I've got a NA8 without ABS.
Anyone know if it is possible to retrofit this?

anything is possible if you have enough time or money or both
but if you are going to do that you might as well do the SE transplant while you were at it

I also asked David at mania about this he said I would have to put alot of work into it and rewire the entire loom, then I pointed out that I would just be paying him to do it, after which he said it was too hard :P

It would be easier/cheaper/more reliable to sell the car and buy one with ABS.

I remember years ago people toyed with an 'add-on' ABS for the NA. I don't think it worked very well as it wasn't popular.
