    Dealer drive it around. I just confirmed the 4WD worked then took it back to the shop doing my 4 Link. Can’t imagine VSC Trac or anything will work without ABS and both fuses were pulled.

    Won’t have it back for a couple months now as I have to get back to work, but will update when I play with it. Think I may need to get into the dash and t it n off some lights so I don’t go blind.

    Back home this weekend. Matt mentioned that rear brakes could be disabled because of pulling fuses so I will check that out; if so then back to drawing board and looking at pulling a wheel sensor.

    I drive a Miata.
    I'll just throw in a wild tangent here - when I was getting VFTuned I was told that whenever the engine is idling below 1000 rpm, the ecu will never feed more than 10% of the throttle to the engine no matter how hard you punch it. I might or might not have the exact details correct but the point is the stock programming has funky limits on the low end before you even add VSC to the mix.

    When I had it flashed I realized that a lot of what I was interpreting as "throttle cut" was actually originating with the tune before the on board nannies even had a chance to kick in. Retune plus pushing the button gave me all that I wanted in regards to desired wheel spin.

    Just checked. I still have rear brakes with the abs fuses pulled. Just lots of warning lights.
