Talking new owner!!! :-D

Hello, my name is Zack. After searching for nearly 11 months, I just purchased my first 7 from Marshall(mrb63083) on the boards. It's an 88' 10th AE. So thrilled w/ it! Anyways, i have about $1,500 saved up. The Apexi N1 exhaust is way to loud and has to go. I was planning on putting on a turbo-back RB and it is also, from what i hear, quiet. The car is already modded nicely as you can see in my sig, but what should be next? Upgraded turbo, suspension, SAFC (think is needed), boost controller, etc...? I'm probably going to head up to Marvel Speed, only hear good comments about them, and get it checked out. If anyone is selling a RB exhaust or anything else please PM me.

Thank you for your time and advice,

Zack

Yes he said it was an 88 10th AE.The motor is a 2 rotor 13BT.The 3 rotor engine is called the 20B.

S5 tail lights, S5 front bumper so i dont get flamed first, lol.

4RotorRocket:
$3900; Pics up tomorrow or monday (going to dyno tomorrow); FMIC doesn't scrape at all.; I would include the DP, MP, the custom 3" piping, and muffler (basically turbo back). Trying to get $750 cuz i need to get the RB. Negoitable though.

High Voltage:
13b - 2 rotor
20b - 3 rotor
But yes, it does have a 13b turbo motor in it.

You would want to get an S5 TII then.It is a 13B engine in that car but the earlier year 13B motors are called 13BT's.Or you can get an S4 and swap the tailights and it would look like an S5.There's about a 200lb weight difference between the S4 and S5 fc3s.Good luck and feel free to PM me with any newbie questions you might have.

word.....i was in traffic so much yesterday having to stop in go by the end of the day my achilles was killing and so was my knee. There is a bolt and nut that you can lengthen or shorten underneath the clutch pedal to give you more play.

I'm sorry that you bought one of these old curses.. I wish I would have never bought mine, but I'm addicted to it now.

I saw that in the FS section last week. My father was going to jump on a deal with the guy. (After picking my AE up in Kansas, my dad really likes it and said he would like to have one) Anyway, you got to it before we could. Enjoy her! AEs are indeed the most awesome FC
mwhahahahahaha
