Default Removing ABS

I am looking to remove the SCS on my S2, does anyone know what's involved and what parts are needed to do the job?

I'm sure I read once ages ago you need to change the master cylinder over to an XR3i item, is that true?

you need to make a couple of brake lines up but nothing to major mate. You need to change the brake fluid resevoir but cant ever remember changing the master cylinder

As above really, you just need to make/acquire a pipe from the master cylinder to the T-Pieces on the inner wings and change the fluid reservoir. The only reason you'd need a master cylinder from an XR3i is if it was a non ABS one and you could steal the reservoir.

Is it a worthwhile mod to make or is it better to stick with the SCS system?

The car is mainly going to be used as a track day toy so I'm guessing yes?
