Question 240 Hicas?

how can you sell the HICAS models apart from the regular 240's? i did a quick search, just too lazy to get in depth into anything. badges, stickers, anything different? the hicas has a factory lsd too right?

if it hasnt been repainted yet, theres a small "SUPER HICAS" sticker int he black rocker body line on the rear quarters.

other than that, crawl under the back and look for a steering wrack bolted to the rear of the car,.

also note that t he speeds are...

0-30 = low speeds
30-50 = mid speeds
50+ = high speeds..

part of the reason the car is so bad to drift, is because in 2nd gear while drifting, the rear wheels see speeds of 25-50+ as u rev thru the band. and the rear wheels keep changing what they are doing...

i dont want to use the hicas as an excuse for my drifting skill at this moment, but i would like to try drifting a non hicas car...

well, I can drift my hicas 240, but the thing is that it "crabwalks"

You give it mroe throttle to induce more over steer but then the wheels go into the 50+ mode because on increased revs and point towards the way the front wheels are pointed (which is towards the outside of the turn since u are countersteering) and causes you to have MORE grip thus counteracting the extra throttle.. When u release the throttle genenrally u want the back end to come back IN or slide less, but then u drop into the 30-50 range and the rear wheels go opposite of the fronts getting the car to slide more..

Basically the hicas is a car of drifting contradiction.. while I havent tried it on dry asphault, on wet asphalt it is a constant fight with the wheel and throttle to try and out wit the hicas system....
