wont be easy to install either, plumbing would be a nightmare to setup. GSi's had ABS as standard, Sports was an option

Wait till the 1st time its wet, accelerate then slam the breaks on.
If it has abs you'll know, if it doesn't you'll skid.
(There may be another way to tell)

how is relying on an electronic safety system a clever thing to do? 
and for the record, Vauxhall sold me my 1.6 Sport under the pretence it had ABS, and 1 week later i uncovered that this was in fact, a lie
