If you look at it and decide you like it , have bcaa do a inspection . . . I think it costs like 75 $ . They inspected my mustang when I sold it and must have found stuff they didnt like cause the people never bought it

93s are a little different from 94-95s. They don't have a MAF, which can make tuning more difficult from what I understand. Some parts (like headers?) have 93 specific part numbers. I personally would stay away from a 93.

today i took at look at this nice Z but when i opened the trunk... i bit of water trickled out of the hatch.... hard to explain where exactly where its coming from its just were to pieces of trim are overlaping... ill try and find a photo and show u all... the guy said thats normal for a bit of water to do that in this car.


could it be a leak or do they acually have a bit of water trickle in when u open the trunk after a rain fall?

It is normal for water to poor out from the trunk when you open it. It will come out where the back of the spoiler connects to the hatch. It is just water that get's under there, it is not a leak

Yep I cringe every time I open the trunk after a rainfall.... i get lots of buildup. Especially with my formula spoiler (as opposed to the raised T/A spoiler).

I wouldn't buy a 93. Your going to regret it. Buy a 94 or 95, there are a couple things that are different that make it easier to mod. you'll easily be able to find one for $13000.

I would get a 95 with a vented opti unless you find a 94 for much cheaper. Make sure when you drive it you give it high load at lower RPM (1500-2000) when the car is warmed up. If she stumbles, get a lower price cuz of the opti needing replacement.

hey bud....if you want to sell, you have to lower your price. I hate saying that, but I've been in your situation before too. Good luck!!!
