With the incorrect master cylinder, it was going to ABS every corner, and causing Icemode almost every time. Once that was changed it reduced it. Then the programming/bias/yaw sensor helped a bit. We'll keep working on it until it get down to street car levels. Over last 6 years tracking street Gt3s it only happened to me about 4 times total. When you change suspension, tires, pads, calipers it has huge impact on the ABS/PSM system. Porsche designed abs around these factors, so no chance of "contacting" Porsche and complaining. Unfortunately it's going to be a lot of trial and error trying to get thru this. Thew Bodymotion proprietary fix isn't really proprietary, and doesn't completely fix it. They put an on/off switch on the yaw sensor. We actually just disconnected it. BodyMotion was actually the team which lent us their PIWIS at Sebring.

Thanks!
Thanks Ryan, Anything else you learn about the issue please share. BodyMotion had told me at the Club Race last year that they had an additional software tweak to the switching/disablement of the yaw sensor. Anyhow, I'll be taking it back to Intersport soon to have it looked at more. I've also been experiencing the much to early wheel lockup issue recently which has been contributing to the frequency of the ice pedal problems.
