I have experimented with everything from different pads, different tire setups, different calipers and rotors. All setups eventually resulted in Ice mode.

I haven't run with abs fuse for months. Really forces me to think about brake force I apply which is very fun in a retro kind of way. I can run at turns much faster just knowing I will stop now. When I feared Ice mode I started braking early which was a real drag. I'm fairly experienced driver and I almost drove right off track twice with ice mode on the car. Fortunately I was on wide turns and just made huge arc to scrub off speed. Also experienced it at AX a few times.

I like the vacuum discussion. Has anyone tried playing with this idea yet?

I wonder what Mazda does as I never had ice mode in my MX5 or my MazdaSpeed 6
