Is my Q45t really a t ??

[jmorasch]

Ive been thinking about this and thought Id finally ask.The Q Ive got has the spoiler on it like the t does and when I had it on the rack it seemed to be diffrent than the misses Q the way the rear suspension was.the title doesnt state that its a touring. How would I know if its really a t ???????

A t of your vintage should have HICAS (rear steering rack), a rear sway bar, and BBS forged alloy wheels

I think the touring, at least the 94t I parted out, had two throttles, one for intake air and the other for traction control. This meant a longer TB and a shorter intake tube to the MAF. You should also have a large TCS pump stuffed in the engine compartment with a fluid reservoir on top of it. I think it's on the PS. Also, turn the key to the on position and look for the HICAS light in the speedo cluster.

The secondary throttle is on TCS equipped cars only, but yeah you will have a pump with two outputs and a high pressure hose the runs to the rear steering rack

since we're all chiming here....91-94 t has the HICAS just as stated.don't think the factory bbs forged alloys appeared until 94, but i could be wrong.all 94t's came with heated seats, but only *most* t's had TCS.i believe Wes has said config (heat, no TCS).until '94 you only got TCS or active, but not both.94-95 ALL actives have TCS std.

94-95 ALL actives have TCS std.

The early t and a models had the fat spoked forged wheel. Don't know who sourced them.

Damn, there goes my dream unless I can defeat it and leave the 4channel ABS.

My most recent Q purchase (Quella) has the same.

1995 Q45t, heated seats, no-TCS.

[jmorasch]

this Q is a 91.theres no hicas,but it did have the bbs wheels.

Mine was as was Grg's Quella. Many out there, thankfully.

[3Q Jay]

huh. didn't realise you bought Quella. fun road trip from PHX to CVG? so you now have 3? 2xblack and 1 IPQ?

Brian, i think you could easily disable the secondary throttle plate and leave the rest.....

I thouight about that, but it would be best perhaps to convert to a standard intake and a standard ECU, keeping the four channel ABS.
