1993 Gs

Hey guys, I owned a 93 back on 02' and it was an awsome car.
I am looking to pick up another one for 600.00 5 speed, it has the 2.5 motor, only problem is it has a shot distributor. With that being said, Do I need to look to replace anything else other than the distributor or is it pretty much a single blow thing ?

Also , I was curious how much HP this engine produces stock
5 speed , stock.

130hp and a car for $600, get ready to get your wallet out for repairs. These cars (like most imports) arrent cheap to fix.

Is there anything wrong with the car?

Yeah , my friend I am buying it from took it in to TUNEX and they traced it down to being a completely shot distributor. It might make it like 5 minutes of running at the best then it's done for like hours.

Other than that I know her got a new timing belt less than 10K ago , new clutch , new TB , new radiator and a couple other smll things involving the brake system it's just the distributor.

Re: 1993 Gs

wow dude, sounds like a good deal you got there. Are you sure it is a 2.5L?

What does it say on the heads (in between the intake 'runners' there should be a code like: KL-101 or K8-101 or KL31-101

What ECU (computer) is he using in the car? It is behind the dash and easily seen from the passenger side if you get down on your knees.
