You don't have an 88AE.
Mazda did not make an AE with an automatic tranny.

I can get to about ~150kph in 3rd, I think.. I usually shift at about 6500 tho.... It's been a while since I've made the trip, to tell the truth

how is your turbo engine holding up with 8000RPM + boost? I've been told by many people that the TII's just don't like super mega high revs...
