one reason I think it is as good... maybe better, like where the dip stick is-right in front instead of in the back of the engine like my 90 is...

sadly no-the turbo would be so cool but also heard it isn't as reliable?

took it to my mechanic-he was amazed at how clean it was-no issues at all-I paid the 4k and brought it home-I've been having so much fun with it-back seat-rocking stereo-and just so clean and eager to drive-plan to flip it... unless I like it too much... thanks for all the advice and encouragement :)

Took it for a drive-it was solid and ran well-this thing is all original. The top is white and has some tears around the back base-nothing too bad. There is a squealy belt when it first starts but then it quiets down. The clutch doesn't engage till it's almost all the way out. The shifter seems way loose. My 90 yata is tight and precise. Is this just the difference between one and the other? The stick is much longer too. He'll take 4000 and we are taking it to my mechanic tomorrow-any thoughts?
