Super Hicas Eddition

Anyone heard of Any Majour problems with this virsion?

i've heard about the crabwalking issue with them ( nothing to much to correct )

is it hard to take out the hicas system? or would that basically render the car useless...

I have a Super Hicas Edition and I have had no problems with it at all. I actually love the way it makes the car handles it just takes some getting use to.

No its not hard to remove the HICAS system. All you need is a HICAS eliminator kit. Cost about $100-$130 bucks.

im scowin aroun dover here ( southern ontario ) to try and find a nice S13 is Decent shape, but sadly all of them usually have Rotted framerails..

now its down to the point where the rest of the field is Superhicas, it kinda worried me to go look at them when i heard all about the Crabwalkin stories

i was a lil worried about that at first as well, but then again i didn't find out about the hicas until AFTER i bought my car.

as i said before i have not experienced any crabing at all with the car. well unless you count when i take corners way to fast hang the rear end yet still have traction but its fun. scare the sh** outa my friends when i do that and they start feeling the rear end sliping out to the side in the corner. hehe....

and even my dad who is totaly anti japanese cars (he is mopar all the way) loves the car and how it handles.

its where the rear wheels are to the Max of a 8-10º wile the Car is traveling straight, so the driver must compensate the front tires the 8-10º

so the Car is traveling down the sreet on a 8-10º angle instead if heading down straight.

hardly noticable form the inside, ****ing annoying for the driver.
