Exclamation Just bought an 88AE off ebay!!

I one happy man right now, ditched the honda for an RX-7 wooohooo!!!

I paid 3,125.00, car runs perfect and everything is in good shape, got it from a guy who was sellin on ebay and happened to be local. Its an 88 T2 AE w/100K..... AND
I recently bought a 91' NA off a friend for $100, was going to do the T2 swap, but could'nt refuse the deal on the Anniversary edition,the NA doesnt run, but its still an S5.
Im switchin over one corner panel(dent in the AE) and the rims and tires and the front bumper.
Is there anything else you fellas recommend I switch over to the 88'(S4), advice appreciated.
Also what are some decent mods to start off on the T2, it already has a aftermarket Boost guage, air/fuel guage, and custom intake and exhaust.
Thanks and Im finally in the Fam!

exhaust and intake are some of the least expensive 'heavy mods' to do to a car, so you seem to be all set already. you can always go for a FMIC, bigger injectors, and such. Congrats on the good buy!

you are putting the N/A 15" rims onto the turbo? or does it have aftermarket rims?

The 16"ers on the AE have no tread, and the 15"ers are brand new, they are 15" but Im going to do 16's after market in the near future. And the AE bumper is cracked so its going with the quarter panel that has a dent in it. Hate to do it, but the integrity of the AE is going to go...Hell the 91' was basically free.

And I love your Video. Where'd ya get that lip?

Please just take the time and find a S4 bumper, there's tons everywhere. It'll look horrible due to the moldings on the whole car being different! I'm sure someone would just give you a S4 bumper.
