Wow, when did you get those? Hey goto quick question for you can I use an N/A Intermediate housing on my TII? I kinda over ported and have a 2mm hole in the intake port that goes into the water jacket.....I gota N/A interhousing for free from a friend...if I can use and N/A housing would JB weld hold? I know it would but for not very long on a turbo right....so uh how much for one you have laying around, I think I soke with you on the phone once about a rotor housing but you said you use those for rebuilts...sorry for the Hi-Jack, just getting lazy

Theyre all customers cars. There is actually a fourth within an hour of here, but he doesnt need any work right now

can I use an N/A Intermediate housing on my TII
You could I guess, but you'd have to: 1) remove and replace the oil filler neck with your old t2 one (its a pressure fit, and hard to remove/reinstall), 2) port the intake ports, because theyre smaller than even stock t2, and 3) block off the EGR port on top. I still wont guarantee that the intake parts and/or port air port would line up with your turbo intake just right...

would JB weld hold?
LOL, no, I doubt it. remember that not only does it have to be watertight, but it has to hold up to 20psi of pressure (coolant system runs an average of 13, but 20 is a safe number given heat expansion etc.)

so uh how much for one you have laying around,
I have several, so Im willing to sell one.. $75 shipped. The reason I dont like to sell rotors or housings, is because those are the normal wear items in blown engines, so I always have less of those than I do irons, front covers, and e-shafts.

Well, the house adjacent to where the cars are, is an old dude that is only there for 3 months out of the year. He is gone from about september until june.

But hell, why do you say that? The cars are decent looking, not wrecked/junk/on blocks, and it's my yard after all...what can they say? **** em...

anyway, hey, got a question for you, since you seem to be good on the 10AE's, what's a good price for one? There's a dealer like 2 doors down from where I work, and one of our employees is on good terms with the dealer, they've got a 10AE in the garage, but I'm not sure how much they want for it...

it's just a pretty 88 turbo II...in fact, theyre heavier and slower than a regular turbo II fwiw. I know, I have to push the ******* in and out of the shop all the time, so I can give a concrete comparison

Depends on condition. If it needs nothing, runs good, has good paint and interior, $3000-4000 would not be out of the question; otherwise, price it just like a regular turbo II that needs attention. Remember if you buy one that needs restoration, the 10ae specific parts are a bitch to get in good condition, and way overpriced. By the time you get it back into top shape, you'll have $4-5k in it anyway. IMO, 10ae's are overrated, though they are pretty...

SLOWER!?!?!? Hell those 10th AE badges give at least 25 hp each .

Damn too bad you live so far away. Could use a good RX-7 mech around here. Plus it seems AEs really like you.

Those look so awesome all lined up. If I owned this house I live in I would start hoarding up s4 base models and put them in the back yard!

They say there were only 1500 made or something, but I swear otherwise. I've seen an absolute bundle around where I live alone. I almost see as many AE's as I do regular 7's!

Yeah, but if you figure 1500 as the original production run, and say 500 or so of those are no longer on the road (wrecked/crushed) that leaves 1000 still lingering around. That is enough for at least 1-2 per major city/region in north america. So, east TN has 4 that I know of, and there are prolly 4-8 between nashville, chatanooga, and memphis, for the average number of 10 per state. SO you figure the US might have 500-750 of them, and the rest in canada, it isnt at all unreasonable to find several in one state/province/large city...

Now hold on a sec, I doubt it if the owners of these cars would appreciate me parting out their stuff!

No, I dont have any 10th's to part. Damn, you could make some jack off the other 10th owners if you did though...last I saw badges were going for $100/set+. and steering wheels nearly that much.

Just get a set of polished 88 rims in great shape, and powdercoat them. You'll come out about the same as if you bought some 10ae wheels, and you'll get them in your hands a lot quicker(theyll be easier to find).
