So, has anyone tried to upgrade the ABS in the MX?

IMO it kind of sucks, it is functional and operational and is working to the best of its abilities but I think it could be improved.

So looking at other cars (mazda of course) has anyone done a swap of any kind?

My thought is change the assembly and pump out to like a 3rd gen RX7 and the ECM. but being RWD it may be programmed for that. so was thinking about MX6 ABS or millenia perhaps. what are some of your guys's thoughts?

reason is I will be pulling the trans in the next couple months and am just going to pull the engine as well so will have full access to clean under the hood as I need. So if I am going to upgrade things this would be the time to do so. Like my P/S upgrade I will be doing

I'm interested... I've been debating removing mine entirely, along with P/S(Leaning away from this, until I can test drive a manual 323 or MX-3).

Keep us posted, I know you will, but I felt I had to say it!

The MX6 ABS is not too hot in the MX6 but maybe in a lighter car it COULD be better. I was thinking a 2000+ protege maybe?

reason for mid 90's cars is better chance for plug and play, and perhaps the more popular sporty cars had a better ECM program vs the MX3 one. But My wonder is how FWD to a RWD or AWD module would effect the braking, I would not think it would as it is a braking system vs traction control.

I think in an advanced system AWD, RWD and FWD would all have different braking bias programmed into the ABS ECU. I doubt strongly if the MX-3 programming would be that detailed.

I eliminated mine because it sucked so badly.
