First question:
1. check the VIN plate inside the engine bay. The chassis code will be RMKS13 (the car has to be a fastback, 91-93)
2. check for a HICAS dummy light in the gauge cluster
3. in the black stripe along the side of the car, just behind the door it will read 'SUPER HICAS'
4. get under the car and check the differential. If you see a cylinder with two arms coming out going to each rear wheel, it's HICAS.

Second question:
This was a myth perpetrated by an email list and furthered by MANY users. No. Also, even if you find a perfect car, except that it has HICAS, remember that you CAN disable it.

Edit: I was slightly off about the chassis code. It's now corrected.
