Question Buying a 93

Hey guys
im very interested in a 93 i found. But, i know from my sisters old 93 that she had bad apex seals when she bought it and it wound up being a new crate engine. I'm trying to avoid any problems after buying it. So i would like to know what are common problems or just certain things to check out before purchasing an fd. I'm not too unfamiliar with forced induction. I have two supercharged Miata's. I know turbo's are different, so when test driving about when should boost kick in The car does have a front mount I/C i dont know if that will affect it or not.
Thanks for all your help

Since your post count is so low why don't you answer his questions and those of us with nothing better to do can flame you. After all I'm sure there's nothing of value in the stickies. (I think they were put there for those that get tired of answering the SOS) But your new so knock yourself out.
