Those wheels aren't gonna work, not on the front anyway.
The factory offset is 56mm I believe.

when the car is cold feel behind the intake manifold for oil... there is a leak that develops on the rear of the intake manifold. It's an easy fix if you have basic knowledge and basic tools. There are even guides on the net that are readily available, but again this is something you can use to cut the price. I got my car with 36k on it, so I suggest you buy =) That's very low miles, especially for a 94.

Trust me, people talk a lot of **** about f bodies but I love mine... You get full exhaust, intake, torque converter, gears, you will be in the 12's for sure. Autos are perfect for drag racing.

Make sure the headlights go up and down without a problem...the motor gears like to strip out on these. Also, make sure the '94 specific fuel line recall has been done. Not sure, but on my '96 there was also a recall for the AIR pump (should be same/similar for '94).

Check brake condition and e-brake operation. Make sure it does not drag.

Gotta get back to class!
