    If your going to get a landy to teach someone to drive in get a series, strong, slow and it will teach them about line picking, traffic anticipation, braking distances and how you have to drive when all the electronics go west. They go fairly cheaply and cost a pittance to maintain once they are up.
    My apologies... had a Senior's moment and let my intolerance out for a stroll...

    Came across some interesting stats some years ago, regarding airbags and rates of medium and high-trauma injuries compared to outright fatals. This was based on a particular model car that carried the option of 'bags for a considerable time, allowing a more meaningful interpretation of the figures.

    In a nutshell - you'd live longer without them, the presence of airbags had a negative influence on driver behaviour, from slight to serious depending on their natural risk profile...
    In a serious but 'survivable' collision, major injury rates dropped, as you'd expect, though airbag-induced 'minor' damage increased... But air-bagged cars were involved in many more serious crashes, which pushed the survial rates back down. - Lesson to be drawn: Airbags will not save you from a Very Serious Prang, such as arguing with a tree at xxx km/h. Or a truck.

    Many folk do not realize that airbags etc, are 'Supplementary Restraint Systems... Nice to have.
    Primary restraint is via a seatbelt, correctly worn. Essential to have.

    ABS and Stability Controls have, IMHO, encouraged drivers, women and younger especially, to drive closer... brake later and firmer, take corners faster and on less stable lines throughout.

    Bring on the Series... sliding around with cross-ply tyres

    Cool Not on a '98.

    Blknight.aus has said ABS and SRS was mandatory from 1996 models, I have a manufactured August '97, Australian compliance 1/98, first reg'd 3/98, D1 "S" model with neither (thank goodness from what I see here), our previous complied '97 D1 was the same, so there must be exceptions to the 1996 date.
    Like most technological advances, it all costs, first to purchase and then to maintain. Give me the simple life!!!

    in 94 with the intro of the updated MA vin discos, drivers or dual airbags were optional, and were still up until the introduction of the d2 in 1999, which were then all standard fitment, no option to have them without.

    same with ABS, and i agree with 0000_22, the non abs models are far better in the brake performance department....

    The only reliable test is to check frequency and amplitude. Which is what the ECU is looking at and compare with the other wheels.
    Also look for any irregularities which may be a damaged tone wheel.

    Scan tools are not capable of doing it.
