CA Pix of worn out 10th AE engine

The outsides all pretty much look the same. My engine is getting rebuilt. Here is why.

This was the 3rd engine in this car, it lived the longest with 78,000 miles on it and was a MANA refurbished engine installed in 1997.

I'm picking up my new engine next week.

All 5 housings have been replaced with S5 housings,FD rotors, S5 flywheel and front counterweight, FD oil pump and pressure reg, RX8 e-shaft, all new bearings, RA super seals and springs, Atkins solid corner seals, FD side seals and springs, RX8 corner seal springs, street port and port matched intake manifold. I'll be running Rtek 2.1, 720/1000cc injectors and emissions equipment.

Other than that, it's just like ...stock.

I put a lot of thought into this project, and I think this will be a very livable combo as a somewhat DD. The car will not see the track anymore and I do have another car, but I like this one, and I like to drive my cars. I plan to run 12-15 lbs of boost and live with it daily as needed.

I'm Baaaaack...

I'm still breaking it in, close to 1,000 miles now. She has never run better, as far as drivability. I will take some interior pix and post them soon.

Interior shots...to follow, as they didn't attach.

The gauges in the glovebox door are peak hold/recall...cause you know you can't read them while you are driving.

The original owner put'em in, I didn't.

The left storage box is converted to a sub box.
