just a couple questions

just now when i got to work i turned off my car and just sat in it for awhile. While sitting there i heard these clicking type sounds from the exhaust under the car and was just wondering if that was anything out of the ordinary, i didn't think so, but may someone has some info.

Also my car is an AE and i was wondering what that stood for?

Seeing as i am very new to this car and rx-7's in general i was wondering if there was anyone that lived close to me. I live in Santa Maria, CA, it's in between santa barbara and san luid obispo. Was just wondering cause i would like to see other peoples cars to compare and see what i want to do with mine and just overall to get to know some people with rx-7's.

thanks again,

billy

my car is a 88 AE(whatever that means) base as far as i know.

Exhausts geet very hot, and when metal gets hot it expands. When it cools down it contracts, and that makes a ticking sound. Pop the bonnet nest time you shut down and have a listen. It gets pretty loud.

"AE" is short for 10th Anniversary Edition, a limited run to commemorate the RX-7's 10th birthday.
