Uh......no. Just because it has a 1g manifold and thermostat neck doesn't mean it's a 6 bolt. BTW, his car is a 1g.

Just go feel the oil pan like described in the link I gave you. You should be able to figure it out in a few seconds. Or you can drop the trans and take a look.

Well, it still has the black top CAS, but that really does not mean anything.

Well, if it has the original 93 engine, it will be a 1g 7 bolt, which are much different than the 95+ 7 bolt engines. So for sure, it doesn't have a 95+ 7 bolt engine.

But seriously, go slide your hand and feel the timing belt side of the oil pan, it takes about 5 seconds to figure it out.
