I've been meaning to get this done for a long time and i finally got around to doing it. I am the worst person ever at soldering so it took me a while to get everything working right, in fact i did it a little bit differently than my friend recommended. check it out...
The ABS switch unit. basic on/off toggle, some wire with an inline fuse holder (10A) and a disassembled fuse soldered to the end for plugging into the stock ABS fuse spot on the fuse block

inserted into the fuse box

Dremel'd out dead switch cover to hold ABS toggle (this was the time consuming part)

ABS switch in the "disable ABS" setting (you can see the ABS light on my dash)

ABS switch in the "enable ABS" setting

Inconspicuous switches are awesome. note my frog indicates that "I am special"

I have actually tested this system too by slamming on the brakes going about 70 down the street. In the off position the brakes totally lock up, and it did not pop the inline fuse. So this is just a nice way to deal with going to rallyx events and rather than pulling the ABS fuese, i can just flip a switch. Its also great for drving up to the snow! Just though id share... I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :)
