The good: The car is low miles for a 93. 1993 is one of the best years to own, because the ECU is still OBDI. Also it came with a 25 spline output shaft which is a step up from the 18 spline in earlier years. The car has never seen a winter and no rust on the body panels. There is tiny spots under the car but very minimal. The car made a freakish 298 whp at LSE performance on stock turbos and stock fuel. (most others make 245-270 whp) The tranny shifts smoothly and the southbend clutch has less than 5,000 miles on it. Brand new yokohama tires put on the car. Some people on the boards know me and have previously vouched for the car in this thread.
Newly developed situation: The car is smoking. It smokes on idle and while running. I believe it is the valve stem seals that are the problem. (it could be something else) I changed out the 9b turbos with 15g turbos to see if that would stop the smoking. It did not affect the problem. This leads me to believe its the VSS. It could be something different, but I'm in school at duluth and can't easily access the car. The car is back on stock suspension because I needed money for college. The price reflects the problem.
Price Drop: 6500 without 15g turbos. 7300 with turbos. OBO. I will consider trades +cash.
I feel confident in my representation of the car, and the communities ability to fix the problem. I need to finish school and not spend all my money trying to fix the car.
The car is back at stock height pictures show it lowerd:
Pump gas stock turbos.
