Ok I've decided to go a total different direction. I can buy back my old 93 SSEi for $2500 bucks. It'* got a new supercharger on it and they fixed the traction control and a few other issues. The only thing it needs is the hood painted and stuff like that. Plus it'* the same colour as my 94 so I can interchange that and a few other things. And it'* only has 123K on it and runs like a top. Recent tranny flash and all kinds of goodies that are still on the car from me previously owning it.

I think i'm gonna part out the 94. I need the seats and the hood and the drivers fender and a few other parts. After looking at the engine i'm thinking it'* a headgasket or something like a piston hitting a valve. EIther way it was gonna cost more to get a new motor than the 93SSEi so i'm gonna use these parts to fix the 93. Plus it'* got a new supercharger on it so I should be set for awhile.

Just for fun, you might want to start the car and have a look at the oil sender by the oil filter. They can fail and pump out a lot of oil in a short period of time making quite a mess. They are fairly cheap and easy to change, too.

Bill is very right. I've seen these look like the car had too many sodas and it was relief time.
