go with the 92 newer is always better. If both are the same. The '92 has the progressive power steer whereas the 87 does not. Plus, now I'm not 100% sure of this but the 92 will have an LSD and the 87 will not.

aight thanks for the opinions, if i brought me 92, end up i got bhg with spark plugs covered with oil instend 87 no problem with HG, but have problem with wiring harass and was told that it needed to be replaced can that help stop short out wiring when it got warm, cold start with no problem so what you think? Last one, which one is lighter too?

No weight difference from one year to another... nothing more than 5 or 10 pounds anyway.

ALL Turbo models came with LSD, JDM models had two different types available depending on the powerplant and trim.

Never buy a car based on year if it's the same generation. The MKIII wasn't all that different in '92 as it was in '87... It's rarer, but either one could have been beaten within an inch of its life on a daily basis. As old as these cars are the individual vehicle's production date means VERY little. There were differences which started accruing in '89 but they're nothing I would base a purchase on.

I'd love to advise you further Dawg, but I just can't understand you. Sorry.

Basic im trying to buy me almost any mk3 turbo stick n runs for dirty cheap so i can drive it around for while then once i got my money again im about mod it to 10 sec street car/daily driver..

Maybe later today im goin back to that 92 and try clean the sparks then fire it up if not i might dont want, i see alot oil yeaterday inside the pistons not top of spark plugs under..
When i try start it it kinda runs but sluggish and dies when i let go the clutch.

Another one 87 most of them parts is new as i was told but having problem with starting system im not sure jus yet personaly i will check it out on friday. And was told that i might need to swap new wiring harass for it to runs better.
