this is covered alot

 

it depends on what style you like the best.

 

who the hell says that??

 

i want to build one up to race and want to find one bone stock to buy. 92-98 style. i just dont know the basics for looking. i mean if im planning on swapping motors than milage on car wont matter at first right? and what are some other key things i should know when looking. thanx

 

Keep in mind what OBD you want to deal with also... Not everything is so easy

 

whats OBD?

 

PERSONALY I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I LIKE THE '92-'95 BODY STYLE THE BEST. BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR STYLE AND WHAT YOU LIKE.

 

whats with all the caps? I personally love the 92 - 95 style.. but i also have a thing for the EKs.. I'm sure someday i'll have an EK hybrid as well..

What i looked for was good paint, no rust, good interior, and minor body damage.. but none of that matters now cuz it all got fucked up except for the interior.. doh!

OBD stands for ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS and until year 95 we got OBD I then at year 96 came OBD-II, the diference between this two genereations of OBD is their function. For Example in OBD I is much easy to clear a trouble code or when you got a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on is cuz one of the inputs to the pcm its out of range. But in OBD-II when you see a Check engine Light is cuz you got a Emission Problem, cuz ODB-II primary function is to have good emissions. And its more hard to clear a trouble code in OBD-II than OBD-I. So this means that OBD-II is harder to modify maybe.
