5.4L, 93 has same rods as the 92. Unless you are going to track the car the stock rods are long lived.

No, sorry, I did not. My 86.5 already had a burgundy interior - I did not want another so I did not take any pics
Couple of other things about this car - there is some body damage behind the drivers side rear wheel. The dent will need to be pulled out and some paint done. Not much damage but definitely noticeable.
As well, the rear spoiler is cracked on the top and has a small divot out of the back side. The cracks on the top are very noticeable and will need repair and paint.
The stickers on the inside of the drivers door well are missing which, when coupled with the slightly different cover of the drivers rear quarter, makes me think this car was fixed up - as a minimum repainted there. Same for the front nose. The passenger door interior trim at the top of the window is damaged as well (small damage).
Having said the above, and as Malcolm has indicated - nice car for the price. A bit of work and someone will have a nice GTS (low miles) for less than they could sell for. The risk is a car from Japan (potential heat soak on the engine) and the question if you will find another buyer looking for a ROW car.
If I only knew where to put it and had more time, I may be tempted (if only a different color - exterior and interior). Except for the motor mounts, lots of the mechanical has been completed.
Regards,

The Calgary car looks like a smokin' deal compared to this similar ex-Japan 92 GTS in Vancouver for $33K:
