In this episode of Rob Dahm's channel, we witness the ongoing saga of his car project. The car has proven to be a true workhorse, providing Rob with plenty of seat time and some of the most challenging drives of his life. But fear not, for Rob is not just a horrible driver, as he showcases his skills by taking on the streets of Willow in a little formula car. There's definitely a good driver lurking within him.

Now, let's get to the heart of the matter - the ABS system. Rob and his team have gone all out to improve the car's performance, and one of the key modifications they've made is to the ABS system. They've opted for a competitive product from Continental, which is giving the gold standard Bosch unit a run for its money. This new ABS unit is a beast, with the ability to monitor tire slip and adjust brake pressure to each wheel independently. It's like having four brake pedals, allowing for ultimate control and precision. And let's not forget the excellent wheel speed data it provides, giving Rob a clear picture of what's happening on all four corners of the car.

But how does this ABS unit work its magic? It's all about the sensors, my friends. With an accelerometer and pressure sensors, this unit can detect wheel slip and adjust accordingly. It even takes into account factors like steering angle, ensuring that the system knows exactly what the driver intends to do. And here's the best part - it doesn't require specific ABS sensors, unlike its Bosch counterpart. This means that Rob and his team can make use of the Corvette wheel hubs for improved performance.

Of course, installing this ABS unit is no walk in the park. It requires some modifications to the car's wiring and brake lines, but the team is up to the challenge. They're also planning to upgrade the fuel system, ensuring that the car has all the power it needs. And let's not forget the generator they've installed to keep their laptops and equipment running smoothly at the track. It may be loud, but it gets the job done.

Overall, Rob and his team are making great strides in their car project. The car is becoming faster, more precise, and a true joy to drive. With each modification, they are pushing the boundaries of what this car can do. So buckle up, my friends, because this journey is far from over.
