Welcome to the fold.

If you are looking at a coupe you do not have to worry about HICAS. HICAS doesn't come equipped on coupes.

Does the car have HUD. HUD shines the speed up on the windshield. If it does and it works that is good. But if it doesn't you could be looking at a $300 problem.

I know this first hand. I own a '93 SE coupe.

Good luck. Post all of the questions you have. Try the search function as well. We have discussed a great deal of topics.

Hicas equipped cars will have a stocker just in front of the rear wheel well that says "SuperHICAS".

If the car doesn't have ABS, it doesn't have HICAS.

The easiest definite way to tell is to take a look under the rear of the car - it will have a steering rack mounted to the back. If it's there - HICAS. If it's not there then you don't.

Jesse hit the nail on the head. Just look at the rear end. There will be a steering rack log looking item back there.

Your friend is sadly but I am thankful he is wrong. I have a 93. All power windows, sunroof, mirrors and locks. No Hicas.

Snag that sucker for the $500 before I go get it myself.

You will not have VLSD either. That can be gotten for $3-400.
