super hicas?
i just purchased a 91 240 fastback, its clean for the year and seems mechanically solid. But it has super HICAS on it with abs and lsd. I found out the hicas system is a form of four wheel steering. Im just wondering if it will interfere with me lowering the car or adding other suspension upgrades. I want to start drifting in the car, and i wasnt sure if i could with the four wheel steering.

if i get a new rear subframe will i need to do anything with wiring, i heard it is electronically controlled. also is it just the suspension parts that need to be swapped or a whole new part to the frame, and i assume these are parts i can find in a wrecking yard. or should i try to get them from the far east?

yeah, my 93 is a HICAS as well. they are damn rare, I haven't seen another 240 HICAS edition. (althought mine doesn't have the ABS, heh)
Lowering the car is no different, nor is any other suspension. I've put KYB AGX's & Eibachs, changed tie rod ends, strut bar and i'm in the process of saving for whiteline TC rods.
If you're seroius into drifting then I was told to disable to hicas. If not, then it's definately a plus to have, if you drive a 240 without the LSD and then one with you can tell the difference.

well i want to start getting into drifting, thats why i bought the 240, but if the hicas is rare i dont know if i want to take it out, i might find another one for a drifter and make this one a show car. also wondering if the hicas light on the dash is supposed to be on all the time?

Hmm i would just stick with the HICAS model, only reason i would get a HICAS model is kus it comes with the VLSD. Its a great drift car stock...just minus the HICAS lol. The car would still be rare..unless ur ganna sell the car later on then i would take out the HICAS
