fine then I didnt want it anyway if I have to I know where a 87 aero is that was been in a fire that i can get and swap into but i wanted something that has all the plastics etc there. the upside to the aero is it still has the variated engine it looks like crap and is missing almost all the plastic and the wires are melted. If I cant find anything suitable i will just swap this engine into the other Spree since I am going to leave it mostly stock. I have a third af16 to build so my options are wide open

I have thought about swapping an af16 into my spree but I'm not very good when it comes to fabricating and the works. So I figured I would keep it stock so I have a runnin scoot, build this currently non running elite and then once I get it up and on the road, keep doing harder builds and work my way up to the af16.

[Mystic]

swapping the motor is actually realllly easy if you have a welder

[Carnie]

I don't have one but can get my hands on one relatively easily. I am mostly worried about rewiring everything and mounts.

[Mystic]

wiring is easy, cut the connectors from the spree engine and match them up to the af16 wire colors, voila they hook right up , splice and crimp. there are several threads in the build section with pics on the mounts. if you can get a custom shock mount from richdavidson34 half the work is done if you have the elite e and hte engine is blown go ahead and do that with the af16 but you still have to do some fab work

[Mystic]

hey motormike there is another elite 80 in Hendersonville for 300 bucks this one is black might talk him down to 250

[motormike]

I sent an email, no response yet....another likely missed opportunity. Thanx for hollering about these. Have been some good deals.

[Mystic]

I am all about a good deal. If i had the money and was closer I would be all over these BUT alas I am not so I figured since these have been in your neck of the woods I might as well pass along the info

[motormike]

Mystic....the Orange '92 Elite 80 was bought by GKinTn....he has since bought some parts from me, so your efforts have been appreciated....rock-on.....

[Mystic]

Groovy glad I could help put a few bucks in your pocket btw are you getting any of this snow?? its all slushy and wet but it is sticking to certain surfaces like my Hughesnet dish i decided to experiment and climbed a ladder and used a broom to brush the surface of the dish itself of snow and my signal came right back up, I hate snow
