, so it looks neat too…

…it was.
I painted it purple in the clubroom with a spray gun and applied plenty of clear coat! The head cover is red, in my failed “grind tattoo” style. What? You say purple looks like mind control? People tell me that a lot…
With twin dampers, it really works!
After painting it, I realized…

It has nothing to do with a microcomputer!
…that's not what it's for!
With just one…
I don't think it'll make any difference!
I'm not sure what it was originally for, but I use a hatchback damper as an engine torque damper. There are two, one on each side of the engine. I feel like I can get on the throttle more than before. It also seems to make shifting easier. Since it cost nothing, even just feeling that it helps is good enough for me.
The stroke is only about 15 mm, so two of them might work about as well as a commercial unit. For installation, use the hatchback…

I moved the mounting base to the body. He says he'd like to enter next year's Cefumi…
It does look a bit like a mind-control color, but the paint is smooth, so it works. The grind tattoo finish…

Water injection using a fuel pump!
…and I accidentally used a coarse grinding stone. I think that gives it its own character. The modified intake manifold makes it even better!

I installed a water sprayer for the radiator, using three garden nozzles. The design makes it easy to add more nozzles! The pump is a stock S15 Turbo fuel pump; it was dry, so I put it straight into the tank. Water works fine, and it has more pressure than a washer pump. The tank holds 20 liters and sprays for about 10 minutes…
...can be achieved.
The output is as strong as it gets!
He uses the stock fuel pump, but wrapped it in foam to protect against lateral G-forces. He also sealed the connector because it doesn't appear to be waterproof—nice attention to detail. An in-tank pump looks cleaner too, and…
