I drove my FD, working on some street tunning, keep getting some knock hits that I'm trying to tune out, very consistent too, gotta love the PFC and datalogit.

Because from the accident, it can look like FD owner was trying to beat the other car by making the left turn. It would side the FD owner alot more if the damage wasnt as bad but from the damage, it looks like the FD owner basically didnt even bother to yield to oncoming traffic and tried to beat them with the left turn.

ha my 2000 cherokee has 292,350 miles on the original trans, rear, and suspension. a/c doesn't work and the dash backlights are shorted out, but the sucker runs like a champ and gets me through my 150 mile daily commute with out issue.

Im in phoenix.
Im not looking at another FD unfortunetly.. It would break my heart to try to work that hard on another one. I had so much time and money into that one that I couldn't even dream of picking up a wrench to try it again.
Im happy to be ok though.
I hope everyone had an AWESOME thanksgiving

I replaced my stock leather seats with a set of skins from leatherseats.com. It was a very straight forward installation and quite enjoyable. I highly recommend their products. I would estimate that it was about a 6 hour ordeal.
If you keep an eye out, they have clearance auctions on ebay - auctions start @ $0 and no reserve.
FWIW - It's a little tougher to get in and out now without the 16+ year old slicky seats...

yes the engine is only 3000 miles on it, all mazda OEM parts rebuilt. BNRIII's have uh.... 700 miles on them now?
If i can buy back the car i will for pennies on the dollar and pull the engine turbines ok guys dont worry. If its more than 1500 for it though im letting it go.
I did get a new car though (that i cant drive yet but i can look at it hahah)

^^^ Always a big fan of the NSX, just doesn't make sense for a daily driver for me and I've already got too many "weekend" vehicle that don't even drive.
I was productive. Finished putting in the Exedy twin plate, put in tranny, new slave cylinder w/ braided line, installed banzai tranny brace (which despite their claims I swear doesn't fit without slight modification, midpipe & Exhaust, and put in my new to me V-Mount setup. Now just gotta custom fab some brackets to hold the AC Condenser parrallel to the ground under the radiator...
