Why are you doing this modification (pardon my curiosity)?

I live near Atlanta.

Note that the advanced, sophisticated ABS system is one of the things that make the MKIV TT a great GT sportscar, and a significant part of why it was very much worth the $50K price tag at the time (note: it's about an $80K sportscar in todays' dollars if you adjust that '93 price tag for the rate of inflation). Unless your Mkiv TT Supra is going to be a dedicated, trailered dragstrip-only car, the only tips you should be looking for is how to put the ABS back in your car, imho. In other words, there's a good reason why you're not finding any tech articles on how to remove the ABS - because it's generally a very bad idea.

"Track Car"? you mean like the track at road atlanta? ...atlanta motor speedway? or the braselton/silver dollar?

Even if you do mean it'll be dedicated to dragstrip tracks, trailered only, you need to keep that ABS in while you still drive it on the street, imho. Ripping out the abs is the very last mod you should make, right before you permenently take off the tag, and pull it onto the trailer behind your duelie turbo diesel.
