Had a hell of a day. Worked from 8 to 5 then came home and pulled a TT motor out of my wrecked parts car. Really sucked getting the rear motor mount off after the motor got pushed 4 inches into the firewall. Finished up Around 11.

Also swapped on my 2G calipers and slotted rotors all around on Friday. Haven't had time to grab a good photo of the car though.

Finished up the drivers side quick polishing. What a difference, looks great! Has a few small dings in it but it is in far better shape than the 94.

Started pulling the engine. Only have axles and mounts left. These things are crazy to work around! So much crap! Good times though. The supercar-engineering guide is so in depth and makes it SOO easy to follow! Hats off to whoever made that.
This car is surprisingly clean though! Everything is there and there is a very minimal amount of surface rust. Paint cleaned up well, interior cleaned up well, just needed a little TLC and it's great! It needs a V8 too ;)

Purchased the Yamaha R3 yesterday, couldn't get it in blue. Only dealer with any left in blue is about an hour away. Haven't ridden in a long time, so ride home yesterday was interesting. So far, bout 60mpg, should go up after break in period is over.
Even with payments and insurance, saves about 200-300 a month over driving the truck
First bike? I've seen those get pretty rave reviews.Quote:

First I've owned. I rode a bit when I was in my late teens back in 05/06. This is a big step up in responsiveness from what I rode then (admittedly all borrowed.). Reviews for it were great, haven't ridden it enough to give a good review yet. Thus far I put about 5-10 miles on it, we got it home just in time for it to start raining.Quote:

Have any pictures?
Not on me. We rolled it into a packed and messy garage last night. If it holds off on rain today we plan on washing, waxing and snapping some pictures.Quote:

Well not today, but yesterday got the Bastard's engine down to the short block

There is a more detailed update posted in the revival thread. I got notice that the oil pump should be here tomorrow and water pump should be here Thursday. Once those are received, other than oil pump gasket (which should be here by next week at the latest), I should have everything I need for reassembly of the engine.
Pretty sweet bikeQuote:
