Cool, thanks. I'll check them out. Passenger sides seem to be easier to find but all the driver side seats I've checked out in the area are worn.

 

yeah, I want to know this too. Isn't there an online registry or something?

 

Whops! Thanks for that, I forgot to subscibe to my own thread....

 

wow u got a pretty good deal on it

 

theres a difference between pass and driver seats?

 

I just got my 10th AE. Sister bought it new. Promised she'd sell it to me when she was ready. She replaced the turbo and wouldn't get the engine rebuilt because of overheat. 80k miles original. 2 folders of dealer receipts. Got it for $1,600. Paint peeling in various places. Think they painted over the original instead of taking it down to primer/metal. Sent my wife to tow it from CA before Sis changed her mind. Since I'm a NewB at 54 with my first rotary, I'm going to let Kevin at RR rebuild this puppy for me.

 

hahahaha..what a lonely driver...

 

Probably the only difference is the handle to recline the seat but that is a big difference.

 

On that note, does anyone else not like how the seats don't have tilting?

 

Finally got my comp back up and running so here are more pics.

Engine bearings look toast to me.

Rotor bearing:

 

Front stationary gear bearing:

 

these the seats that need to go in. tobad my dad threw them away or i would have given them to u

 

Great car for a project Dan.
When your done, you can help me put mine back together

 

I need to restore the AE shift ***, any sugestions?
Can the rear white emblems be just painted black ones?

 

anyone need NEW REPRO carpet badges

 

The Eshaft isn't messed up is it? Those bearings look pretty bad.

 

Mabey, where?

 

Both my seats are like MINT. I got hooked up when I bought this car. The previous owner used leather conditioner like every week. And my paint isnt peeling anywhere. He did take off all the outside emblems though (except the side anniversary ones) I want to know how you figured out which # your car was also =/ I dont have the stickers from inside the doors though if thats how you figured it out :'(

 

Rx-Heven, anytime, just let me know. I want to see that 20B run soon. :p

dr.jones63, I'm looking for restored shift ****/boots too. Let me know if you find one...

Parasite, e-shaft seems to "look" ok. But I haven't inspected it closely yet or measured it yet.

 

DAMN...your seats look like the ones i have..and i was always under the impression that they were original 10th aniv seats =(

 

I have them

 

Thought I should update after nearly 3 months...

Alright, so my previous engine was torn down and I was really pissed. The only useable parts are the front cover, possibly the irons, the eshaft, and maybe one rotor housing. All rotor bearings and gear bearings were worn. Rear stationary gear teeth chipped. One rotor gear chipped. One rotor had a stuck apex and corner seal and a small chunk of the triangle corner assist seal chipped and damaged a small part of the rotor. Other rotor housing has a few small nicks on the sides. So I picked up a few other cores and found a suitable engine to rebuild.

Anyways, I removed the engine finally about two weeks ago. Now begins the pain in the *** part of removing every single part in the engne bay and putting them in bags and labeling them. Engine bay will be degreased, sanded, more sanding, degreased, then primered, wetsanded, dried, and finally painted. Front subframe is going to be removed as well to get in every corner. Energy bushings are on order and injectors will be sent out for cleaning in the meantime.



In the pic, you can see how badly damaged the engine was from the PD fire. Change your PD guys!!
