My New 87 turbo II pics
this happened and im feeling alot better now. i just miss my bike 
this stuff makes you not want to have anything nice.
and i will have a big update here soon
so i was at rallys parking lot about to leave and a car has the blinker on getting ready to turn into the parking lot this driver instead floors the car 10ft away from me SMILES and hits me floored and doesn't let up. i stayed on the bike for 5ft then hit a curb and got smashed under a pt cruiser. i immediately got up and ran or limped fast across to the mcdonalds( thinking this guy was going to come back to get me again ) a buddy i knew helped me out and i was sent to the hospital. i have tons of road rash and a extremely swollen leg and a frractured ankle. i am lucky to be alive .
the driver is in jail. he had no license and was not in his own car. i have been told he is not right in the head. honestly i think he was trying to kill me.
i have not seen my honda but my dad says theres nothing left it was drug under the car into the pt crusier and crushed into the curb.
Edit: the guy walked off and is not in jail.......

Update !
I went out to a auto X event this past weekend and had a blast ! the car did great for stock suspension and i waxed a lot of cars. the bad was i tore a oil cooler line on the way home, ( im sure it was caused from autox ) luckily i caught it and nothing worse came of it besides a very oil coated under body. ( rust prevention ) 
the past week the car has been on jack stands getting the new suspension goodies installed ! It went smoothly except for my front wheel spacers being to large at 20mm i milled them down to 13.5 mm and had some problems. i washed the car and backed it out of the garage and snapped some pictures, my corksport oil cooler lines should be here monday. she is lowered about a 1" 1/2 all the way around.
^ dad backed into my bumper
I have some suspension install pics i will upload later.

I hadn't looked at this thread since the original motor popped and thought I'd glance through it again this evening. All I've got to say is wow... That motor looks amazing, and everything is so clean. Beautiful car man, maybe I'll see you at DGRR next year.

Went to autox again and had a blast. The car ran great and handled decent, i didnt have a chance to have it aligned and i could feel it. Next time out i will have corner balanced and aligned with some sticky dunlop star specs 
. Also i am going to roll my front fenders tomorrow, looks like cake to do.
here are the vids

Car has come a long way buddy, GREAT job! It kinda reminds me of the slow progression of my FC through the years. It keeps getting cleaner and cleaner as my wallet grows: the same stands true for yours.

Scenic overlook at the end of the dragon
This is such a cool place to go.The scenery is great, the roads are amazing, and you see some cool cars and bikes running around. I would recommend this place for any car guy.

Man I am loving the wheels buddy. I actually contemplated berween those and my equips for a very long time. You can never go wrong with WORK wheels.
Your FC is just transforming so much, keep it up and i wish your motor many happy trouble free years.
Great pics of the dragon too..........oh how i wish i could head east and experience that. Someday when my kids get a little older.
