i can replace all the issues and im considering about offering him 1k if he takes the stereo. but the yearly jci( emissions safety equivalent) is about $600+ for this car. it needs new tires also seen the car in person. it has a dumb supra spoiler equivalent and altezza's. the tires stick out about 2 inches from the fender/quarterpanels.
basically feel like rescuing this poor thing. dont know about lt1's or this year of camaro.


1993 CAMARO 5.7L V8 LT1 (Z28) AUTO
JCI DUE 31 JAN 2013

UPDATE: Starter finally failed, price reflects this. I would get it fixed myself but I don't have time. Typhoon motors won't do it, as they don't work on "foreign" vehicles. I have two different places that will change it or rebuild it, but I won't be able to get to it. (Work, class, PCS, etc.)

Runs well, needs starter to actually run now.

Known issues:
-Drivers window motor bad
-Small exhaust leak due to corroded spot. easily accessible for welding
-Starter will need to be replaced sooner than later. still starts every time though!
-Radiator fans don't come on on their own, manual fan switch installed
-Slight misfire, most noticeable when cold
-Stock rims, and they'll need tires to pass JCI, but work fine for now (UPDATE TO THIS: I have 4 decent tires that are JCI worthy I'll be putting on next weekend.)


Good:
-No rust
-Intake
-Dual JL Audio 10" subs in a custom enclosure + 1000w amp and other stereo goodies
-New fuel pump
-New Plugs
-New Wires
-New Coil pack

Well worth $2500. I have receipts for $1500 in work, and when you price the radio goods it easily totals $1000. Test drives available mostly anytime, just shoot a text or email and we can set it up.

The fact that instead of looking at his own list of problems and identifying the problem with the car he just throws a manual fan switch on is sad. The car most likely needs a coolant temp sensor. The one on the waterpump is used for the pcm. If it goes bad itll run like shit etc.

93 is obd1 with a non vented optispark. The one that's notorious for sucking.

The starter is easy as long as he doesn't have headers with a crappy ypipe. Don't even consider it if it wont start.

if you do look at it and it cranks slow it might not be the starter at all. That temp sensor will cause a slow crank.

I don't know what cars go for in Japan but Id offer 850 or so here and go from there.

i own a 94 lt1 z28, and i would say pass on it. like stated above the opti on these older ones BLOWS. there known for having the window motors burn on on them aswell. I mean it doesnt sound to bad for the problems. i would be worried about the opti tho, the rest seem like easy fixes for a buy>fix>resell>profit

if this was the states it would be as easy as buying a 350/ls1 and slapping it in there. but unfortunately everything has to be imported.
