I don’t believe ABS comes with MR models standard, the thing with MRs is some buyers back in the day could add stuff back on as options.
To make things worse, my car has upgraded K-Sport brake kit at the front, so you are more likely to lock up! 
Mitsubishi put abs on to mr,s from ,96, mk 3 style. Better without it, does not go wrong !!
It was still an option on all MRs from 1995 onwards, so if you have it on your MR it was because the original purchaser paid for it to be included when the car was purchased.

Hi all,
Just bought a 1998 GTO, needs loads of work and am really looking forward to bringing this one back to life!
Got two options that will become clear when I pull the engine out and break it down for inspection.
1, It will, 100% need a rebuild… Knock knock, who’s there? > Mr Rod
2, See if anyone has a complete engine, long or short block to drop back in.
Ideally, I would like to salvage the original engine…
Definitely, no excuse now to join full annual membership… Looking very forward to contributing!
So an official intro,
I’m Adam, it’s a pleasure to meet you all.
I’m super dyslexic so, my wife is going to be editing!
Started my career as an aircraft engineer, primarily working on variable pitch propellers of all makes and sizes. Worked in Australia in a similar role but in NDT (Non Destructive Testing).
Came back to the UK, career change into electronics and SMT PCB assembly.
Career change again into the medical field of stent grafts, VNV (Verification and validation).
And currently working as a production engineer in DNA sequencing.
I design and build production equipment, maintain it and do a lot of calibration.
Solidworks is often used at work, have some experience in the C programing language, and love building circuit boards in Eagle PCB and Altium designer.
Some PLC experience but manly I’ll use Arduino and Pi for most protect as I get to make my own PCB’s
I love all Jap cars from the '90s, and that’s about it…
Modern cars and supercars don’t do anything for me, can’t stand fake pops and bangs…
A car with just ABS is all I need to have fun…
Currently, my wife and I have an RX8 40th Anniversary and a 300ZX TT project.
The 300ZX and GTO are cars we really wanted when we were in our early teens growing up in the '90s.

Welcome! Where abouts are you in our wonderful Country are you? photos would be nice ….location or car, you choose!
Welcome to GTOUK and good luck with your project.Reads like you will have the skills to handle all you need to do.
Welcome to GTOUK Adam, projects are what this club survives on, keeps the conversations flowing. Do a rebuild thread, these have more interest. As @marlowboy says, pictures and location, you never know when we need spares.

Welcome to this fantastic Forum Adam. You sound like you know your onions, and I think many of us will be picking your brains in due course. A very warm welcome to you. There isn’t much about these cars that many of us on here haven’t already come across. Ask away, any time, and someone will try and answer.
Your enthusiasm is wonderful!
Good luck with your project fella,
Mike

@jerry_SC, I always took my toys apart and put them back together… I Just can’t weld! Never had a chance to.
@just_cool, The car arrives this weekend but may not get a chance to make a start till the next weekend. This will be a slowish build, there is just so much I want to sort and make new.
@enda, thanks hey!
@dodgemonkey, Thank you very much Mike! I’m sure I’ll be quizzing for lots of torques figures and diagrams! 
Here she is!

Have a good look underneath the advisories on the mot look like they could be expensive
@nick2 Hoping to get it into Dream Body Workz It will have any defects sorted…
I’ll get a Project sorted then!
That’s fine but if they do the job properly I would expect a bill into the £1000s to fix all that.
I have £7k for bodywork, it’s all budgeted for.
