are you set on getting a 93 or will any fox body be fine? the 93's didnt have forged pistons. i guess it would have to be what you like better. i think the LX and GT both look good. the LX has a clean look and the GT has a sporty look

LX is lighter, and get a 89-92, forged internals, and the redesigned interior with the 140 mph speedo.

But a fox that somebody has tweaked already, and has recipts and all for all the work done. Could save alot of money on mods.

you say that 89-92 has a redesigned interior how is the interior (other than the speedometer) different i'm looking a a 88 gt that is in VERY good cosmetic shape and is supposed to only need a head gasket replaced
seating is a very big area of concern for me because of the fact that i'm 6'6. I was planning on having some adapters made to move the seat back about 3 inches.
I can drive the car as is but this would make it much more pratical
